There are many variations on creating a stone path, and you can create visually appealing stone designs without too much effort.

Thick paving stones require minimal preparation. All you need to do is dig away the grass, weeds and other plant material from the pathway. Then sprinkle sand or granite dust over the area. The last step is placing the stones in the desired areas and tapping them into the ground with a hammer.

If you want to use different types of rocks, create a path with slate stones, fieldstone and gravel. The fieldstone can create a substantial border. Then you can place the slate intermittently throughout the pathway and fill in the empty spaces with a pebble rich in Earth tones. This type of path is more permeable and will allow water to flow through better.

Brick can also compliment slate. If you have any extra brick from building your home, you can use it as a border for your path.
