Garden
This is the path as it was in June 2004 before we bought the house. Pavias with gravel infill - diffcult to walk along and it was messy.

July 2005
I had removed most of the original path as I needed the pavias for the driveway. In this photo, we have laid out the (reclaimed) slabs and pavias to see what it would look like.

January 2006
Using a friend's inexpensive laser level we staked out the edges and fixed shuttering ply to form the lefthand border edge.
|
Both edges
The shuttering ply for both edges is set here. We had reshaped the path a little from the orignal setting it closer to the border.
|
Hardcore
Fortuantely I had collected some over the last few months while the street pavements were relaid.
|
Concrete
Laying the concrete onto the hardcore with a notched spreader...
|
Half complete
I had run out of cement and ballast at this point and it was getting late, so I covered it over and called it a day.

February 2006
The second half of the path went down much more quickly with two of us working on it. The concrete base is hard enough to walk on now.
