Aiight, it's like this. I been fixing the backyard of the crib up for awhile now. We got a couple Tuff Sheds built and what not, Now I'm trying to make a walkway out of rocks or whatever from the back door of the garage to the entreance of the 2 sheds. I don't wanna fuck with the stepping stones/brick things, Them are garbage and don't look that good. I was thinking maybe lava rock path or gravel path regular rock path whatever. Something along them lines. Anyone have any ideas what I could use to make the path/walk way and what would work out the best for say winter time when it's raining and a mutha fucka don't want to get his feet all muddy and shit. What materials would I need besides rocks of course and what do you think the total cost would be. Someone help me out, good looking in advance ya'll. Thanks.

IF U DONT USE ROCKS OR STEPPING STONES THEN I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE U COULD USE. CONCRETE PERHAPS OR U COULD MAKE A LITTLE DECK WITH WOOD. DEPENDING ON DISTANCE A WIDTH OF THE WALK WAY IT COULD RUN NO LESS THAN 500 DONT FORGET CINDERBLOCKS FOR THE FOUNDATION SUM NOT ALOT. U COULD CHEW ON THAT ONE MAYBE

its actually really easy to pour a little concrete. you mght consider that if you dont want to have to keep fucking around and adding rocks as they get knocked off of the path. its easy to keep clean too.

Theres several ways to make walkpaths, 50lb bags of concrete are relative inexpensive your gonna need a few depending on the size of the path, a shovel to make the path way some 2x4s on each sides to make a smooth straight pathway and an extra one to level the surface. Sand works good before you pave level that off too before pouring concrete thats if you go that route. Check your local home depot they have on weekends do it yourself classes. Surf the net. HGTV.com or DIY.com might have nice step by step read throughs.....

you could easily go to home depot n get the concrete n they have templates that you pour the concrete into and it makes them perfect every time. Just ask them about the exact details time wise with the concrete in the template
