Hard to believe where it started. This is the beginning of our garden pathway project: getting the hardcore down and checking the levels before moving on to the slabs.
One job at a time
The idea is a pathway with big concrete paving slabs and gravel around them. We’re building it with the budget we’ve got, so each stage needs a bit of thought before the next bit of spending.
This first video records the groundwork. There’s still plenty to do, including deciding how to get the slabs without turning a budget project into an expensive one.

I already have pallet timber, so making my own concrete moulds seems worth investigating. Part 2 is where I check whether that idea actually holds up.
