Garden STONE PATH🏡: from Start to Finish PROJECT



Garden slate stone path doesn’t need to be very expensive to install, especially if you plan to introduce creeping plants between the stones. Olga is showing you how she did it from start to finish. She acquired stones from the local Transfer Station, stones were free and weathered – a great bonus. Stone path is built before winter and the cycle of freezing and thawing will settle the path into its permanent position. Happy gardening!

    It looks beautiful 🤩 ❤ and I also love the music very nice. Have a great day. Can’t wait to see everything grown.❤

    Turned out so nice. I really like the idea of the low rustic fence, I can hear the fairies now asking if they can move in.

    Looks beautiful! Those stones are fairly pricey from landscapers. I had a path done a few years ago with some other huge boulders & outcrop stones for my backyard. At that time they were between $40 & $55 per flagstone. You have a little goldmine there! Rocks & stones are so fun, and looks so lovely. Really adds so much character to your garden!! Beautiful

    I went to a granite company one day at a yard sale and they had broken pieces of granite and I got a lot and made a walkway out of it it's been down for years and still looks good

    Mr. Carmody is a lucky man.

    One thing I think more gardeners would do well to have in the shed is a "trenching" shovel. When it comes to digging holes for small pots, and around established tree roots, there's really nothing better. The trenching shovel has a much narrower blade that can get between rocks and roots, and since they're 4" or 5" wide, the shovel still brings out plenty of soil with each scoop. I grew up using the traditional wide-blade spades, but hardly ever need them now that I have a trenching shovel to use around the yard.

    Olga, we're in the midst of some family drama and I was awake and worrying before dawn. As I made my coffee I thought, "I need to go visit Olga in her garden. That will bring me peace." And it surely did. Bless you for sharing your garden, your gentleness, your love of nature, your creativity, your enthusiasm and your peacefulness with your gardening friends. I am so glad I am one of them. And thank you, too, to Mr. Carmody behind the camera. The music chosen for this video about your new path is simply beautiful. 🥰🥰🥰

    You're going to wear me out, Mrs. O! Now realize I'm 67 years old, but I think a good Winter rest and I'll be good to go next year with a new path for my garden. . .thanks for the tip about it not being too narrow. Now let's see, I'll be 68 next year- – -yep I think I can make it.

    Looks great! Since the tree roots didn't allow for the usual ground prep, I am curious whether over time the stones will be swallowed up and reclaimed by the earth? Maybe lifting the stones every few years and adding fresh gravel or sand would help with this?

    Hi, Olga, I was thinking to add some new soil around an old large pine tree in my front yard. The soil has badly deteriorated from rain water pooling around the tree roots causing a lot of them to become exposed. My front yard slopes out to the sidewalk so the water holds heavily in that area. My concern is that the tree roots will weaken to the point of the tree eventually falling. But you are saying that new soil should not be added around an established tree base though. Would you please explain why? Thanks so much!!

    Lovely video. Please don’t let your kids run on your new path. We had one like yours and my son suffered a bad freak accident. He fell and cut his knee so deeply. Emergency surgery and over 100 stitches later. His knee cap was saved. Oddly his jeans were not ripped! Thank you

    You did a great job. You have such a gift to make something beautiful from the things, like stones, and limbs, and of course plants and flowers. Your yard is so very lovely. Thank you Olga for sharing.❤

    Just found your videos and now I'm hooked! You're in my top five favorites. Love your garden and you provide so much wonderful information! Thank you!

    The yews are very over grown as well as the cone shape tree. They make your house look small. I would trim or replant them. Just my opinion.
