A stepping stone path is a great way to step up your landscaping and connect different parts of your yard. Although there is a bit of manual labor involved the material cost can be very reasonable. This is a perfect weekend project and you can select inexpensive pavers or natural stone for a higher-end look.

Not sure where you are physically located but would there be any potential issues doing this type of installation in New England with the freeze / thaw cycles? Thanks for all the great info!
Great Video. "Good, Fast, Cheap – Pick any two". Alex, I'll take Good and Cheap for $200.
I would definitely do this myself..73yo female
I'd do it myself instead of paying to hire it out
I recommend buying one extra paver to store so that when one breaks, you've got the replacement. With tile, some styles are only made for 1 year, so if they're not subway or more common tiles, you might want to get an extra box because a few years down the road those tiles might be a nightmare to find/replace if you need to.
I love your videos. Right to the point. Not long and drawn out and so informative. I will easily do this myself! Thank you
Thank for your informative video. Can you please name the drill bit? thank you
What is another way to lift the grass out? I live in Texas where the soil is very tough! And grass doesnt lift that easily with a shovel…. Or is this the best option and I will need to use extra elbow grease?
We moved into a house that already has an over-grown and sunken walkway, so this is really helpful to know how to fix it! Thank you!
Well I made the jump and bought 100 16”x16” pavers… I’m gonna do a 10’ x 23’ patio in a checkerboard pattern with mosses in between … 😮. Wish me luck !!! Lol
To cut the grass with the lawnmower, is it ok?
DIY for sure! I actually did this in my backyard, but I didn’t lay sand, it has settled over time by itself. I am thinking of laying more in another area and will try the sand this time. Thanks for the video!
Love it! Which bag of paver sand did you use?
Thank you! We’ve been talking about installing pavers in the path between the front an back yard for years. It’s shady so grass won’t grow and there are roots from surrounding trees. My husband and I both watched the video, moved the 16 inch pavers around a bit until we were both happy and the next day we got started. Using the edger was brilliant! That was the most intimidating part. We did use an ax and loppers on a few roots but it was surprisingly easy. Because it’s July and we’re not young we installed four pavers each morning. We’re pretty darn pleased with ourselves.
I would like to try this on my own
DIY for sure
I would have ordered a delivery of flagstone
DIY my man
Dyi
@EverydayHomerepairs could I do this for runner/strips leading to my fence doors where I park my trailer inside? Do I need a stronger base, or is the sand good enough to hold the weight of my truck and trailer for a short while? I have some pretty solid pavers by the way, also 20x20in. thank you. By the way, awesome job on the video!!
Do i need weed cloth?
Wow, I can do this.
definitely want to do this as a DYI project
Hey EHR, I've an issue hearing about the different sand base. I live close to the beach, and I use beach sand as a base?
I have more time than money, so definitely doing it myself. But I’m on a five year plan of no mow front yard. Need a walkway from my driveway to my front door. At 65 I think I can manage it. The weight gets to me the most. Your video did help me figure out how many pavers I’m gonna need and what the cost would be. Thank you.
I love doing it myself!; thanks for info!
Last one
if you are using squares, you might want to cut a 20 in square pc of plywood to use as a test "square" to check level…..a whole lot easier to lift in and out
Could you put two rows for tires and make a driveway? Are these pavers strong enough?
This style of walkway with gaps, makes shovelling in winter a real pain in the ass.
But, thank goodness you didnt pack decorative rock between each of them like most other youtubers seem to be doing.
Come winter, those bloody rocks will be getting heaved across the lawn after each snowfall.
All the 'old style' front walkways where I live are these 24×30 paver slabs, but they're practically flush up to eachother, with no gap.
Unfortunately, that doesnt seem to be in style anymore though.
My rant aside though, your video was well made, and informative and I DO appreciate it!
Thank you
Amazing how fast he can swing a hammer😜 great video👍
Do myself. Thanks
First time seeing your videos and I found it extremely helpful. I'm a subscriber to your channel now.
Heck yeah id do this DIY. You get a gym workout, landscaping skills, and boost of confidence.
Nice. I will try it in next summer.
How do you trim the grass in the middle?
Nice video. Hard job to do physically. They're a pain in the butt to level, but once you get them right its well worth it.
Won't be easy to lay the slabs on top of the grass?
So Beautiful. Where can I buy these stepping stone pavers?
DIY all day
I sold the exact same job earlier this week for $750. 24x24in pavers in sod. I included 15 in my proposal but will probably only use 12 or so. Nice tip on the saw.
