One of the projects that you can undertake to transform your outdoor space quickly and easily with how to create a pathway with pebbles using weed mat. Here is a step by step guide on how to create a pathway using weed mat. How you can achieve a functional and visually appealing pathway through out your garden or yard.

Step 1: Prepare the area you need to leave clear.

First, prepare the intended area of the pathway. Dig out the area to a depth of  about 10 cm, which is enough room for the base layers and pebbles while maintaining the ground level.

Step 2: Lay a firm Base.

After digging out the area, you need to establish a firm base for the pathway. Spread the crushed rock evenly on the cleared out area and level it with a compacting tool like a roller, as this ensures a firm base and even distribution. Add the bluestone dust on top of the rock to a depth of  5 cm as it will give a smoother surface. Bluestone dust is more compact and smooth and will provide an ideal surface for the weed mat.

Step 3: Lay the Weed Mat

The next phase is laying the weed-mat. Spread the weed mat over the compacted base as the weed mat provides several functions. This includes preventing the growth of weeds underneath and adding strength to the pathway. Ensure that the weed mat covers the entire area of the pebbles.

Step 4: Add the Pathway Toppings or Pebbles

Finally, you are ready to lay down the pebbles which is the final layer of your pathway. Spread a 5-10cm deep layer of small pebbles or pathway toppings on top of the weed mat for a good coverage. The thickness varies with the size of the pebbles. Use a rake to spread the pebble uniformly across the path and smooth the appearance.

Step 5: Maintenance

After the pathway is complete, you should ensure that the pathway is well maintained. Clear the surface of dirt and leaves to ensure that  it remains glamorous. Check the weed mat for any signs of weed growth and remove the weeds to avoid any holes in the mat.

With the above steps, you will have a beautiful pathway with pebbles. This how to, step by step guide will help you create a pathway with pebbles with weed mat, which serves as a previously viable solution for your landscaping project.
