The first step to creating your Paver Path is to determine your project area, paver size and type, and quantities required. For our purposes we will be creating a path 20 feet long and 3 feet wide using 12-inch x 12-inch paver stones. Since we know the length and width of the path we’re creating, finding the square footage is a simple matter of multiplying the length (20 feet) by the width (3 feet), giving us a total area of 60 square feet. The pavers will be laid out in pairs of two with 6 inches of space between each pair. There’s a gap of both 3 inches and 6 inches between pavers and walkway edge. The paver pairs will alternate spacing as the path continues. With this pattern, you’ll need a total of 28 pavers. Before laying the pavers, we need to prepare the area by plotting out the path and clearing away any grass to a depth of around 4 to 6 inches. Use stakes and string to mark out the course and finished elevation of the path. Then use a shovel or tiller to clear the area.

Edging for flower beds with upside-down bottles dug into the dirt. Imagine if you ran rope lights behind that in the summer to light up the bottles at night. It would be very beautiful. If you go through a lot of alcohol bottles, this would be perfect for you.

Tree stump garden. You can find one in an alley, gut it, and fill it up. Free, easy, worth the work.
