Plan out your path, using chalk spray or another temporary marker. First, plan out the basic route of your path. Next, use measuring tools to mark out an even width along your route. Double check to make sure there is no delicate plumbing or wiring along your intended route!
Measure the area of your intended path so you'll know how much gravel to purchase. You will want your path to be covered by at least an inch and a half (3 cm) of gravel.
Pick your gravel. Choose a color and texture that is appropriate to your yard design, needs, and budget.
Dig a trench about 2 inches deep. The edges of the trench will be flush with the outlined edges of your path.
Line your trench with landscape fabric or two layers of burlap or newspaper to smother weeds, but allow drainage.
Edge your trench with rocks or bricks to contain the gravel.
Add your gravel,
