Lay a Paver Path: Materials

Install a functional paver path to enhance your front yard or garden walkway.

Paver Path Materials:

  • Pavers
  • Landscape fabric
  • Gravel
  • Plastic edging
  • Metal spikes
  • Coarse bedding sand
  • Fine silicate sand
  • Water

Paver Path Tools:

  • String
  • Stakes
  • Chalk or spray paint
  • Shovel or trenching tool
  • Tamper (hand or electric)
  • Rake
  • 2x6 board (as long as the width of the path)
  • Rubber mallet
  • Carpenter’s level
  • Masonry saw (optional for cutting pavers)
  • Broom

TIP: Determine how many cubic feet of sand or gravel you’ll need by multiplying the path length by width and then multiplying by the desired depth. For cubic yards, divide that number by 27.

Learn how to mix your own pavers from concrete.
