Creating the Base
In order to save a lot of money on your landscape project, you can rely on the veneering process to create a quality finish without the need for full-depth materials. In this video, we highlight the process of laying down very cost-effective rock as a base, then installing a high-value veneer to top things off.
Lay your base of river rock (or any inexpensive gravel material you can find) evenly and roll it in. We utilize between 2.5 and 3 inches of rock here, evenly dispersed across the entirety of the garden path. This rock can be found between $40 and $70 per yard, allowing you to cover a lot of ground for little cost.
Adding the Veneer
Once the base has been laid, you can get to work in laying down your finish rock (we utilized Colorado river rock here). Utilize a metal dust pan or flat shovel to gently place a layer of the rock over the base layer. You can lay one layer of this high-cost rock down to create the right coverage without breaking the bank. When all is said and done, all you will see is this nice veneer, delivering a depth of quality that your family and guests will love for years to come.
Protect Your Investment With Klingstone Paths
This one-step gravel stabilizer from Howell Pathways serves as a polyurethane binder, creating a clear coat of protection to keep your garden pathways protected and intact after years of rainfall and foot traffic.It is also the only product to be both water permeable and ADA-approved! Klingstone Paths has garnered a reputation for versatility and beauty, as our pathway stabilizer has been used on major projects including the labyrinth project in the Gayla Mize Gardens, Texas A&M, Miami International Airport, Clemson University, Colonial Williamsburg, and more.
We’re excited about how easy it is to install Klingstone Paths on your property — It’s as easy as watering your plants! Once your rock and veneer have been placed, simply pour the gravel stabilizer onto the rocks and let it set. You can rely on our applicator wand for smaller projects, or invest in an applicator pump to cover a lot of ground. Pour the Klingstone Paths on, wait, and enjoy your new pathway!
