Instructions on how to construct a pebble path, including materials and quantity required.In this project we are going to show you how to make a pebble path. We are going to use 100×75 h4 treated tanalised posts for the edgings, gap 20 basecourse and a choice of a number of toppings (pebbles, bark, shell, chip etc.) A pebble path is easier and cheaper to construct than a paving stone path and irregular and curved shapes offer no problem although weeds can be a nuisance and regular raking can sometimes be necessary. For this project we are assuming the ground is moderate to firm, if not, soft ground will need to be excavated deeper and replaced by basecourse metal.

MATERIALS | INFORMATION |
100×75 sawn h4 treated | Normally used as standard fence posts. Come in lengths of 2400mm |
GAP 20 Base course | GAP 20, General All Passing, is a mixture of crushed rock graded to 20mm and everything below. One cubic metre would be enough to do a path 1m wide x 20m long or 20 sq metres |
river pebbles | Different sizes. One cubic metre would be enough to do a path 1m wide x 30m long or 30 sq metres |
garden bark | An alternative to pebbles. One cubic metre would be enough to do a path 1m wide x 30m long or 30 sq metres |
Shells | An alternative to pebbles. Different sizes. One cubic metre would be enough to do a path 1m wide x 30m long or 30 sq metres |
McCallum chip | An alternative to pebbles. One cubic metre would be enough to do a path 1m wide x 30m long or 30 sq metres |
White chip (limestone) | An alternative to pebbles. One cubic metre would be enough to do a path 1m wide x 30m long or 30 sq metres |
