psychw2, congratulations on getting rid of all your grass. It's a great feeling when you can get rid of that lawn mower isn't it? I've been grass free for about 10 years or so and still looking for a path solution I can afford and that is also practical for me to do myself. I considered doing the molded concrete steps, but lifting those 60 pound bags of concrete mix is just more than my 60 year old back can handle. Your right about the pea gravel not being a very stable walking surface. I first did my front path in peagravel, but have since added pavers to make it safer to walk on. I have mine further apart than okus, but they fit my step just right. After seeing okus's I may add more as I can afford them. I do find that sometimes the pea gravel gets up on the pavers and then they are slippery. My back paths are bark and that means it's not permanent and also weeds grow in it even with the weed cloth underneath. I'll be interested in seeing what you come up with. If I could afford it, I think poured concrete with a stone pattern printed into it would be ideal. Not sure what the next people to buy this house would think of that though.
