Sally, I know there have been a couple of thread on making paths this year... here's one from Cottage Gardening, http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/680267/#new. You might consider putting down landscape fabric under the gravel to help limit the weeds. I could swear I read somewhere about somebody using carpet underneath mulch or gravel to make a pathway, and I have this notion that they said it worked better than landscape fabric, but do you think I can find that thread? noooo.... LOL

I've been working on paths also, using a bunch of lovely big stepping stones I hauled back from a nearby construction site in early spring. I haven't dug in or leveled them yet, nor have I figured out what (if anything) to lay under them... but I figured just getting them approximately in place was a good first step!

You can see some of the pathway rocks in this photo... and please take note of my irises, blooming for the first time this year!!
