Creating a new walkway in your yard is not necessarily a difficult process; skilled and creative people can do it on their own. After all, it can be very satisfying to do such a project in your own terms, as the result will be original and carry your particular style.
The first step is deciding on the materials you want to use in order to create the walkway. You must also decide if the path you choose requires any digging.

A simple but very effective way is to build a walkway paved with stones. But obtaining the natural stones you need is not easy and nor is their transportation. However, you can make faux stones using special molds and concrete. The result will perfectly mimic the natural material. These molds can be interconnected to create a perfect walkway, without discontinuities. For a more beautiful visual effect, you can add different colors to the mortar composition.
If you do not want to use molds, you can turn to other materials lying around your house. For example, you can make gorgeous alleys of old bricks, that you can design in whatever shape you want, or pieces of sandstone and faience, broken or cut in various shapes. It is all up to your imagination and skills.
The next important step is to do some estimates and determine how much materials you need.
So, if you thought you must pay a lot of money to have an original walkway in your yard, think again. You can build it with minimal investment. You only need enough building materials, some kind of a plan as well as motivation and determination.
