I am planning a natural stone walkway from stones I have picked. They range from 1" to 6" thick. I hope to split some of the thicker ones in half but will use a few for steps up to my porch. My ground is pretty saturated all year long and the existing dirt path turns to thick boot sticking muck during snow melt. I have pulled all sorts of stuff out that has worked its way to the surface. (2 driveshafts,exhaust parts, breathers,garden fencing,chunks of cedar poles)you get the idea. mostly clay subsoil. Was wondering if I should put geotextile down or not. sand or stone dust? The debate rages online. Anyone have any insight?
