- It's a common problem that the path around the side of the house becomes a muddy, inconvenient access point. A step stone side path is a great solution that provides easy, clean access to the backyard, while being easy to build DIY.
In this how to video, Jason Hodges takes you through the steps of measuring, excavating, spacing and laying the pavers, and adding the finishing touches such as decorative pebbles or aggregate.
For step stone paths like this, Jason Hodges recommends using Adbri Masonry Euro® Stone pavers;

Thanks again, Jason. Gives me something to work on. I am planning some raised beds, I think stepping stones will be the answer in between beds.
Thank you. I’ll be doing this around my pool and a path around my fence.
Thanks for this great video. I'm planning on building a similar pathway around my place, so your tips and techniques were extremely helpful.
Very satisfying to watch your video
thanks mate such an informative video as always
Great Videos! I lean alot and the they are easy to watch, you have a refreshing personality .)
Hi Jason, this is great! Your technique seems to be practical and yet effective and efficient. I have come across videos where it is weed mat,gravel, sand, then pavers surrounded by stones. Gravel and sand appears to hold the pavers steady for a long time. Id like to use your technique, but just have some questions:
- my soil is a bit clayish. I will probably remove a few centimeters of top soils to level it with the patio it will surround. Would your technique of using cement to hold the pavers for years work on clayish soil?
- how thick should the cement mix be in between the soil and pavers?
- is that really 100mm thickness of stones from the bottom of soil or were you referring to the type of stones with size of 100mm each.
Thanks heaps in advance and with your technique, it looks like it is going to save a whole lot of money and time!
Uv asked all the same ?s I was thinking of, hopefully he will respond😊
❤ love your videos. 👏👏👏
Great video. Thanks 👍👍
going to be doing something like this at home. I only have 6 pavers to lay... hopefully can get small amounts of sand and cement mix.
Poor Carl got his feet marked 😂
We did a path like that and it looks great. My question is, how do you stop the pebbles from being kicked over the pavers?
Hi Sharon, there's not too much you can do about that. We usually find the larger the pavers for the step stones, the less likelihood there is of pebbles being kicked up. Though sweeping a few pebbles off the steppers is a lot easier than sweeping a whole foot path.
Such a great vedio. Thanks a lot! Have a good 2023!!
Top vid! We have exactly same situation
Thanks mate - your videos are informative, easy to follow and fun to watch. Question - I have a concrete walkway, would it be safe to lay out paver stones on the concrete walkway and spread pebbles. That way concrete walkway will completely hide and the paver stone path will look nice.
Hi there,
That's fantastic that you enjoyed it.
If you would like to create a step stone pathway onto an existing concrete slab, this is possible. Please ensure to adhere the paver onto the slab using a concrete mix.
Hi , I've had to add fill to the area I'm going to pave. Do I need to wack the fresh dirt down before I lay the pavers. Cheers
If you've had to add dirt to the area to make it level, it's not a bad idea to wack down the dirt. But if you excavated down to level, the dirt should be compacted enough.
@@AdbriMasonryAus thanks Jason
Thanks mate , Can we use quick Builders quick set concrete ?
For steppingstone pathways, you could use a quick dry ready mix. However, you would need to mix what you need for each individual paver as you go or run the risk of it drying before you’ve laid the whole path.
How many bags of cement and cubic meters of sand did this job use?
Great Video! Very helpful. Thank you Jason. Can I know why you did not use any gravel base in the project?
Hi there, thank you for your question.
For a stepping stone pathway there is no need to put down a compacted sand base. A cement and sand mix combined with water is enough to hold down a paver as a stepping stone.
Please feel free to contact adbrimarketing@adbri.com.au if you have any other questions.
@@AdbriMasonryAus I just put down a 10-15cm depth of road base grrrr
this project:
........... no need tampering, screeding;
---------- no need fabric/weed control mat;
........... no need gravel base/paver sand base/dust base/road base;
........... cost effectiveness, save time and money (unless it is a full paver patio for instance)😄
Hi there, I'm looking to do a stepping stone path around my new build. The area is sandy. Do I need any road base or gravel for installing on sand or just level the area out?
Hi there, would you be able to email photos of the sand area to adbrimarketing@adbri.com.au . We would like to ensure we provide accurate information for your future step stone pathway :)
@@AdbriMasonryAus email on the way
@@MrMadstylex Thank you! Just letting you know we haven't received anything yet. If you have sent the email, ensure the email is under 10MB, otherwise it will not send to our email. Feel free to send separate emails if need be :)
Damn that guy shoes
Quetion: How come he doesn't lay any roadbase? Is it because he uses cement under the steppers?

Hi Mate, very useful video. Quick question, is the sand and cement good enough for the base on clay soil?
Hi there,
Thank you! Yes the sand and cement will still work. Clay can move with damp and dry conditions, but it shouldn't move too much for a step stone path.
@@AdbriMasonryAus thanks mate
Is there a video show how to adding paver n rock along driveway??? Please help
Hi there, We have a few questions to ensure we can provide you with the best information. Would the pavers be used as part of the driveway or purely as a path along the side of the driveway. Did you have a product of our in mind?
@@AdbriMasonryAus as the path along the side of the driveway… I plan to put gray concrete patio stone n pond pebbles.. and my driveway is kinna little bit up the hill but not high .. my house 2 story with basement…
@@Xx_eeveemocha_xX This video shows you how to build a stepping stone path, which you could do alongside your driveway too.
Or here are a few other links to help.

sprayed Karl's leg on that last one lol
Is the sand mixed with the cement paver sand?
Hi Gaelin, simply sand mixed with regular cement.
Thank you!!
Can i use a ready mix cement and sand? Like the quick drying ones for cracks? Or use a tile adhesive instead?
Hi Manuela,
For steppingstone pathways, you could use a quick dry ready mix. However, you would need to mix what you need for each individual paver as you go or run the risk of it drying before you’ve laid the whole path - as you stated above, the quick dry ready mix is primarily made for cracks.
The use of tile adhesive is highly not recommended. It is also costly compared to a sand and cement mix.
Please feel free to email adbrimarketing@adbri.com.au if you have any other questions.
Kind regards,

Poor Carl 🤣🤣🤣 Had his time to let his personality shine but blew it!
ماشاء الله تبارك الرحمن 🌹❤️💐💐
You painted poor Carl's Blundstones
Those shoes still have paint on them, ha ha
I hope he bought him some shoes after that.
You know, Karl still has those shoes and they still have blue paint on them :-)
