Well I made for you a shoe box!

[@alexander1982miller]

Im going to find you.

[@musicbycandlelightmbc3225]

When you got money to burn, it's perfect, simple, and easy...lol. But really, you did a great job, I absolutely love out of the box and no rules thinking as it pulls more on one's resourceful creativity and the challenge to bring it all together nicely as you have done here. With solar lamp lighting all the way down its path for night use, I imagine it would be gorgeous and maybe even romantic. I wonder if you are an Aries like me when waiting for something will just not do...lol.

[@sandorpecsora2434]

For my eyes this walkway fits in the nature much better with the curves, than a really square/level concrete solution. Great job!

I agree, such a beautiful rocky spot. Totally fits in as best as you could want…

Another way, rather than handrails might be a footboard along the side of the walkway. If it’s tall enough, maybe 6”, it would keep the wheels on track and save you all those stiles and handrails.

[@patwicker1358]

I like the irregular shape, it gives the path character and fits in with the surrounding landscape.

Honestly, wow. I just want to point out how well you have used your words while narrating your work. I feel like I’ve learnt so much. Thank you for being so bad ass at what you do! Cheers pal

[@NativeNYerChicHK]

Traditional methods are your foundation to know what you can and can’t do outside of those perimeters. It gives you boundaries and reasons for them, which then allows you to understand how you can push those boundaries for your own particular reasons and still be successful. I don’t know if I’m explaining that right. But I’ve done loads of projects for indoor renovations and have had to tweak to suit my situation. Without an understanding of the rules and standards I wouldn’t have known how to safely make the changes I needed to for my own individual purposes. Also I LOVE how this turned out! Really really beautiful!

[@SawdustmakerLori]

LOVE how everything turned out!!! The sweeping curves make it much more beautiful than a straight walkway. Another great job April!

[@toadamine]

id drive a metal stake into the ground and attach it to one of the crossmembers to keep the whole thing from shifting off of the pads when it expands and contracts in wet and dry weatherr. you could still add them iff needed, just pop off a tread board where a crossmember is, drive in a stake, attach it to the crossmember and reinstall the tread.

“Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist” attributed to Pablo Picasso, and exemplified by April Wilkerson

[@aligned4good]

That why I like her!

[@tjjoseph333]

Never heard that he said this. Wonderful!

[@Bible.Thumper]

Not aware Picasso said that, but have always believed so. The balance between a master-technician and what I call “higher octave creative” or creator can only be found with a great technician or master of his or her art who can let go of the mind chatter of training on what an artist SHOULD and shouldn’t DO. Perfection being the absolute balance of the technical and creative; like the exact center point, but “poetic.” Pool sharks call it “the shit,” and basketball players call it “the zone,” I was told. Add it’s when a brain scan records an entire brain lighting up, like homeostasis, but not, and like “operating on all cylinders.” 😂 Not everyone knows to hold out for it and not everyone recognizes it when it happens. Such a loss to the world. Sometimes exploring what makes the best art is an art in itself? 😂 Anyway, April W gets it.

[@MsCmsh]

Well said, @R. Craig Collins!! Rules are rules, but humans are not supposed to act like robots!! Great job April!! 👏👏😃

This is exactly what my wife wanted me to do. I am laying down gravel from my house foundation out about 14 feet ending with brown presure treated 2x4's partially in the ground. It looks good with 3/4 Shasta grant ending at a dark brown edging. But she tossing in a walk way that meanders through several cedar pine trees, we live in the mountains, while I was working on the rock I was trying to figure out how to build what she wanted. I was thinking in standard ways of making a deck, she wanted nothing like it. My wife wanted what you made, but I hadn't seen your video yet. Thank god I found you! Ha ha. My nieghbor gave me a large amount of old painted redwood deck boards, what a treasure, once I removed the paint and ran the boards through a planer I got gorgeous boards. This will be the deck boards. Any way thanks for your unconventional building deck it's exactly what the wife ordered.

Loved this project. I've got 78 acres, most of which are set up for wildlife. I've dedicated a few acres for gardens that I'm putting in now with bright sun, full shade and in between. Your project looks perfect for winding pathways which will make for much better footing. I think I'll add some extra boxes along the path for 2 chairs and a table for sitting and looking at the plantings. Thank you so much for this inspiration.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Awesome! That sounds great. Thanks for Sharing and for watching.

[@BoomerKeith1]

Love the end result! When you're working with such uneven ground you have to adapt and you did a great job! I hope we get to see the landscaping!

[@jimberryman185]

When I was a kid, I would spend weekends and my grandparents farm. It was just a little house, and they had a wooden sidewalk from the house to the driveway. Ofcourse it was in the 1970's and I don't even know if their was such thing as treated wood or galvanized nails at the time, just old barnwood, and whatever nails he had, but I always loved the look🤗 Thankyou for bringing back some happy memories of my Grandparents ❤

[@kiimbathewhitelion]

Thank you for this video!!! I’ve been tearing my hair out trying to figure out how to make my back yard look decent for years. I have a small yard with 2 big oak trees that have cracked and lifted a path & left large exposed roots in the rock hard soil. I think your idea may be the fix to my problems. I thought a level ground was a must. So excited, thank you! And I love this is done by a woman. I love my diy too :)

[@AprilWilkerson]

Glad it was helpful!

[@AlbertLukaszewski]

Beautiful work!! The one thing that stuck out for me at the end, however, is that I don't think you mentioned applying sealant to the pressure treated wood after cutting it. Once cut, pressure treated wood is (usually) as susceptible to the elements as other non-treated woods. One should always be sure to seal it after cutting it. Thanks for posting this, though, as it's given me lots of ideas to work from for my back green.

[@toveral1]

Thanks for the reminder

[@paulined5710]

I was wondering how long treated wood will last when used in this capacity. Would staining it extend the life?

[@reneesuzettes3713]

Great video! I love your thought process and easy, time saving objectives without sacrificing quality and aesthetic beauty! As a woman, I sometimes think men over-engineer things, women tend to have a "work smarter, not harder" approach.

My Goodness! I’ve just bought a little island that is like a forrest on rocks, and I wanted to find a way to build a something like this to be able to go all around without stepping on plants, and avoiding any possible ticks (and Lyme disease), but I just couldn’t find a way, and you just showed me, even better you being also a woman! The only problem for me is going to be getting the material on to the island, as we only use very small boats, but I will find the way! I appreciate you sharing with us your knowledge and skills from the bottom of my heart!

Square is mostly necessary, yet not always necessary. It just depends on the project. In this particular case, the only thing that needed to be square if you will, was the vertical which you achieved by leveling the frames left and right. Great project April.

[@toveral1]

Great idea

Love the natural ebb and flow of the walkway is very organic and looks like it was very intentional to not to disturb the nature around it. Am learning while building projects around my home and am looking forward to learning more from you.

I need to build an over the landscape walkway which needs to be bare feet friendly. Thank you for showing your walkway build. The one you built looks exactly like what I need to build. I’m so glad you demonstrated your build. Thank you and happy 4th of July!

[@lucasjw]

Just beware of Trex in the sun because it can get VERY hot. Our previous deck was definitely not bare foot friendly with a similar color Trex as in this video. Either another material is needed, possibly the lightest color of Trex (our new deck seems good so far), or you have to make sure it’s shaded.

Cinder blocks vs treated woods will give me a long lasting assurance for longevity. Added elevation for a floating deck height while giving extra protection to the woods.

This looks wonderful and thank you for the fresh reminder that things don't always need to be done a certain way. Out of the box thinking and this really paid off.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Awesome! Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching.

[@jeffforbes3772]

Extremely cool! I have a wooden walkway that is going to be demolished and I've been researching different ways to replace it. This looks so much easier than digging out, leveling and setting pier blocks. I had thought about using boxes like you did and now I definitely will. Mine ill be easier as it is a straight shot of about 60 feet. Yours looks great! Thanks for posting.

[@jamjar5716]

Easier sure. But put in a wiggle or two for interest!

[@ramdam974]

It looks easier like you said but in my opinion it is the big flaw here. 4 or 5 storms later her walkway will be floating in the air, causing cracking noise and eventually damaging the structure just by people walking on it. You have to at least partially bury in the ground the leveling blocks unless it never rains where you're from.

[@southernblueblood5402]

You're awesome, this project broke all the rules but came out perfect for what you wanted. Your are a beauty and a beast, the way you split the pavers and busted up the rock with the sledge hammer, you are an inspiration to follow.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Thanks! Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching.

[@endall39]

This is a really clever concept. My only concern is that, although treated, the structural lumber will not last as long as the composite treads. I've built planters out of pressure treated lumber and seen them rot within 2-3 years. I'd avoid actual ground contact with any of that wood.

[@mrcwoodworks4523]

They rotted because they are in direct contact with moisture

[@JayDee-xj9lu]

My concern if I built it here in Australia is white ants, termites would eat it within a year. Nice job though.

[@dominiclavu193]

Awesome! Great work! I was going to pay someone to pour a concrete walkway (partially disabled after a stroke). But after seeing your video I am going to see if my wife wants to tackle a similar project. Thanks and kudos to you!

[@meredithtaylor5911]

This is absolutely beautiful work. I’d love to do something similar on our lakefront property, but I live in Northeast. With the ground freeze/thaw, I think we need deep footings to keep the path in place.

[@brucediducca6018]

I wondered the same thing myself, I don't know if she is in a freeze zone. Footings would add quite a bit of labor to the project

[@TheWestlandgirl]

[@lovedone303]

Im in a wheelchair and its really hard for me to go to out door events because most places door keep in mind not everyone walks we have a area like the one you recently built could you show or do a simple safe steardy wheelchair ramp onto your out door grill area if anything to show how simple it could be know its not needed but i think it could be handy to do and see

[@DavyHulme]

I second that request, many public event spaces do not put enough thought into accessibility issues, if any.

[@royreynolds108]

To make the area assessable to wheelchairs, I would attach the box to the deck so the walking surface will be flush, keep adjusting the height to slowly lower the height close to ground level and then make a transition from the ground to the walkway surface to be able to get a wheelchair across it. You can't use washed gravel or sand for wheelchair paths because the wheels will sink into the stuff; use 3/8 to dust crusher run smoothed and tamped into place and it will set up just fine.

[@Mixdplate]

[@skysoldier31]

Remember, composite and glass railings should never be in direct sunlight. They get way too hot in the sun. Not to mention the static electricity that accumulates on the composite. I have experienced this on a two million dollar house that was wrapped in back with an uncovered glass railing on composite decking. What an absolute nightmare. It was pretty. Pretty useless unless the day was overcast. Not to mention the composite reflects sunlight as well as it absorbs it, so the entire deck was absolutely blinding and scorching.

Love it. I will add that since the boards are only treated against pests, they won’t be water rot resistant. Painting them with bitumen will hide them more and make them waterproof for very little cost. Every post or wood I put in or near the ground gets bitumen painted…it just can’t be glued to.
