Creating the Pathway to the Patio | Gardening with Creekside

Now that the main section of the patio is complete we are turning our attention to the surrounding areas including creating the pathway to the patio from our driveway. We are using flagstone and decorative gravel to fill in this five-foot-wide path. Join Jerry & me as we spend a Friday afternoon getting this fun project started!

Jenny and Jerry, you sure got a lot accomplished in a couple of days besides putting in a full day at the nursery! 🔨 💪 Very impressive, and the patio area is looking beautiful! I love how well you two work together, and you're setting a great example for your kids.~Margie

[@bryonyhellis]

What a huge project, I underestimated just how big this was going to be! It’s fabulous and I’m really enjoying the updates

[@claytoncomeaux414]

So much patience and perseverance shown in your videos. Much respect to yall.

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Thank you 😊

[@dorriw]

Jerry is such a hard worker. You make an awesome team. It all looks beautiful!

[@lauralmills]

I am very impressed...with your patience with each other, with your perseverance, vision, and with how it’s all coming together. Inspirational! Can’t wait to see the finished product!

[@Edu_Kate]

You probably couldn't hear me, but I was telling you to go with another pallet of stone. 😁 I was pleased when you decided to go that route. You will not regret it. Less weeds. (Trust me, I have personal experience and regrets.) Plus, the extra time allows you to make any adjustments or move the stones in the most pleasing way. I always like seeing a large stone at the start/end of a path. I am liking what I see. Compliments to Christine on the editing. Sped up in just the right spots.

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Thank you! The extra fast hammer cracked me up 🤣

[@nickles4652]

The two of you are the hardest working pair on KZbin! Physical work all day at your daytime jobs. Then you take on this massive do it yourself project in your down time... wow! Impressive! Thank you for taking us along in your journey! ❤🇨🇦

[@turtleladie8274]

Looks awesome! Love Jerry he's so calm and a hard worker!

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

98% of the time yes, but trust me - he can be spicy 😉😂

[@turtleladie8274]

@@GardeningwithCreekside 🤣🤣🤣 he can be spicy so funny

[@graylonwashington2714]

This is all going to be so beautiful in the end! I totally second the choice to go with more Flagstones, there just so pretty and unique!

[@tlovesgreens8244]

Looking Awesome!! You guys are a great couple. God bless.

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Thank you so much 💕

[@marilynbaldwin2934]

Jenny and Jerry you are the best this has been amazing to watch! So exciting I just sit and smile everytime I watch!

[@maryferraro6745]

Really appreciate seeing the what the effort is on a project like this and the real world situation of running out of materials- makes me feel better that it’s not just me! Looking great. By the way, received my order and promptly planted. Excited to see how the caladiums do.

[@lizmerritt2148]

Wow looks great! So excited to see it finished. Thanks for including us!

[@gigizaino8805]

My hat off to you both! This added a whole different level of respect for the 2 of you ! It all looks beautiful

[@annadavis6361]

Lmbo at Jerry looking at Jenny hammering the stack! We know what your thinking Jerry, 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@barbaracartwright3007]

Could you try to keep the volume of music more in line with the talking. We're constantly having to adjust it.

[@pharmgirl1955]

What a great gathering place this will be for your friends and family. If I were one of your daughters I would be planning my wedding reception for this spot(I know they are a bit too young yet).

[@mattd4070]

It's coming together! That unique stone container in the driveway (I'm assuming beside garage door) is beautiful, I couldn't stop staring at it! Amazing how 1 plant in the right container can make such an impact!

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Great eye! It is a Unique Stone piece with only 1 Supertunia Bubblegum in it 💗

[@MisBunnypics]

Your project is looking fantastic. I love the colors of all the stone and the arch on the path. It's going to be spectacular when finished. I can't wait to see your first BBQ on it!

[@marythomson3229]

It’s so interesting (and exhausting) to see how this is done. Thank you for taking us in our journey. 👍

[@nikkid6395]

I'm in TX ya'll and I like a natural looking landscape too. When we dug our flowerbed we found same color rocks as your Flagstone. We set them into our flowerbed for a little extra umph. Looking great over there!

[@langelatallent5460]

Y'all are so great together 😊!!! I love my husband dearly, but if we try to do projects together it is a constant battle!!! It is so sweet to watch Y'all work together ❤!!! Jenny I just love your husband, he's a gorgeous hunk of man!!!

[@christycoalson36]

You two are just a breath of fresh air. I love watching y'all work together 😊💕 this project is looking awesome. Love from Rowan co 🌺💮🏵️🌼💞

[@kassieb89]

Watching jerry whip around in that equipment made me so nervous! He’s clearly been doing this awhile, and has complete control of what he’s doing with that machine.

[@jeriyoung6166]

WOW!!! It looks amazing, lots and lots of hard work from both of you. Love to see the team work:) I’m sure you can’t to see it done, as all of us watching, Thanks for sharing your “life” with us. 🌺🌸🌼🌺

[@sharondvorak6914]

We installed a flagstone walkway just as you are doing 16 years ago. We used plastic edging with long pins. Our edging started rising out of the ground, and was catching on the mower, etc. We just finished removing it. What hard work! I think the metal edging may work better for you. The plastic ? Well.......

[@juliedorey5254]

Hammering those nails is a workout, poor Jerry won't be able to lift his coffee cup 😂

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

😂😂😂

[@freethinkish]

May I suggest a 3 lb sledgehammer next time you have to drive stakes like that. You folks are amazing. You do so many different things and you do them so well.

[@dianeasberry7928]

It's looking so nice, can't wait to see the finished garden. I'm also interested in how you get rid of the grass. No easy feat in Texas with Bermudagrass, bindweed then dealing with our gumbo clay.

[@Braedenfish]

Lowes sells a "splicing stake" made by Col-Met to to keep edging in place where there is no notch. Its made to hold cut edges, but also nice on curves. I use metal edging for circular planting beds under large trees on a slope.

[@dianem7771]

It's all coming together beautifully. Love all the updates. Hope you enjoyed your nachos and got some much needed rest.

[@elmaelmar2761]

This is looking so good and what a great team your two are!! My back hurts just from watching you!!!💕💕

[@fayemartin465]

i enjoyed watching this video so much its worth watching and i learn stuff to

[@Ed-jg3ud]

One word: sledge hammer:)

[@allysonh6410]

What if you can hardly lift a regular hammer.

[@peterwhite9261]

So glad you guys didn't spread out the sandstone slate. It looks great.Look forward to the finished project. PS any time you want to rent out Jerry for gardening needs only I would be a taker. Just kidding, you both are so cute together and I am so happy for you and your family. When your daughter weds can she walk down that path in heels ? Doesn't matter heels or no ,by the time she decides to marry that walkway will be a fairy garden. Love your shows. Don't mind me with the teasing comments. I am happily married with 2 granddaughters born during Covid and I am a nurse now on Long Term Disability. Today was a good day container gardening and spring clean up. I take the good days and bad days as genuine gifts. Stay safe.

[@aileenc7390]

The look in Jerry's face watching you hammer 🔨 in the edging was hysterical! That's the same look my husband gives me when we work together ❤ 🙃

[@michellepollino4986]

The patio is looking great. Can’t wait to see it all done.

[@LetsGardenYall]

The husband and I driving 🚎 💨 back to NC from Austin, TX & I’m enjoying binge watching this weeks video’s while the hubs is driving. Keeping me inspired, entertained, & motivated to get in the garden as soon as we get 🏡 home 🥰

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

That is awesome!

[@fabricandflowers83]

We just put down 800sqft of flagstone for a patio.

[@donnaswells3939]

You really remind me of my husband and I. You work great together. We built our home 26 yrs ago nail by nail 😁still standing. Now we are gardening together. I really like your KZbin channel. Thank you for sharing.

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Thank you for watching ♥️

[@christophertaylor9826]

You and Jerry make a great team, love watching your videos.

[@lincasteel-butler531]

Huge movement, great job.

I’ve enjoyed these videos!!

[@fabioleonhardt]

Hum cuide 🥵 trabalho cansado.. difícil. Fácil.. Pois cerveja 🍺🍺 ufam...

[@nancypatterson374]

I had to stop and do errands and just finished watching the entire video. You and Jerry are always amazing me with your patience and how much you accomplish together. Everything looks beautiful, can’t wait to see the finished product! ❤️🌼🌻🌸

[@GrannyCompton]

So excited to here y'all will get more flagstone - from the camera angle it looked a little stretched, especially in this ladies view for my short leg length and it is bringing such excitement for y'all. Jerry is an extremely amiable man, I was laughing at your comment to move this one to the arbor, . . . oh turn it over :) Lovely couple humor. Y'all are a testament to watch and learn from. Thanks for sharing this project with us. Oh and that comment about being country folk, nothing pretentious - I appreciate that too, y'all keep the project realistic to all of us other 'country folk'.

[@tinachristensen4008]

Been there. Done that. My backyard project last year, trying to work around tree roots is just as fun. Jerry makes it look easy pounding those stakes in. I still have 6 more to pound in this year. Ugh

[@TheEnthusiasticGardener]

The flagstones are such a beautiful colour when they’re wet. What a great job you’re both doing, this is so exciting 😊

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Thank you!

[@MaximilianImaging]

Question: Can you create a gravel pathway just using heavy duty landscape or silage tarp instead of removing the sod? I am currently in the middle of my pathway project and not sure what to do.

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

I LOVE the urn and plinth next to the building-lol!🙄 I have to remember to CHECK the words before I send them, for whatever reason, they don’t always come out right!

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

It’s going to be absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Lo be e the urn and plinth next to the building, the pink flowers are perfect in that!!!

[@karenhart4316]

Hi Jenny , love the colours that come out in the stones and rock just love 💕 it 🥰looks amazing great job you guys great design 🙌thank you for sharing your amazing ideas 👌🧤👒🐨🦘🇦🇺🧚🤩

[@lynlijalysbalderdottir4563]

Dang girl! Can you and Jerry just come a design my 5.25 acres. That way I know it’ll be beautiful. I’m loving what you two are doing.

[@miller4hats]

My Supertunias came today!! So happy!! My daughter loves hers too!! Thank you!!

[@digsindirt4490]

Wow... it’s really coming along. My wrists hurt watching you hammer the stakes. LOL. (I was able to use a small block of wood to help drive in mine. It took some of the shock out of the impact.)

[@DixieGirl9876]

Looking good! No DIY is ever easy but worth it. My Dad would say you hammer like a woodpecker. lol When we built our house he was constantly saying that to me (He could seat a nail in two strikes with a hammer, of course it's not the same as hammering into rocky ground). Thanks for sharing!

[@judymiddleswart9350]

Your DIY projects so very helpful!! Love this look!

[@marykuhn7510]

I just wanted to share an idea with you that I did on my walkway. In the gravels I added 22'ooo marbles with a turned over pot that contains marbles spilling out in the path way. Mary Kuhn.

[@laurad3145]

These videos drive me a little nuts b/c they show all the work (a little dull to watch!) and then don't give a tour at the end, which to me is the most interesting part. I'd much rather watch a long tour video than a long work video. Maybe that's just me but I always end up fast forwarding to the end of these and then feeling disappointed that there's really not a tour of the completed work!

[@robertwagner1079]

I like it ....What a difference...WOW...she did this all her self? AMAZING..

[@bettyecarnahan5274]

Wouldn't those large rocks make an unstable walking surface? I'm totally dumb about things like that but I think I'd twist an ankle first thing off the bat.

[@carolrose4784]

Geez I’m so tired after watching you both work. Glad to see the proper way to make a gorgeous pathway. Thanks for showing this!

[@debramoore7049]

Hey Jenny Phenix city Al is loveing you girl I really need this video for my up coming idea my fiance is thanking you for much love thank you use

[@randy1817]

Nice job so far. One day at a time. Looking good! keep up the good work and enjoy the Summer!!

[@888-m2m]

Is there anyway you could link the two different edging below? Thanks!

[@dreamasue]

It’s going to beautiful with the hydrangeas! I can’t wait

[@doreen7554]

Looks amazing! Could that plastic edging be used to separate grass from a mulched bed?

[@joannford5860]

Nice job but it will be awesome when finished. Are you going to use white or red rock with your slate path way.?

[@robertbaker9775]

Wow, you two are a dynamic duo! Your work ethic is impeccable, and it is bound to have lifelong positive effect on your children. Major kudos to you both. I just adore your channel and everything you do. You've sold me on Proven Winners!! It's a good thing you aren't closer to Houston, Texas because I would live at your nursery! Thank you, Jenny and Jerry, for sharing your love for the Lord, your sweet family, and for gardening with your many KZbin fans! 💚💚 Linda

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

You are so very kind! Thank you 💕

[@sandramulchahey8268]

We have some metal edging that the previous owners put in, it does its job keeping the mulch in however I have tripped over it and twisted my ankle several times.

[@lauradaniel7596]

Once I got my initial stakes in place correctly, I used a metal ground tapper and they the stakes went down fast.

[@lisawalters5482]

Looking good! Woo hoo. Have a great rest of the week. 👏🏻💕👏🏻

[@sherrygreen1063]

Looks great. Are you going to put rope lights down each side of the walkway?

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

I had a feeling watching the beginning of the placing that you might not have enough....

[@zeniazenia2787]

Looks really nice with the river stones next to pea stone snd the large field stone.

[@marybethlaratta7242]

What happens if you want to plant in the rock on the edge

🦋You have a beautiful property and you two are the “dream team”. The new walkway will be another gorgeous highlight. Looking forward to seeing it completed and planted! Happy weekend everyone 👒💚💛🥰

Hi Jenny, I just cracked up when Jerry finally flip the rock over and you laughed and said good times, good times. I have a hubby too. Lol, lol

[@tracyoconnor-mcgraw4952]

You are an inspiration to what we want to do around our pool !! Fantastic job ! #partnersinlife ♥️🌻

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Yay!!!!

[@nicolegreenough961]

A couple of questions cuz I would like to learn all I can about doing this yourself: would you recommend having the metal edging over the rubber or plastic? Won’t it rust faster in the south? Also your compactor is great to use with the base you put down but you said using landscape fabric is an alternative. Does that mean you don’t have to use a compactor if you use the landscape fabric?

[@tcondrey]

A lot of hard work, but sooooo worth it. It’s beautiful. Great video!!! Thank you for sharing. 🧡💜🧡

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Oh wow absolutely gorgeous 🥰 I am so looking forward to seeing this project completely done so you can all enjoy it and laugh about it all in the end, it’s going to be so beautiful and rewarding for you all for many years and generations to come xx 🪴🌺🪴

Did y’all make a video when you finished up the project?
