Steps

Plan the Pathway
Outline the desired pathway in your garden using a garden hose or string to mark the edges. Ensure the path is practical and complements the surrounding landscape.
Prepare the Ground
Clear the marked area of any grass, weeds, or debris. Dig out the top layer of soil to a depth of about 2-4 inches, creating a smooth, level surface.
Lay the Tyres
Place the tyres along the pathway, arranging them in the desired pattern. Ensure they are evenly spaced and align with the path’s outline. Partially bury the tyres to keep them stable.
Secure the Tyres
Use stakes or landscape pins to secure the tyres in place if necessary. This step is crucial for preventing movement and ensuring stability.
Fill with Gravel or Mulch
Fill the inner sections of the tyres with gravel, mulch, or your chosen filler material. This provides a stable walking surface and enhances the pathway's appearance.
Finishing Touches
Add any additional decorative elements such as plants or solar lights around the pathway. Clean up the surrounding area to complete the project.
