OH... my eyes are my level! Yeah for larger areas, a level could be a useful addition. When I make spaces where that sort of thing is critical, I use stakes to set terrain heights and work off the top of the stakes as I go. That way, I can use the level at first, but then not need to keep going back to it to double check as long as the driven stakes are there for reference.

@@PraxisAdventures see I figured you had it figured out

Tamping soil is a very important step i would disagree with you about organic matter tho well packed gravel and sand soil gonna keep stuff in place way longer than roots...in my experience roots tend to move more stuff thatn keep in place

Roots are definitely a double edged sword. I think tree roots can definitely be an issue, but smaller plant roots like clover are a bit more amenable to not F'ing the SH*T out of all one's hard work.

I'm reading your comments in reverse order. So I'm seeing you do this profesh now. Yeah, if I were working for a client, I think I'd do the paths in a better draining crushed stone and gravel mix and then over top with soil. I'd also possibly do deeper footings with concrete, and drive rebar into the base of the stones and set them into the concrete.

I'm of the same opinion with my videos. Longer, hopefully more engaging commentary and insights, instead of "321DONEBYE".🍻

I find that people who take the time to watch videos like this, also tend to leave the most interesting comments are the most interesting with which to converse too.
