We have a pathway on the side of our house that is about 4’ wide and 30’ long. We live in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States and the orientation in the picture is from Northeast to Southwest. The soil is loamy sand. It is a high-traffic area, mostly used by my kids (you can see that a bike tread has worn a puddle into the dirt), but utility workers also need access to it. The area is constantly wet from air conditioner drainage, and water drains through there from the backyard when it rains. Due to the constant traffic and heavy water, grass doesn’t stay for long. I think it needs some sort of path that would help make conditions less slippery for the people who walk here. Would a solution be as simple as just throwing down a bunch of stepping stones, or would that cause problems with the water drainage? At present, I’m interested in hearing all ideas regardless of budget or skill level. More on reddit.com

This section looks pretty level already so that’s great. I’ve seen this type of gravel and stone walkways become really popular recently. And they take like a weekend to finish. walkway More on reddit.com

Do you want to be able to roll anything up the hill? Like a wheelbarrow? If so, you may want to reconsider the stair treads idea. Also...do you have a downspout that empties near the top of the hill? If you do, your best first step might be burying corrugated pipe and having it empty near the bottom of the hill. That alone might solve a lot of your washout issues so you could just stick with grass. More on reddit.com
