Your neighbour is a joker & hence "was" a landscaper... When you washed down,all the "mud" that is half holding the path & that was used as a 'butter' will wash away leaving you nothing but stones on shi t... You need a subbase, sand & cement mix 8 -1 with water added but only a small amount to add flexibility, a level, a string level, a trowel oh and errr... Common sense

Ah, that was a pain digging all those holes in the dirt. After, I was done my arms where sore. But, I realized that this turned out to be very nice improvement for my new walkway. But, that help so much. Thanks!

Nice walkway but not the way to do it. First off the stones are all different widths making proper grading a bitch. Paths need 6" of 3/4 down that is compacted in layers every 2" followed by an 1" of sand, that you would then lay these stone or pavers into. Followed by using the plate compactor (sometimes dont have too) to make sure stones/pavers have settled. Then use a polymeric sand to seal and waterproof seems and cracks.

did the sand or black dirt wash away at a later time? or it holding up?
