Fig. 32.— Showing (in cross section) the construction of four popular kinds of paths and 



walks. Note that in every case coarse stones or cinders are used as a foundation to insure 



good drainage and to prevent the disturbance of the surface by the "heaving" of loam 



or clay soils that often occurs in Winter 



joints should be provided at short intervals to prevent injury from 

 frost. These joints are usually filled with asphalt or sand. For the 

 walk in the garden, cement is hardly recommended as it is too glaring 

 and hard looking. For such a place the informal stepping-stone or 

 brick walk is more desirable. If cement is used it should have a little 

 stain added to the finish coat.
