Default greetings - i'm a newbie :)

howdy folks, just came across this group and looking to meet & share
ideas with like minded landscaping folk.

i just moved from a condo out to the burbs and have a nice sized lot
to cultivate. i work in an office all week and relish the oppertunity
to get out in the yard and work.

the wife has no interest in the yard other than enjoying the fact i'm
happy workign out there. maybe in time she will become interested.

basically i have a typical suburban yard that has been ignored for @
30+ years. a bunch of overgrown trees, shrubs and random patio pavers
scattered about.

so far this year i have been removing shrubs and bushes and trying to
create some areas to build some crushed limestone or pea gravel paths
to get around.

i'm curious if anyone has built any paths like this and any tips/
reccmoendations before i get started.
