FiELDSTONE OR COBBLESTONES can also be used as a walk either sunk in the turf or laid in mortar; but this is not as a rule a comfortable walk unless unusual care has been taken in its construction. (Fig. 35.) CONSTRUCTION OP WALKS The first essential in a garden path or walk is that it be firm and durable. Main walks should not be less than four feet wide. Cement walks. Fig. 32A shows a cross section of a cement walk which is practical and durable. If built on a gravel or sandy soil it probably will not need a foundation of cinders as illustrated, but on heavy soils this is quite necessary. Three to four inches of concrete is laid on the cinders and a one-inch finish coat of cement. Expansion.
