      I want to take on a DIY project for my garden and was wondering how challenging it is to install interlocking walkway stones myself. I’ve done small landscaping projects before, but never something this big. Should I hire professionals or is it manageable with the right tools?

        It’s possible to do it yourself, but the preparation work like grading and leveling is crucial. Hiring pros guarantees longevity, though.

          I considered going the DIY route, but after seeing the amount of prep work needed, I decided to let professionals handle it. Installing interlocking requires more than just laying down stones; you need a solid base, proper leveling, and attention to drainage. I came across https://oakshs.ca/walkway-interlocking/, which helped me understand why professional installation makes such a difference. The team I hired ensured the walkway wouldn’t shift or sink over time, which can easily happen if the base isn’t compacted properly. It’s not just about placing the pavers but making sure they stay in place year after year. While DIY can save some money, I wanted the peace of mind that the project would last. Seeing how flawless the finish turned out, I don’t regret hiring experts one bit.
