Hi Folks,

My house is undergoing an addition and my contractor wants to add about 120 sq. feet of concrete pathway to the side of the house. I really don't want to do this. Anybody have any ideas for a more water-permeable pathway that is still easy to navigate for an 86-year old woman who will be using the walkway?  I think gravel is out because the footing is not firm enough for her.

I really don't want to add more to the stormwater runoff situation.

Anyone have any ideas?  Or know of someone I could contact who might be able to offer  consulting services?

Is anyone familiar with a material called "road base"?
