Pathways 

A good  stabilizer "green" product is Road Oyl.  Pine pitch mixed with
primarily local soils. Hardens like concrete looks like dirt.  The
availability of experienced contractors the only difficult issue. Has been
used in the NE'.  Google  ---- Road Oyl

Gravel paths (Deane Rykerson)

Dear Deane, 

We are cautious in the use of the Polymer which in our experience tends to
soften seasonally when wet or sometimes even just damp.  Grading and
drainage need to be nearly perfect!

We might have more to say relative to a specific question. 413 628 4600

 No sliced bread out there and one of  the toughest problems we landscape
architects face.  The gavel paths in Europe are often great.  They spend
dollars, do build up of graded gravels several layers to get the result.  It
ends up the same or greater cost than hard paving to have it done correctly
but you do get the effect you wish and it lasts. 

Look into Norlite (expanded Shale) as a granular base material even for
stabilized lawn. Tends to work well under limited/occasional use conditions.

Does anyone have experience with crushed stone ADA compliant paths?   
Has anyone used enviroseal- a polymer stabilizer that sounds better  
than sliced bread?

Regarding gravel paths:
Any idea what Colonial Williamsburg uses?  Different climate and all, but
their paths seem to withstand continuous use, water, freeze/thaw....of
course, they have a great team of groundskeepers...
Have personally seen wheelchairs use the paths, with no sticking problems,
etc.

In response to your inquiry, the Town of Arlington has been using, not 
gravel, but a substance composed of sand & some mystery component over a 
plastic water barrier, for paths in two of the parks recently restored. 
>From my observation, the paths seem to have survived the winter intact.  In

both cases they are adjacent to ponds, so must be OK in terms of water 
issues.  If this is of interest, I can try to find out who would know 
exactly what this stuff is.
