Nobedan Soil Levels
This article by Timothy J. Hanksen reviews an important point about constructing nobedan paths. Many Japanese garden enthusiasts are familiar with Japanese stepping stones, but garden stepping stones are just one of several types of paths that appear in Japanese gardens. Another type is the nobedan path. A nobedan path looks similar to a flagstone sidewalk, but instead of flagstone, nobedan paths employ cobbles and thick granite slabs. This article's advice about soil levels can be applied to other types of masonry walkways, including flagstone patios (if the edge stones are thick enough).
