side of house/next to driveway -- path for walking

[Great-Kazoo]

Howdy.

I have an pet peeve with the side of the house/next to the driveway: it's river rock on a slight grade. I cannot keep the dang stuff uphill, especially when I am wheeling the garbage/recycling bins in and out. They push the rock down, and then it exposes the weed guard stuff.

I would like to make a path, probably with pavers, which would involve moving the rock. Key is that it cannot change the grade, per the Nazi party (HOA/Covenant) rules. My main worry is that if I don't somehow secure the pavers, when the ground is wet, they will "slide" on the resulting mud. Cannot pour concrete.

recap:

* Cannot change grade
* Should not move on ground when wet
* Cannot be concrete based solution

Any tips on particular types of pavers, method, other potential solutions I might not have thought of?

Attached to post is a pic of the current situation.

Thanks!

I'd check to see what is allowed by HOA regs before doing anything. I'd also drive the neighborhood to see what others have, this way If there's an issue you have other homes in the HOA to point to.

Yeah, no plans to beg for forgiveness. Will definitely be running it by the Hugo Boss wearing Design Committee for Community Excellence.

I like the idea of seeing what others might have done, as it will give me ammo for something to be approved. They were cool about the Liberty Home security/storm doors on front and back, so I doubt this will be a problem.

You needed an OK from some entity before you could change your entry doors out? No wonder homes in Non HOA, Covenant controlled areas bring more, resale wise.
