    Concrete slabs on a concrete path should be fine.
    What you may (or may not) need to fiddle with is if water from the butt will fall neatly into your watering can. If not you can just get a half width slab to stand the can on. That should stop any chance of tripping on it as you walk the path.

    I've found watering can spouts fit neatly behind a downpipe and if firmly done won't blow around if a wind gets up during the night.

    OH has fitted a short piece of hose pipe to the spout so we tuck the can under the pipe to fill it.

    We also leave water in the cans so they don't blow around. They also act as extra water storage.
