A garden is not complete without paths and walkways.
Paths define a garden as more than a bed of plants and flowers; they provide a sense of a destination, bringing the garden to life.
Walkways let you work in your beds without crushing plants underfoot. They define a garden as formal (straight pathways edged with hedges, trees or uniformly clipped shrubs)... or informal (curving paths meandering through a profusion of flowers).
Suitable materials for walkways are concrete pavers, bluestone, fieldstone, brick and crushed stone.
Walkways come to life when they are designed with color, whether it is the warm red of brick, the smooth blue/grey of bluestone, or the crunchy underfoot texture of peastone and crushed stone.
The benefits of walkways
Even in winter, walkways define garden edges and boundaries.
Crushed stone blends nicely with other stonework in the garden.
Walkways are enticing when lined with fragrant shrubs and flowers.
Remember to place a garden bench around the corner or beyond the curve, letting the walker meander down the path and arrive at a destination.
Long borders in the garden require paths to make them manageable. When you separate your gardens with paths, you can create different color schemes in each.
Walkways are integral to a garden design for children. Their imaginations are inspired by places to hide and paths meandering through trees and fragrant flowers.
Try placing clay pots filled with colorful flowers along your walkways to bring color into non-blooming areas.
