Garden paths have the power to transform your outdoor space. They break your
garden into zones, direct your experience through them, and – in the case of front garden paths – give visitors a first impression of your home.
When planning outdoor pathways, it’s important to take time to decide what look and material will work best for your space. Some materials, like gravel or wood chip, are relatively easy to install, while bricks and tiles are normally best laid by professionals. Make sure your chosen material is in-keeping with the style of your property and garden.
The shape of your garden path will also set the tone: straight paths are more formal, so can work well in a front garden or kitchen garden, whereas curved paths have a more informal, cottage garden feel and create a sense of intrigue.
Finally, consider the impact of planting and lighting. Topiary or borders can enhance and shape a garden path, while solar-powered lighting or LED candles will ensure your path looks magical as the light draws in and illuminate people’s way.
