Garden path ideas provide practical access to areas of your backyard, while also offering design aesthetics to complement your home and style.
There are many ways to create these defined ribbons and links around your garden as part of your garden ideas, whether they are to offer scenic rambles through plantings or essential access ways to productive or functional areas.
Garden path ideas are a great way to define and separate areas of your garden and encourage visits to the furthest corners.
Consider the purpose of the path, the surfaces you prefer and which are good for the environment, the shapes that would suit your garden design – whether curved or straight – and that will work in harmony with the landscape.
The right garden path idea can make all the difference to how to eye perceives a narrow garden, and there are many different layouts and styles to choose,
whether it is a path to your front door as a front garden idea, or a more subtle walkway meandering through a profusion of blooms in a wildlife garden.
Look to the colors already in your garden and the architecture of your house to guide your tones of hard landscaping materials and plant palette choices – whether complementing or contrasting.
