Creating beautiful garden paths is one of the key elements of the landscape. It gives your garden a new, stylish look, combines the different areas there and helps you achieve an overall ensemble. The type and number of garden walkways depend on the size of the property, the garden landscape and the design style of the garden and the furnishing style of the house.
DieFootpaths in the gardencan be clearly defined or lost somewhere in the grass, often limited by curbs or flowers. In general, garden paths can be divided into two large groups - they run straight, like a string from one point to another, and they wind freely, winding, despite any planning and systematization. There is also a third type, called “Roman Way: Stage by Stage”, which can be assigned to the second group.
Garden paths in particular give your outdoor area a classic look. Such a path surrounds the house, it starts at the yard gate and leads to the garage or outbuilding. Such ideas are always aimed at one goal. In geometric gardens, where paths dominate, they divide the yard into zones, for example the zone for the ornamental fountain or theFire pit design, to the pavilion or it creates informal areas for relaxation. Where everything has a rectangular or square shape, the green areas, flower beds, the fountain, the straight garden footpaths are in the right place. In the geometric “French” garden, these paths tend to follow the principle of symmetry. The straight versions are preferred in public parks where there are many visitors every day. Straight paths are usually covered with tiles of the correct shape. Square or rectangular slabs made of natural or artificial stone, cement or granite slabs are best suited. Rigorous floor tiles contrast with the lush greenery and fit harmoniously into the overall look of the garden landscape.
Curved shapes radiate romance
But different rules really apply in your own garden - not the same as in public parks. Here you decide your own garden design, here you are the artist! Create curved garden paths - they fit harmoniously into any private garden landscape. They radiate romance and you often get the impression that there is a surprise behind every corner. A crooked path may encircle a large tree, then wind further through the meadow and hide behind a flowering bush. These are ideal for large gardens with a varied design. Walking there is always pure pleasure. Beautiful shrubs of different sizes, flowering perennials and ornamental grasses planted on both edges emphasize its curves.
In your own garden you also have greater freedom when it comes to the so-called soft coating. The possible options here are gravel,Gravel as a popular material, sand, bark, sawdust. These materials are relatively cheap, efficient, but less durable and require regular replacement. This way, your garden paths will appear completely natural and are easy to renew if necessary or to be replaced completely with others. Paved walkways can be framed with small stones, or with large boulders that harmonize with small slates. This brings an extra touch of romance to your garden!
Made from individual stepping stones
We mentioned this option at the beginning of our article: You can only lay individual steps. They can be arranged in a straight or curved line. They are used in areas that are not frequently walked. The steps can be made of large slabs such as natural or artificial stone, concrete bricks or wood, with regular or irregular shapes. The individual panels are placed at a maximum distance of 55 to 65 cm from each other. Grass grows between the plates. The grass can be flush with the tiles or higher. It adds natural beauty to the track, but it is difficult to maintain.
