This is how you create paths - tips and tricks
An attractive garden not only needs beautiful flower beds but also paths, both should be well planned. The paths serve the demarcation, but also the connection. Depending on the purpose you can fix the paths or leave them unpaved.
How wide should a garden path be?
The optimal width of a garden path depends on its use. If you want to ride it comfortably with a wheelbarrow and turn it off once, then the way should be at least one meter wide. With little used paths between the vegetable beds a width of about 30 centimeters is sufficient. If you have very large feet, you may want to make the paths wider.
How do I fix a way?
An attachment of the way is useful if it is often used and / or ride on the wheelbarrow. You can also use the attachment as a design feature. There are different materials and options available for this, similar to a bed enclosure.
If you want a very durable attachment, then it pays to pave the way or to lay sidewalk panels. Less durable, but very decorative are wooden paths that shape you in the form of a bridge.
Curved paths loosen up the overall picture and make a small garden visually larger. For example, combine a bark-covered path with a fieldstone bedding border.
How do I create paths between vegetable beds?
Between individual vegetable patches, unpaved paths of about 30 centimeters wide are sufficient. Simply step on the floor along a taut string. So you can redesign the beds at any time if needed. If you want to divide a large vegetable garden, then wide and narrow paths should complement each other.
