The width depends v.a. from the use of the garden path
How wide should my new garden path be?
The width of a garden path not only has visual significance, it also important for use.So ask yourself before the detailed planning of your garden paths, in which way you want to use the new way.
How is the garden path used?
If your new path leads to a cozy seating area in the garden corner or if it is rarely used then it does not have to be wider than about 40 cm. Such a path does not necessarily have to be paved, a layer of gravel or bark mulch is less compact. In addition, you can use these rubbers to make a path very individual with curves and bows.
It looks quite different when it comes to a practical "work path". For example, if he leads you to your laundry or if you want to drive him with a wheelbarrow in your gardening, then it should be relatively wide and not unnecessarily curved. Ideally, such a path is paved
Are there guidelines for the width of a garden path?
You do not have to reinvent the wheel again and again, so you can fall back on the experience of other people when planning a garden path. For example, a width of at least 1.20 m is recommended for main roads leading to the front door of a single-family home, for example. This width is sufficient that two people can comfortably walk next to each other.
If you want several people to be able to walk side by side, then expect a person with a width of 60 cm per person, for possibly carrying bags maybe even 30 cm extra. For regularly used byways, for example for compost, a width of about 40 to 80 cm, depending on whether they are driven by a wheelbarrow or not.

Tips
A distance of 30 cm to hedges or walls is useful for main roads, so you can comfortably walk on it.
