How do I design a beautiful garden path?
Not every garden owner is creatively and / or handicraft talented, but (almost) everyone can design a garden path themselves. Garden magazines, printed or even on the Internet, provide numerous ideas and special programs for the PC help you with the implementation and planning.
Which design means are there?
The most important design tools for a garden path are the route, the width and the surface of the path. If you would like to get an idea of how your garden works with the newly planned path, then make a drawing or use a garden design program for the computer. So you can play through different variants and opt for the most beautiful.
How can I set accents through paths?
In a rather small garden too many different elements seem a bit restless or chaotic, as are the paths. Do not choose too many different coverings or widths. Discreetly set accents can round off the harmonious overall picture. Maybe you want to illuminate your path or limit it with a small hedge.
If you separate different garden areas from each other, this will make your garden clear and "tidy". Frequently used paths may be slightly wider than the less used ones. In addition, they should have a durable weatherproof surface and a solid base. After all, this route should be well accessible and safe even in rain, ice or snow.
Narrow and / or little-used paths are often designed as gravel paths or with bark mulch. Such paths are more discreet than a concrete path. In addition, they are easy to put on and very cheap.
