Are you a wanderer? Or even just a wanderer at heart? Then, these garden path ideas are for you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even a small yard or garden benefits from a pathway that weaves and curves around leading to a happy destination; like the family fire pit. Or the garden shed. It can also break up a large outdoor space and give it a more interesting look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pathway gives you someplace to go in your yard or garden. For instance, instead of plodding across the lawn, a path provides an interesting way to get there, with a park bench, a fountain or bright flower beds lining the way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some inspiring garden path ideas you might consider adding this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garden Path Ideas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you’re interested in garden design, you probably already know how irresistible a pathway is; it literally begs to be followed! The good news is, whether you DIY, or decide to hire a landscaper or garden design professional, there’s no shortage of materials and creative ideas for every budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

START WITH A VISION:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just for fun, look at your yard and use your imagination to visualize where a path might go. Consider, too, the purpose it will have. Some people like to physically mark things out with surveyors spray paint to get a better visual. Then they outline it using small stones, logs, or stake and twine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A path doesn’t have to be long, either. Even a short walkway thru the garden is charming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A variety of materials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Different materials make a different impression: formal, informal, woodsy etc. So think about where your path is being installed and what style would best match the look and feel you want to accomplish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
