Garden Path Planning

So first things you need to think about when you plan a garden path are materials you’re going to use, its layout and what edging would look good with it. In addition, you should also consider what fixtures you’ll use for lining and lighting your walkways.

The layout depends only on your needs because only you know which parts of your gardens should be accessible. Although there are some tips you should consider when you’re planning the layout:

  • A path which gradually becomes narrower will give the illusion that the garden is longer than it really is. If its end point is hidden this rule works even better.
  • Most of garden paths should be wide enough for two people to stroll along together, or at least as wide as a wheelbarrow or other needed garden equipment to fit through
  • A path that curves and disappears around a corner draws attention to what lies beyond.
  • Posts with ropes and climbers, a pergola or arch over the path are those things that can easily create a three dimensional effect for your garden so you should think where to put them.
