Garden Paths

Garden Paths will definitely enhance the look of any
garden, regardless of the size of the garden. This is obviously
where your creative side needs to take over and help turn your
garden into a piece of art.
You can either be rigid and follow very formal lines
or become artistic and go the informal route (like many of us).
Choosing the formal scene, you would probably go for straight paths,
straight rows in stiff beds, everything, according to the book.
The informal method is exactly the opposite.
If you are one for the more formal arrangement, then
it won't look too stiff, when planting the paths in a straight line.
On the other hand, the
informal, would go crazy just thinking about it. As long as your garden paths
are practical, it doesn't really matter what form or shape they take
on. When it comes to curves, make sure that you have enough garden
space to ensure that the rounding can be fully made!

There are a variety of garden paths that you can
follow. Garden paths can be of gravel, stepping stones, dirt and
even grass. Grass paths are often seen in some very lovely gardens,
but
may not work well in small gardens with limited space. On the other hand, a gravel path
makes for a fine appearance. Follow these steps to place stepping stones:
-Dig out the path for
two feet
-Put in six inches of stone or clinker.
-Pack in the dirt, rounding it slightly toward the centre of the
path.
Using gravel, will also ensure that the water that
might gather due to watering the garden or rain is caught up and
properly drained, not leaving your path with a soggy mess,
especially when receiving guests.
