One of the most vital elements to any landscaping layout is the path that parts it, whether that walkway leads straight to the front door or meanders through a back garden. Functionally, a walkway must be level, stable, and otherwise structurally sound for good drainage and to avoid tripping hazards—but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t also look great.
Options abound when it comes to materials and patterns, and prices can vary a great deal if you hire a pro to design and install the path. If your budget is more down to earth than the sky’s the limit, there are plenty of projects, using affordable (even free!) materials, for DIYers with different degrees of skill. Check out these delightful ideas for inspiration and helpful how-to tips, and get going on a walkway that wows!
