What is the cheapest way to make a garden path? ›

Mulch and gravel are the cheapest pathway materials you can buy for rock walkways, and they make construction simple, too, making them two of our favorite walkway ideas. All you have to do is remove the sod, roll out landscape fabric and spread the mulch or gravel.

What is a good width for a garden path? ›

Main garden paths and primary paths leading to entrance areas should be wide enough to allow two people to walk side by side: A minimum width of 4 feet is good; 5 feet is better. Plan on a width of 3 feet for garden paths, landscape paths for general use, or any path on which a wheelbarrow will travel.

How do you make a simple garden path? ›

Should a garden path be straight or curved? ›

A logical, credible route for a pathway is paramount. Curved pathways should follow contours, lines of the lawn, curve around beds or features, or even around islands of grass cut at different lengths. A meandering pathway through a level lawn with straight sides makes no sense at all.

How do you make a straight path more interesting? ›

But if you want to add visual interest to an existing straight path, the options include:
  1. a pergola or arches to walk under.
  2. a fountain, water feature or pond with a bridge to walk over.
  3. interrupting the straight line by adding a paved area or bench part way along the path.

How far apart should stepping stones be? ›

You'll want to space your concrete stepping stones in such a way as to accommodate the average human's stride. Spacing them 24 inches on the center is just about right for most people. Begin by placing a few of the concrete stepping stones on top of 1/4 of the projected path.

How do you lay a garden path without concrete? ›

The best alternative to cement is to use a sub-base of sand. While this isn't too tricky (see our 'how to lay paving slabs on sand' section) it isn't the most secure way of laying a patio. Unfortunately, the slabs will often begin to sink and shift eventually, plus, weeds will make their way through the sand base.

How do you lay slabs on a garden path? ›

Use wooden stakes and string to mark out an outline of the path. Measure the thickness of your paving slab, then add 150mm. Dig a channel that is this depth. Fill the channel with 50mm of MOT type 1 sub-base, rake it so that it's level and then compact with the tamper.
