Are you looking for new features and possibilities that you can add to your garden design? If so, then you should think about building a new garden path. One of the great things about a garden path is that it adds a certain level of layering or texture to your exterior design. It also increases kerb appeal and sections the garden too. This can make the area seem significantly larger than it actually is. That’s a big benefit for some homeowners. So, let’s look at the right way to set up your garden path to ensure it is absolutely incredible.

Use Lighting

You might want to think about using lighting as part of your garden path design. The benefit of using lighting is obviously that it will stand out as a beautiful piece of your garden design at any time throughout the day. It really can be quite wonderful to look out the window and see a garden path completely lit up, lighting the way to your home. You can choose from a range of different styles when it comes to garden lighting. For instance, you can think about opting for lamps, posts or even recessed lights. It’s entirely your choice.

If you’re worried about electricity costs, there’s no need. You can instead, choose to opt for solar lighting. By doing this, you can get the lights you want without spending a fortune on energy.

Border The Path

If you want to make sure that your garden path stands out, you do need to think about bordering it. You can do this in a variety of ways. For instance, you can plant some flowers and shrubs along the edge of both sides of the path. Once they grow, they’ll provide a natural border that will look rather beautiful. Alternatively, you can think about adding some stones to the edge of the path. You can choose between different colours and shades to find the stones that match the style of the path you want to create.

Kelkay rockery stone is the perfect choice for this type of bordering and Precious Jade and Meteor Storm rock can be used to create a killer design that looks absolutely tremendous.

Decide On A Width

When deciding on the width of your garden path you need to think in terms of both style and practicality. Obviously, the larger the path is the more attention it’s going to get and the more it’s going to detract from other areas of your garden.

As well as this, you need to think about who is going to be using the path. If you want it large enough for your children's toys like a bike or perhaps even a buggy it needs to be at least a couple of feet in width.

We hope this helps you design that right garden path for your home and we’re sure it will look absolutely wonderful. Remember, choosing the right material is another important consideration. But you do need to make sure that whichever material you use fits your budget.
