Mark Lane, BBC Gardeners’ World presenter and Stannah’s Gardening Expertrecommends 'paving slabs rather than gravel, as little stones are very difficult for wheelchair wheels to navigate. Paving should be pointed with a minimum gap of 10mm. You want a firm, stable, non-slip surface. In some instances, anti-glare paving slabs are a good idea—especially for partially sighted or blind people.' You may have seen the in-ground trampoline in some of the pictures. See how we installed this here: It’s a good idea to slightly lower one side of the boardwalk to allow for water run off. So using a spirit level try and ensure one side is about 10mm lower. (depending on the width of your path.)

Paving slabs are ideal for areas of heavy traffic and are an opportunity to get a bit creative with sizes, shapes and materials for your pathCons: They need to be top-dressed every 1-3 years. If you need to shovel snow often, gravel is not the best choice. Not suitable for steep slopes. 3. Gravel Garden Path Variations Source: Bliss Garden Design | Karl Gercens

I wanted the boardwalk to sit above the level of the lawn but it’s up to you if you want it higher or lower. Just remember it’s a good idea to keep the boards from touching the lawn as over time they will rot with any stagnant water sat on them. Step 4. Preparing and levelling the slabs Aside from looking totally adorable, I think the best thing about this garden-themed reclaimed wood walkway is the fact that you can so easily customize the size desired to suit either large or small gardens. A mown grass path is simply beautiful intersecting through a wildflower meadow; it feels spontaneous and allows you to be immersed in the abundant life of a wild space, exploring from within. This is not a choice for heavy traffic areas; rather it’s more a fair-weather journey. As a small garden idea, you can an area of lawn grow long and mow a walkway through it. Your path or paths could be straight, meandering organically, or spiralling through the landscape. A grass path is inexpensive and easy to maintain with the mower, and you can include lawn edging ideas if you want a neater finish.To keep the weeds down, one could add some landscaping fabric first, then cover with some kind of cover such as mulch, pebbles, pea gravel, etc. These materials may also further protect the wood you will put down first. All the boards were laid with a 4mm gap between each one. This will allow for a little expansion on the boards as the weather changes. You can use tile spacers or a custom made spacer for this. A grassy walk is great for lush garden areas with less foot traffic and people who love walking bare feet (like me!) Source: Green Dreams 15. Stepping stones through grass walk. RS Garden Design 16. Cobblestone garden path If you want to dive in, here are a few of my favorite books with lots of great details on garden path construction! Bark and wood chippings are a natural fit with the dappled shade of woodland garden areas, while also protecting from erosion, mulching and suppressing weeds.
