Define Your Yard with Landscaped Pathways

Landscaping for your home is more than just flower beds and trees; it can also include pathways. Pathways provide a safe and accessible way to direct traffic flow around your yard. Plus, pathways elevate your yard's curb appeal, making your home seem more inviting. Pathways can be designed in many styles to match any outdoor aesthetic. Some of the most common materials used to create landscaped pathways include:

Pavers/Bricks. Pathways made of pavers or bricks add a refined, elegant look to your home. Many design options are available to create the pattern of your liking. Pavers and bricks are durable and require little maintenance. Replacing one paver or brick is a simple fix if repair is needed.

Stepping Stones. Stepping stones offer a beautiful, natural look for a pathway. Fieldstone or flagstone is often used for stepping stone pathways as they are thin and relatively flat. Stepping stones are available in various sizes and can be laid close together or farther apart, depending on your preference. Little to no maintenance is needed for a stepping-stone path.

Mulch. Many homeowners opt to create a mulch pathway for an organic look that is easy to maintain. Mulch is relatively inexpensive and available in a variety of colors and types (for example, hardwood chips or bark nuggets). As mulch disintegrates, it will need to be replaced, typically every few years.

Gravel. Made of crushed stone or small pebbles, gravel pathways are a simple, long-lasting option. Gravel can be purchased in a variety of sizes and colors and does not need to be replaced as often as mulch. Gravel pathways are usually bordered by pavers, wood, or landscape edging to define the walkway.
