Choosing a Walkway Path for Your Outdoor Space
Adding walkways to your yard not only provides functionality but adds aesthetic value to your space as well. A well-designed path can lead the eye, create a sense of order, and enhance the overall beauty of your landscape. Read on to learn about some creative walkway path options to consider for your outdoor spaces.
1. Flagstone Paths
Flagstone paths provide a natural and organic look, with each stone’s unique shape and size adding character to the path. Flagstones can be laid tightly together for a solid surface or spaced apart with gravel, pebbles, or ground cover between them for a more informal appearance.
Tip: Larger flagstones can be used for a more stable and durable path, especially in high-traffic areas.
Flagstone adds a touch of charm and texture to any outdoor space.

Tip: Different paver shapes and colors can be combined to create a unique and eye-catching design.
Pavers are a simple and sleek way to add style and functionality to wide or narrow spaces.

3. Brick Walkways
Brick walkways exude a timeless and classic appeal. Bricks can be laid in various patterns, such as herringbone, basketweave, or running bond. The rich, warm tones of brick can complement many garden styles, from formal to cottage gardens.
Tip: Different colors and textures of bricks can be used to create a mosaic effect to add a unique touch.
One of the shining features of bricks is that they can be oriented in interesting ways, adding a layer of visual intrigue to a traditional pathway.
