The path could not only lead us to the wonderful garden from our house, but also add the unique vibe to our garden as one of the garden structures that are designed in its special style. Just take your time to think about how to design your garden path, if you are going to make the garden stunning so that it could attract all your guests. In view of that, there are some suggestions that would be needed. As designing the path in your garden, you have to think about the width of the path, material, color, direction, and shape. What's more, when it comes to design the pathway, the material of the path would be the first thing that comes to my mind. In general, people would love to use wood, stones, concrete and even pebbles to make the path or decorate the path. If you have kids, who would love to ride a bicycle on the pathway, it's better to have a smooth path, which is made of concrete, instead of a bumpy path. As most of you might prefer something special, I highly recommend you to make the pathway by using two different materials. Typically, the combination of stones and pebbles is worth trying. However, how about the rustic combination of woods and pebbles? As to have a special path, you have to make sure the path is coordinated with the style of your garden. When you are choosing the material of your pathway, you have to think about the path drainage problem. As the rain might pour in summer, you need to make sure that the path you make wouldn't become muddy and such a mess. To solve this problem, your path has to be permeable. The lighting for the path is also extremely important in the darkness. As far as I am concerned, the path lighting is not only practical to make our walking safer but also romantic as garden decorations after the night falls. In addition, there are solar path lights which are eco-friendly. In my opinion, the solar outdoor lighting system is a wise choice anyway, which could save you money and do good to the environment. I hope that these suggestions are useful to you, and I will be glad that if you share your own ideas with me.
