Pathways​

Stone and bark path surface

Some may prefer the more subtle bark path, but stepping stones made from slasto do add a quirky element of interest to this path.

Raised Wooden Path

A wood path made of gum poles and short planks spans a stream to provide access to the forest. Wood paths can become slippery over time, and here, a chicken wire layer provides better grip.

An invitation through the forest

Even the dog responds to the invitation of the circle; stop, wait awhile before you choose your direction.

Narrow Paths

Paths need not be wide. Just enough space for one person encourages a slow, quiet stroll, and provides the gardener with access for management duties.

Brick and Sand Path

Embedded bricks provide a safe and dry passage between the beds.

Gravel woodland path

Keep gravel surface contained with rocks and old tree branch edges.

A Gravel Alley

Keeping things neat and minimal close to the house, the gravel alley is surrounded by natural forest.

Wooden Access Pathway

Wooden paths are easy and safe to walk on and add a neat, contemporary feel. Keep the surface slip-free by brushing with a stiff broom.

This narrow bark pathway meanders gently around the entire garden leading the visitor through grasses studded with aloes and succulents and grassland specials.

Paths for steep banks

This narrow duzi path at the top of the bank brings visitors and the gardener closer to the plants. It is a great idea to ensure the gardener has access for maintenance.

Wide steps for gentle slopes

These duzi and sleeper steps work well on a gentle slope. Steps are wide enough for 2 paces on each tread, reducing the height of the riser.

Wild Garden Path

A soft hay path disappears around the corner, and beckons you in.

Access paths

Make wilder sections of the garden accessible with narrow bark paths.
