Garden Paths
Garden paths connect different parts of your outdoor space while adding structure and interest. Whether it is a practical route from the driveway to the front door or a winding path through a planted garden, the material you choose makes a big difference to the price: gravel paths are cheap, while paved paths cost about the same per square metre as a patio.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best material for a garden path?
It depends on how the path will be used and the style of your garden. Natural stone or porcelain pavers work well for main paths used every day. Gravel suits informal or winding paths through planted areas and is the cheapest option. Materials can also be mixed, for example stepping stones set into gravel.
