2. The Classic Gravel Path
Gravel is perhaps the most versatile material in the landscape architect’s toolkit. It is affordable, easy to install, and provides a satisfying, rhythmic crunch underfoot.
- Design Note: Always use a professional-grade landscape fabric underneath to prevent weeds from infiltrating your path.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Use pea gravel for a traditional, soft look, or crushed granite for a more modern, stable surface that stays put under foot traffic.
