1. Stone pathway laid over white pebbles
This one is simple yet stylish and appealing. The garden pathway has three key elements – white gravel, border bricks, and large stepping stones.
As you can see, the real beauty of this walkway is in the contrast between the elements. Consider the base below the gravel, it should be well leveled. It’s amazing how with so simple materials you can achieve a truly gorgeous look!
2. Bottles turned upside-down garden pathway
Creative, visually interesting, and eco-friendly pathway option. An easy and affordable DIY project, especially if you have plenty of empty glass bottles.
You have to put the bottles with their top down deep into the ground, level, and support them. I’m not sure if this gets slippery after rain…However, it offers another way to reuse glass bottles.
3. Round stepping stones pathway
If you really like round shapes, this one is for you. This pathway of concrete blocks is an easy and affordable way to lend any outdoor space a modern look.
You can fill in the gaps with soil, gravel, or mulch, the choice is yours. Actually, the charm of this pathway is in the perfectly round shape of the blocks.
