garden Pathway Tips

Should be level and smooth.

Should have ramps and other grades that do not exceed 5 percent.

Should have clear beginning and ending.

Should have textured surface for traction and orientation and contrasting colors and textures.

Can have turf which is inexpensive and cool, but requires maintenance. Since turf is soft, it is not user-friendly to wheelchairs. Also, turf will die in high-traffic areas. One solution is to mix turf with concrete blocks or paving stones.

Can have wood chips, grass, mulch, compacted soil, crushed limestone and gravel, which are soft and will cushion falls.

Can use concrete, asphalt, power block, patio block (steppingstones) brick, flagstone, or wood.
