If you are thinking about how to improve your paths, listen to the advice of the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

Made of brick

Such a path will always look neat and will suit any area. Old bricks left over from construction will do for its design. Integrity is not the main criterion: a beautiful path can be created from “different-sized” fragments.

From cuts

If there are wooden buildings on the site or it is decorated in a rustic style, take a closer look at paths made of wood cuts. The material used is old wood, which must be cut strictly perpendicular to the log and processed.

From pebbles

Beautiful and original – this is how you can describe paths laid out with pebbles. Thanks to the variety of stones, you can choose a path design that would suit the landscape and architecture of the house.

From stone slabs

Using natural or artificial material, you can create luxurious and at the same time natural paths. The design options for paths are varied: from the most natural of uneven layers to laconic of slabs with clear outlines.

From mulch

Using wood chip mulch is the most affordable and simple way to decorate paths on a site, and it is not inferior to other materials in decorativeness. Another advantage is that it is pleasant to walk barefoot on such a surface. There is also a disadvantage: mulch needs to be periodically renewed, as it quickly decomposes.
