The appearance of a garden path can have a big influence on the look of your garden. In addition, according to the rules of Chinese feng shui art, the shape of an alley and the materials that are used for its manufacture and decoration can affect enormously the atmosphere in the outdoor space and its energy.

What is the use of garden paths and outdoor paths? The answer to this question may seem obvious but, as we will see, the functions of the aisle are much more numerous than we usually think. Of course, the main role of these elements is to provide a secure and comfortable surface that connects the areas of the green space.

In addition to this main function, there are at least five other roles of garden paths. In the first place, they are used to define the boundaries of an area and to give the outside a more organized air. The second function is related to the organization of traffic in the outdoor space.

Outdoor walkways are also part of your garden’s look, which means they are used to make it look more interesting. These small paths are attractive and they can simply become a way to invite visitors to a corner of the garden that is particularly interesting. Finally, let us not forget one last function: it is the fact that the outer paths introduce more resistant and natural materials into the landscape, making it more varied and more aesthetic.

And precisely, sometimes the garden paths are arranged simply because they give the space a look more attractive and prettier. For example, an outdoor stone or paved driveway can contrast sharply with the surrounding greenery and can therefore serve as a natural decorative element.

Paths are also being built in a garden to introduce more curved shapes and more movement. According to Chinese feng shui art, this type of outdoor paths allow energy to circulate in space in a calm manner and positively charge the landscape. On the contrary, garden paths that cross the exterior from one end to the other without any detours make the circulation of energy faster, which contributes to high stress rates.

To do this, first choose the function of your garden path. Will it aim to protect the lawn of your outdoor space or will it rather serve to embellish it? What other functions will it perform?

To build an alley or a garden path, think about the areas that they will connect and the number of people who will use them. For example, if you need to connect heavily used areas, plan to build your driveway over a larger area. We also advise you to respect the same rule for the paths of entry of house for which it is necessary to envisage on average a surface of 1, 2 meters minimum.

The aisles are nicer when they have curved shapes, but not all spaces lend themselves to the creation of such elements. Try to follow the natural look of the outdoor space and make your garden paths a natural part. Laneways are not just lanes; they divide space visually and serve as boundaries. Keep this in mind to avoid creating oddly divided spaces.

The layout of an outdoor space must always be done with a specific objective. The decorative aisles play a different role compared to those located in the space in front of the house. The former are intended to fit into the natural landscape while the latter have a more practical purpose and must therefore provide direct access to the front door of your building.

The edges of the garden paths are just as important as the paths themselves. They protect the surface of the aisles and indicate the limits of a pedestrian zone. On the other hand, they prevent weeds from spreading and thus facilitate the maintenance of the outside. To have a harmonious garden, try to associate the borders of your aisles with the look of these and with the design of the entire outdoor space.

The space around the aisles can be decorated in many ways. In a large garden, with longer walkways, these decorations could include rest areas with benches. In a small exterior, we will decorate an alley of a fountain or a statue that will serve as an accent in the outdoor space.

The aisles do not have the function to ensure only access to an area of the garden, they are also a decorative element in the design of the exterior. The large gardens will benefit enormously from one or more paths, even if these are not necessarily necessary from a practical point of view.

Nowadays, there is a wide range of materials for creating garden paths. These materials are to choose not only according to their appearance but also according to the role of the path. Thus, the house entrance aisles are generally decorated with more solid surfaces, non-slippery and, more generally, which do not pose a health problem to their users. Stone and wood slabs are perfect examples of this kind of surfaces.

The wood is another solution for the realization of an original garden path. Like stone, wood is an organic material and ideal for exteriors inspired by natural decoration and Zen design. Less durable than stone, it must be maintained with the protection of its surface against mold and insects that will attack.
