Construction of walks depends on the use to which they are to be subjected.
The least expensive to install but probably the most expensive to maintain is the grass path. Such paths are useful in flower, vegetable or fruit garden where there is very little traffic.
Any grassy paths that adjoin flower beds or other kind of planting should have definite edge of brick or flat stone.
Gravel or crushed-stone paths with brick edges are least expensive.
A great range of colour can be had with broken bluestone, sandstone, limestone, and marble of various colours and textures.
Stone, brick and concrete are suitable for the important paths in the garden. Such paths should not be less than 60 cm wide.
There are endless possibilities in patterns for laying bricks.
Where walks cross terraces, the slope of which is too steep for a ramp, it is necessary to construct steps.
A path with graceful and gentle curves will look much better than a straight path.
