With spring finally (hopefully) here and thoughts no doubt turning to spending more time outside, you may well be thinking about how you can enhance your outdoor space. And one aspect you might be considering is the addition of a garden path or walkway.
These elements bring with them a number of benefits, including a better look overall and improved garden flow – they also encourage exploration, especially if, for example, you have small children in your household or they visit regularly. You get a practical and visually appealing way of navigating and organising open-air spaces. Pathways can guide people to focal points, whether that’s the plants you love most, water features or, for example, a bench or other seating.
Thanks to pathways, you have a clear, simple way of getting across wet or bumpy ground, and of protecting your lawns from soil or grass erosion where there’s heavy foot traffic. Walkways also help define the various parts of your patch, giving a nice sense of organisation and order. Equally, it becomes easier to access the different sections of your garden to carry out tasks such as weeding or pruning.
The design can be done to suit your garden’s overall theme and style, plus you have a wide range of materials from which to take your pick, from gravel and wood to stone.
Finally, another thing you may not have realised is that a nicely maintained and designed garden walkway can actively enhance your property’s overall value.
It’s usually worth getting your garden pathway laid professionally – that way, you benefit from expertise in design and installation, a high-quality finish plus an end result that’s exactly what you need.
Garden pathways from AS Landscapes
At Surrey-based, AS Landscapes (also serving customers across Hampshire, Ascot and Windsor), we already provide a first-class patio installation service and can use many of the same materials, such as natural stone paving including York stone or clay pavers, to create an elegant, bespoke garden path for your front or back yard.
How does the design process work?
As part of our bespoke design service, we work with customers every step of the way from start to finish to provide you with the outdoor space you want. So your garden path can be a standalone project or part of a complete overhaul – or perhaps, for example, you want stepping stones from a patio to the border of your space, in the same materials. There are many options to choose from.
Here’s how our walkway design process works:
Phase 1: Initial consultation and planning
We’ll have an initial meeting to get to know you and your needs – at the same time, we’ll give you a price estimate. There’ll also be a survey. You’ll see a draft plan and have the opportunity to suggest any changes you want.
Phase 2: Construction
Once you’ve agreed both the plan and the quoted price, our professional, award-winning landscapers will get to work.
Phase 3: Planting
If you’ve asked us to plant your garden, we’ll supply a plan for doing so at this stage, including suggestions tailored to what you want and your particular property.
Why choose AS Landscapes to build your garden walkway?
We bring extensive sector experience, and have worked in the industry for more than two decades. So between us we’ve built up a huge amount of expert knowledge across a broad spectrum of garden types and sizes.
