Benefits of Adding a Custom Pathway
Custom pathways provide a safe way for you and your guests to move from one area of your property to another. Here are some other great benefits:
- Reach every area with ease: Pathways create clear routes to your patio, garden, or driveway, making all areas accessible, even after heavy rain.
- Bring your yard together: A well-designed path ties everything together, creating a consistent appearance and highlighting your landscape design.
- Keep maintenance simple: Materials like gravel or pavers require little upkeep, leaving you more time to enjoy your outdoor space.
- Add safety and stability: A durable surface provides steady footing, reducing the risk of trips and falls, even in heavily used areas.
Popular Materials for Pathways
The materials you choose for your pathway determine how well it works and how it looks in your yard. Here are some popular options for Portland homeowners:
- Flagstone: With its natural beauty and slip-resistant texture, flagstone can be used as a solid path or as stepping stones to connect areas of your garden while keeping a naturalistic feel.
- Pavers: Available in a variety of colors and patterns, pavers offer endless possibilities for customization.
- Gravel: This affordable option adds a casual, rustic look to gardens and natural settings while providing excellent drainage. Adding metal edging can help keep the path looking crisp.
- Woodchips: A cost effective option to add access paths in an unobtrusive way. We advocate for using free local arborist chips from services like Chip Drop to improve sustainability.
