Garden path should be decorative and functional. Path can be constructed by mixing material like concrete with pebbles or tile with pebbles and wooden blocks etc. The path may be straight, curved or edged; which depends on available space in the garden. A straight path at centre of small garden divides it into two small blocks. Wooden block path looks beautiful in your garden whereas floating stone paths and stone block paths are commonly used in garden.
Brick is the best choice for path. It is economical, easy to lay, durable and weather resistant. Brick path can be laid in different patterns like brick pattern and herringbone pattern. Mixing bricks of two colors look good.

Stone slabs can also be used for garden paths but it is expensive. These are available in large size slabs which may be heavy and difficult to handle.

By mixing different materials you can create interesting and innovative effects. Stone and brick, stone and pebbles, gravels and stone, timber and pebbles, stone and tiles, all combinations look elegant if colors are chosen well.
