Garden Paths: Beauty Beneath Your Feet

Paths affect the mood in the garden in many ways. A gentle curve invites discovery of the garden ‘around the bend’, and a large, comfortable step encourages contemplation of a special feature. A pathway that is both functional and elegant is a key to increasing a garden’s accessibility, interest, and value.
Changes in direction or surface suggest a pause to examine the garden at hand. A welcoming entrance walk is usually wide enough for two to walk comfortably on a smooth surface, while a small garden path of natural stepping stones fits elegantly in a side garden, allowing your eye to wander when viewed from a window.
The craftsmen at Hanselman Landscape can increase your garden joy (and keep your feet dry!) with a thoughtfully-designed, well-constructed pathway in a variety of styles. Give us a call at 717-653-1273 to discuss your pathway purposes and preferences. We’ll help you take the first step and the next and the next…to craft a pathway that will carry you and your loved ones through your garden for years to come!
