LASTING 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. Hanselman Landscape can increase your garden joy (and keep your feet dry!) with a thoughtfully-designed, well-constructed pathway.

LINK Your Living Space
Connect all your living areas, create a relaxing invitation for strolling, and communicate your garden themes with attractive, functional walks. A well-built path guides your feet (or wheels) and keeps them dry and secure. It links your home to the garden or the world visually and physically and helps to define your garden’s character.
Added ENJOYment To Your Garden Space
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.
Path and Walkway Textures
There are many choices for texture and pattern in walkways. The pathway selections we make together for your garden will coordinate with your overall plan, meet your specific functional needs, and express your unique message to your guests. Formal, casual, comfortable, or playful moods are enhanced by the shapes given to the paths that direct us to doorways or meander through the garden.
JAPANESE-INSPIRED NOBEDAN PATHS
Nobedan (a Japanese stone laying pattern) celebrates natural flow, using varying stone sizes and textures to mimic a meandering stream. Each step becomes a deliberate pause, inviting quiet contemplation. Our process can be likened to piecing a puzzle together on the kitchen table, except that in the creation of a nobedan path or patio, the pieces are templated, cut, and shaped by the same people who will put the puzzle together in your garden.
