finishing t ouch follow
your
path
Who needs a
yellow brick
road when
a whimsical
rock-and-
gravel
pavement
leads the way?Hanging a sign on your
property that reads “keep
off grass” is just plain rude,
but luckily there’s a more
visually appealing (and less
aggressive) way to prevent
visitors from trampling
on your lawn—with a
gravel walkway. Gardens
throughout Europe and
Asia typically have gravel
or pebbled paths and it’s no
wonder, as they add character
and whimsy, not to mention
convenience, to grassy areas.
If you’re handy you could
lay a gravel path yourself—
you only have to dig down
a few inches to make room
for the pebbles—or hire a
professional like Haledon-
based Braen Stone, which
can implement a unique
mosaic pattern of your
choosing. Either way, this
low-maintenance winding
path will undeniably
enhance your outdoor
living space.104|
