An immersive garden experience along the entire path.
- โDeep borders (3-4 feet) with layered plantings

"A garden that happens to have a path through it. The highlight of your landscape."
* Costs are estimates for a typical suburban lot. Your mileage may vary based on location and existing conditions.
The One Thing That Makes or Breaks It
"Paths are for plants that want to be touched. Line your walkway with fragrant herbs (lavender, rosemary), soft grasses, or fuzzy lamb's ear. When people brush against plants while walking, they engage with the gardenโit becomes an experience, not just a view."
Notice how the best garden paths make you slow down and notice things. That's not an accident.
