And is that installing a garden path doesn’t have to cost a fortune, cheap DIY garden path ideas abound and are a brilliant way to give a simple garden idea new focus without shelling out thousands.

While a garden walkway is a way to get from A to B outdoors, it is not all that a garden can provide. Paths can be a useful way to break up a large lawn or outdoor space, can provide a walkway for access to flower beds and planting, or can be a destination path that leads you to a favorite feature or focal point.

Choice of materials is key to a successful budget garden idea, such as wanting to install a garden walk cheaply. Using recycled materials such as reclaimed bricks, paving stones and wooden floors is an easy way to cut costs and if you do the work yourself there will be no labor costs to consider.

Alternatively, you can choose inexpensive materials such as gravel, shingle and wood bark, which can be picked up in DIY sheds quite cheaply, with bulk purchases available at key times of the year.
