I can think of a few good materials you should consider. Let's run down the list:

  1. Brick: This offers a timeless appeal. Laid in interesting patterns, brick paths can evoke a charming, old-world feel. They're durable, and their reddish-brown hue can warm up any garden.

  2. Gravel: Affordable and easy to install, gravel provides a rustic look. The crunch underfoot can be satisfying, but be mindful of maintenance as it can scatter.

  3. Concrete: Modern gardens often utilize poured or stamped concrete. Concrete is versatile, and durable, and it can be tinted or textured to suit your desired look.

  4. Crushed Shell: Popular in coastal areas, crushed shell paths give a beachy, relaxed vibe. They're permeable, eco-friendly, and add a bright touch to garden settings.

  5. Ceramic Tiles: Ceramic tiles can bring a splash of colour and pattern to your garden path. Tiles are great for outdoor applications, and as the Freelands Tiles website shows, there are plenty of styles to choose from.

When selecting materials, think about the look you want, the maintenance level, and your local climate. Some materials may weather differently depending on local conditions.
