Wood Squares

                This idea is a little different from the rest because it usually requires a wider path, but it’s still a great choice. Form square frames with pieces of wood and then fill them with rocks or whatever you feel would make your backyard look its best.

Single Stone

                There’s no need to go all out with wide, expansive paths when all you need is a simple row! Save time and money by setting your stone in one line and then surrounding it with grass or gravel or whatever else fits your backyard.

Gravel

                With some matching stone as a border, a gravel pathway can be a great choice for your backyard. If you have lots of tall shrubbery you want to get through, make a gravel pathway to give your backyard an adventurous feel!

                This takes a little more time and effort than some of the other designs, but it gives your backyard a sophisticated look that everyone is sure to love. Choose the right type of hedge and color of stone that will tie it all together.

    How does one create a glow in the dark stone? It’s actually pretty fascinating that people are able to create things like that. My husband and I have been planning to put a pathway into our backyard, but we’ve been very busy. I’ll have to see if we can talk with a professional to help us plan a few more details.
