While walkways serve as one of the most practical pieces of hardscaping, that doesn't mean they can't add to your garden's style as well. Not only are stepping stone walkways full of creative potential, but they're also often cheaper and easier to install and maintain than solid ones. If you're thinking about adding this simple, attractive feature to your property, here are some ideas to help get you inspired.

How Can You Make Your Stone Walkway Stand Out?

1. Embrace Asymmetry

Though the look of evenly spaced stones of matching sizes is always an excellent option, it's not your only option. Create a path of rocks that are uneven in size and shape to create an unpredictable aesthetic. Also, stagger the stones instead of placing them in a straight line to break up the predictability of your walkway and add your own style.

2. Create Intersecting Paths

If you have a vast yard with multiple gardens and features, build two or more paths throughout the yard and bring them together at an intersection. This creates a fun pattern through the lawn for visual appeal, and it makes a great path for leisurely strolls around the garden.

3. Play With Color

Your walkway is an excellent opportunity to add a splash of color to your landscaping. Consider flagstone, slate, and bluestone for the natural colors they offer, and fill in the space between the stones with colorful river rock. Flowers and bright plants along the walkway will bring this look to the next level, making your landscaping and hardscaping work together in vivid harmony.
