Blog, Inspiration

Creating a captivating garden pathway doesn’t have to be labour-intensive.

At Great Spaces, we believe in designing outdoor spaces that not only enhance the beauty and functionality of your home, but also respect your time and effort in upkeep. With our expert team’s knowledge and experience in low maintenance landscaping in Melbourne, we’re here to guide you through innovative garden path design ideas that promise beauty without the burden.

Embrace durability and style with paving

Paving offers a versatile range of materials including concrete, bricks, and natural stone, each with its unique aesthetic appeal and durability. A well-laid paved path can withstand the test of time and weather, requiring minimal maintenance apart from the occasional sweep to keep it looking pristine. By selecting high-quality materials and a timeless design, Great Spaces ensures your garden path remains a focal point of your outdoor space for years to come.

The rustic charm of gravel

Gravel paths exude a natural, understated elegance and are incredibly easy to maintain – they allow for excellent drainage, reducing puddles and the potential for slippery surfaces. Refreshing the gravel and occasional weeding are all that’s needed to keep your path in top shape. Our team at Great Spaces can help you choose the right size and colour of gravel that complements your garden, ensuring your path is as beautiful as it is functional.

Sustainable and chic with ground cover plants

For those seeking a green, lush look with minimal upkeep, incorporating ground cover plants into your garden path design can be a game-changer. Plants like creeping thyme, sedum, or native groundcovers not only add a pop of colour and texture but also suppress weeds and require less water than traditional lawns. Our horticultural experts can assist in selecting the best low-maintenance species that thrive in Melbourne’s climate, adding life to your garden path with minimal environmental impact.

Cost-effective building: Smart spending for solid walls

Everyone loves a good deal, but cheap can sometimes lead to problems down the road. That’s why at Great Spaces, we focus on giving you the best value – quality work that fits your budget without cutting corners. We keep it cost-effective by knowing the ins and outs of Melbourne’s regulations and using our connections in the industry to your advantage.

Mulch – a natural, nurturing choice

Mulch paths offer a simple and eco-friendly solution for your garden. Not only does mulch suppress weeds and retain soil moisture, but it also breaks down over time, enriching the soil. With a variety of organic materials available, such as bark chips or straw, mulch paths can provide a soft, rustic look while being incredibly gentle on the environment and easy to refresh annually.

Smart edging for a polished look

The addition of edging to your garden path not only defines the space but also prevents the migration of paving materials or mulch, reducing maintenance efforts. Materials like steel, stone, or even recycled plastic can provide a clean line and a polished finish to your garden path, ensuring it stays neat with minimal effort.
