Walkway border ideas

Why not line it with hostas or some other large leafy plant?
Depending on how wide the walkway is (and how ambitious you want to get) you can also break it up with bench seating to sort of extend your deck.

I love walkway lights - you just reminded me that I want those for my walkway. Thanks!onebdzee said:

Do you remember (when you were here) the path created from the back deck steps going to the detached garage?
There is flagstone blocks going from the back deck to the attached garage, but they lay directly on the grass. I want to replace that too, the same way I'm going to install the new one.

If railroad ties are out, why not use brick? I'd have to see what you're talking about, but a little brick border around the flagstone walkway would be attractive. Maybe. Depending on if what I'm picturing is what you're doing.

His dog craps on the deck so I'm not overly worried.
A brick border would work depending on the color of the flagstone and the other things in the area. If the plants aren't evergreen, they might not work. Perhaps a creeping cypress could do the trick. :shrug:
Both, I just installed a draining pipe to take the water that runs off the driveway.crabcake said:
I will re-use the flagstone on the one walkway, but I just don't like the look with it buried in the grass.
That's why I'm looking for some kind of border to outline the walkway.

Concrete
That's a high traffic area. If you want minimal maintenance I'd go with concrete. If it's an area that collects alot of water... Maybe something resembling a pier would look good. Have it match the deck and put hosta(love that hosta) along the sides.
I think gravel gets all over the yad and the mower picks it up..
Just IMO
