Mulch Paths
Organic mulch such as pine bark and mulch blend well with the natural setting and are soft to walk on. They are also easier to spread than stone because they aren’t as heavy and they are usually less expensive than stones. Keep in mind, over time mulch will decompose and will need to be rejuvenated every couple of years with fresh material.
It usually less expensive to have mulch delivered than purchasing them in bags. Paths should be about 3 feet wide with a 3 inch deep layer of mulch.
Gravel Paths
Gravel paths have a more formal look and since they don’t break down they last longer. If you plan on running the lawn mower over the path, you may want to choose a crushed stone over smooth pebbles. Crushed stones have a jagged edge that lock together so the surface is firmer, they are more likely to stay in place.
For a more comfortable feel underfoot, choose a smaller stone, under a half an inch. It will also need to be about 3 feet wide and 3 inches deep.
Just measure how long the path will be and give the professionals at Reliable Peat a call and they will do the math for you and tell you how much stone or mulch you will need.
