Pathway to Property Landscaping

5 November 2018

Idea’s to dress your home’s forgotten side and increase your home’s property value.

The sideway or pathway of most suburban homes is generally a narrow concrete path or a path covered in Lilydale toppings. Most homeowners neglect this area of their property and let their house pet utilise the space. However, with a little bit of planning and effort, you can transform this space into a feature of your property. If you choose to create your new space then we suggest you engage the whole family to input their ideas. Then, as a collective, you can make this a family project. And, at the same time raise the price of your property.

Simple Side Path Transformation

Here is an example of how to simply transform a side path leading to a back gate. The fence and gate look a little tired. And the crushed rock path collects leaves, weeds and little amounts of rubbish and making it look untidy.

With just 3 alterations the side path is reborn. Note the gate frame remains. The corner edge was cut back. This allowed the brick paving to bend inward giving the effect of more space. In this space, some pot plants were added.
