I think that a nice, paved path in a garden really pulls everything together. Not to mention, it adds a lot to potential curb appeal! The cool part is, you can install pavers yourself. If you put in some time and elbow grease, a beautiful paved path could be in your future. Check out this post by Matt at the DIY Village for an awesome, detailed tutorial:
-Excavate path, bring in gravel base.
-Add a layer of sand, using a level to keep it as even as possible
-Lay out the pavers in the pattern you want, use a dead blow hammer to set them in place
-Spread some quickrete over the path, pouring it into the side of the path as well to hold the pavers in place.
-Fill in the surrounding area with dirt. Ta da!
