Frequently Asked Questions
How wide a garden path should be depends on how it’s used. For one person to comfortably walk along a path, a width of 800–1000 mm is sufficient. Paths used by two people side-by-side, wheelbarrows or prams are often 1000–1200mm.
How to lay a garden path with slabs starts with good preparation: set out the route, dig out to the right depth, then install and compact a solid sub-base before adding a bedding layer and laying the slabs level with the correct fall for drainage. The most important part is the groundwork, because a well-built base is what prevents rocking slabs and sinking over time.
To remove moss and algae from a garden path, start by brushing the area to lift surface growth, then use a paving-safe cleaner and rinse thoroughly. Moss and algae return fastest in shade and damp spots, so regular sweeping and good airflow/light where possible helps keep the path looking fresh. Avoid harsh acids unless you’re certain they’re suitable for your slab material.
The best slabs for a garden path are the ones that suit your garden style and cope well with foot traffic, weather and year-round maintenance. For a crisp, modern look and easy cleaning, porcelain is popular. For a more traditional feel with natural variation, sandstone and limestone are classic choices. If your path is shaded or gets wet often, prioritise a finish with good grip and plan for occasional cleaning.
Regular sweeping is the easiest win when cleaning a garden path, as it prevents dirt and organic build-up that leads to staining and algae. For deeper cleaning, a mild detergent and water with a stiff brush will handle most marks; pressure washing can work too, but use a fan setting and moderate pressure to avoid damaging joints or the slab surface.
How long before you can walk on a garden path depends on the installation method and weather conditions. Many installers recommend keeping foot traffic off for at least 24-48 hours, and longer in cold or wet weather, to allow materials to set properly.
