The most relaxing and beautiful gardens incorporate a unique design of stone or ceramic tiles and sometimes even water features. Most often, mulching beneath your garden is advised. However, for walkways in your next landscaping project try one of these tiling ideas from Watertown Tile:
Stepping Stones:
Tiling through Grass
While grass is a beloved natural look and can be very comfortable underfoot, when muddy it is not the best option. A favorite of many landscape enthusiasts is to incorporate stepping stones or tiles on a path. For a unique look, we recommend oblong tiles. It can add an overall appearance that is quite appealing and modern.
Checkered Tile Yard
For many, tiling with grass in between each stepping stone is both beautiful and relaxing for traipsing through the garden barefoot. A design growing in popularity specifically uses large, square tiles to create a checkered tile look, switching between grass squares and tile equally. Some call this a “Chessboard” design.
Pathways:
Mosaics
Another design growing in popularity is the use of mosaic tiles to create large vines, flowers, and other colorful artwork that spans the length of your tiled paths, giving the garden its own ornate border.
Abstract Elegance
Fans of abstract art and geometric shapes will be interested in a design that can incorporate any kind of tile. By constructing your paths with odd angles, curves, and unnecessary corners, you can add an intricate modern detail not found many places. Another added characteristic that often helps accentuate this look is a much darker tile or ceramic tile design chosen specifically to outline the path’s edges.
Mediterranean Class
For a look of authentic Mediterranean class, consider using an assorted collection of oblong-shaped paving or flagstones lined by short walls of soap or limestone. Atop the walls, traditional flower pots can give each path an added feeling of comfort and beauty.
