A backyard path doesn't have to be merely practical, it can be pretty too. Solid brick or paving has its time and place, but it lacks a certain je nais se quois as a landscaping idea. Instead, many of us decide to lay our paving or flagstones at stride-length intervals atop our lawns for a more natural look. The problem is, the grass in between has a tendency to wear away, giving way to unsightly patches of bare dirt. If that sounds familiar, you might want to consider an alternative ground cover instead.
Walkable ground cover plants are one of the best ways to fill the gaps between your stones that also promise a more whimsical garden path idea. These dense, mat-forming plants are low-growing making them tough enough to tolerate light foot traffic.
