How Do You Design A Curving Path Or Plant Bed Border?
How to lay out a curving path or plant bed border might be easier than you think! Let’s assume that the path you are making will be bordered by your plant bed. First you need to select a site. Keep in mind whether you want the path level with the ground, raised or following the contour of the land. You should also consider things like drainage, shade, soil type, air flow, and the type of material used for your path. Once you have selected where you want to put your curving path or plant bed border, determine how you are going to create it. By this, I mean, if the area is currently sodded, you can simply cut the sod out in the shape you desire just by using a spade or shovel. Whatever the condition of the site, you want to remove any rocks, grass or plants growing there. For a more precise layout, the site can marked by wooden stakes or sprayed with paint in the pattern you have chosen. Now that your site is free of any unwanted materials, it is recommended that the path be packed down.
