ᐅ Optimal Walkway Width in the Garden

Hello,

we want to have a walkway paved in our garden leading to the garden shed, so you don’t have to walk across the lawn to get there.

The walkway should be placed directly next to the fence, which is 1.80m (5 ft 11 in) high.

What is a good width for the walkway to allow comfortable walking?

From my personal experience: 60cm (24 inches) if you don't want to pass someone else comfortably. Otherwise 90cm (35 inches).

Maybe 70-80 cm (28-31 inches) would be better right next to a 180 cm (71 inch) fence. But don’t paving slabs work there as well?

The question is also... where does the path to the garden shed start from, and what is in the garden shed? A lounge area or just garden tools?

And always along the fence... hmm... is that really the shortest and most common route afterwards? If not, people often walk over the lawn and so on.

Please share a plan and explain what the path will be used for.

In our garden, we have laid natural stone stepping slabs through the lawn instead of a full path – that works for us and, in my opinion, looks nicer.

For a wheelbarrow, I would recommend planning with a width of about 80 cm (31.5 inches).
