Additional weatherproof convenient outlets should also be installed at critical locations for special occasions. Check with your electric power supplier and a local electrical contractor, so that all electrical codes and safe practices are followed. For additional safety, low voltage lighting systems are available. One of the easiest and most important garden structures to construct is the walk. Walks permanently divide the garden into individual areas and act as guides or roadways to your garden.
Walks can be bold borders or inconspicuous or hidden paths to secluded garden sanctuaries.
Walks, like patios, can be constructed out of any durable building material which will hold up under temperature, moisture, and freezing stresses. Most walks are rather permanent, but flagstones can be easily moved to take out an old path or make a new one. When laying out your garden plan, be careful to keep walks out of the lowest spots because nobody, excepting the preschool child, likes to splash through water. The walk should be built on a well-drained foundation of sand or concrete so neither soft mud nor upheaving frost can destroy your creation. There are numerous standard patterns for designing your walk or you may want to create your own surface design.
