When it comes to creating a beautiful garden path, perhaps no material is more fitting than wood.

Browse our natural wood garden path designs for inspiration.

Tree Slice Garden Pathway

The tree slice garden pathway is a fun and easy DIY option (or buy wooden slices at your local craft or hardware store) for your property. If you’re taking a tree down on your property, now's a great time to cut its trunk into round slices to create a personalized path. Just coat each slice with sealant to preserve its look.

Wooden Step Garden Path

Another possible DIY garden path made from wood is a wooden step path. To make this pathway a reality, just add wooden planks along an already-graveled path. This is the perfect garden path for inclines and declines in the landscape.

Log-Lined Wooden Pathway

Logs arranged vertically on their ends to form a short wall-like border create a woodsy feel for your garden path. Use this border edging with your existing path or lay wooden planks treated with sealant for even more woodsy beauty.

Recycled Pallet Pathway

Natural wood pathways made from recycled pallets are a good option if upcycling is your thing. Pallets are really cheap and readily available. Just dismantle a pallet and place the individual pieces in the position you want with just a small space between each.

Wood-Lined Garden Path

Trim the edges of your existing garden path with wood boards to separate the path and add aesthetic beauty to your landscape. For a more dramatic look, choose wooden railroad ties instead for your garden path’s border.

Wood Chip Garden Pathway

Love your current stepping stone pathway but want to add the natural beauty of wood? Adding wood chips in the spaces between the stones is an attractive option that also helps to keep weeds at bay.
