Cheap DIY garden path ideas: 10 ways to build a path for less

Using reclaimed bricks for a cheap DIY garden path will add character to your space as well as allowing you to tie in the new walkway with other parts of the exterior of your house. To create a coherent overall look, it can be helpful to ensure the new path will reflect the surrounding brickwork.

Not only is opting for reclaimed materials a great way to save money in the garden, but whether you source them from a reclamation company or utilize materials left over from another project, it's also good for environmental credentials too. 

'Using reclaimed bricks that are spare from another home project is not only cost effective but it's also a good eco landscaping idea as it's a form of unprocessed recycling,' says garden designer Nathan Gamba at Protea Gardens. 'It reduces the need to produce more materials and saves on waste.' 

Choosing more rustic looking reclaimed bricks or pavers like the ones pictured is ideal if you're hoping to create an attractive cottage garden path in your plot too.
