If you live in a hot-warm climate area, you may want to consider a tile path.
Tiles can be less expensive than concrete, stone and brick, while still providing a lot of style. Options include terra-kotta and earthen tiles as well as unintended ceramic and porcelain tiles.Shining Terra-Kotta or earthen tiles, their rustic appeal, with earth tones and natural variations, are a great choice for paths in the south-west, but they can also feel at home in other warm-class areas. These tiles can take day to day wear; Between the two, Terra-Kotta tiles are less prone to cracking. You can set either a concrete or sand-and-bid base, although the pre-stability will provide. The clay tile can be more slippery than the Terra-Kotta tile when it is wet.
The porous nature of Terra-Kotta and earthen tiles makes them stain, disappearance and susceptible to surface damage. To make them look their best, clean the dirt and debris regularly and address any stains as they appear. Applying the sealant may prevent malaise and wear, but keep in mind that it will be necessary to resettles again every few years to maintain that safety.
