Ann, there is not a path in the article I would turn down. For some reason, I am a little rustic, I love the two that are winding, and go out of sight. I built a path this year. It's about 3 feet by 7 feet, and walks me right up to the faucet in the front lawn. Until I put this in, I was bringing dirt in pretty much everyday.
We have some aggragate sidewalks and some blacktop. On the hottest days this summers, my poor kitties both burned the pads of their feet so bad. I would love to come up with some little path that remains cool for them.
