A straight path tells visitors to come directly to the front door. Like anything straight, this path style tends to add a sense of crispness and structure to the garden. You can make the garden more formal or less formal by how the plants behave – are they neat and trimmed away from the path or do they overflow onto the path? Neat plantings will enhance the formal feel. Loose, overflowing plantings will add to a more casual sense.
