Two standard approaches dominate: loose gravel paths, where angular gravel compacts into a firm surface, and framed paths, where pebbles or gravel sit between edging, stepping stones or pavers.

What gravel is best for a garden path?
Mid-range angular gravel that compacts and stays in place. Confirm available gradings with the supplier's chart.

Yes, but rounded pebbles are unstable alone — they are normally set between edging or stepping stones.
How much gravel does a path need?
Multiply path area by planned depth with the stone quantity calculator, then add a margin for compaction.
