Replace cedar chip paths
If your garden paths are looking worn and tired from years of use, it might be time to replace your cedar chip paths. Cedar chips can break down over time, creating a messy and uneven surface that can pose safety hazards and detract from your property’s curb appeal. A great solution is to replace them with more durable materials like gravel, stone, or pavers. Not only will this enhance the visual appeal of your landscape, but it will also improve safety, be eco-friendly, and require less maintenance in the long run.
