Mosaic walkways are probably the most unique walkway designs. The mosaic technique dates back to Roman times and has found its place among the new styles and trends easily all these years.
The secret to its timeless look and usage is the unique patterns and images created by natural stones.
Stone mosaics are adaptable to the existing landscape. You can build narrow or wide walkways, create images, or randomly lay the rocks in the mortar.
You can create an artistic, vibrant walkway or add a modern Moroccan-patterned path to your backyard. Check out these 18 Mosaic Walkway Designs That Will Mesmerize You.
