The Freedom of Movement: Upgrading Garden Paths and Ramps

Reclaim Your Independence

For many in our community, a simple step or a patch of uneven gravel can feel like a mountain. At My Garden Therapy, we create customised, accessible gardening solutions that help you confidently navigate your backyard.

Essential Upgrades for Better Access:

  • Smooth, Level Surfaces: Replacing loose gravel with concrete, brick, or stable crushed rock allows for much smoother travel for canes, walkers, and wheelchairs.
  • Ramps over Steps: If your garden has levels, a gently sloping ramp is much safer than steps, especially for those with vision impairment.
  • Sturdy Handrails: Rails starting at least a metre before the first step provide essential stability for those with balance difficulties.
  • Clear Boundaries: White paint or bright plants along path edges improve visibility for clients with low vision.
