Gravel. Adding a gravel path is one of the quickest changes you can make to your landscape, gravel is easy to work with and generally leans toward the heart of budget-friendly. All it takes is a few yards of landscaping cloth, some type of edging and the ability to spread gravel.

Shhh! This narrow space feels like a secret garden where you might want to speak in a hushed voice. While the property is situated very close to the neighboring one, the lush, textural row of clumping bamboo converts it into a beautiful and private path enclosure. The only sounds you'll hear are the crunch of your sandals across the gravel path and the rustle of bamboo fronds when there's a breeze.

Some people hang tapestries on their hallway walls. And some people line their side garden with a textural privacy screen that resembles a fabric tapestry. This narrow side garden has a lot going for it: 1. the gravel walk is contained with a slender metal edging on either side, 2. the bamboo is densely planted, but maintained like a hedge and 3. uplighting, subtle but effective, adds drama after dark.

1. Safety LightingGrab a flashlight and walk your garden at night. Where are you likely to trip? To walk off the path into the darkness? To back the car off the driveway? To need access on a somewhat regular basis (for instance, the trash storage area)? Also look to see if wayfinding is clearly delineated: Think in terms of getting from point A to point B without breaking your neck. Finally, revisit these same points but as though you'd never seen the garden before, then tweak your lighting plan to assure that visitors can safely and easily negotiate the dark as well.2. Security LightingNow look at your yard and consider where you'd like to eliminate dark corners — places where someone could hide or the spot where the coyotes hop the fence. The amount of lighting you need for this function depends on your comfort level and your situation, but it's best to avoid prison-yard levels of illumination. Path lights, subtle style. Path lights are small light fixtures along the edge of a walkway, a driveway or another type of path. There are lots of styles to choose from. Pick a style that complements your garden and house — or pick one that just "disappears" in the landscape. I tend to be fussy about the light a fixture makes, versus looking for a fixture that makes an architectural or artistic statement. Avoid creating a runway effect by staggering light, setting some higher and some lower, placing some nearer and some farther from the path and/or softening the fixtures with vegetation — as in this photo.

While bamboo is lovely planted in a garden, beware that the roots can extend 20 feet underground and disturb foundations and plumbing pipes. Also, it can take over and become extremely costly and difficult to eradicate.See how to use bamboo in the landscape

Interesting idea, you would definitely have to have a container or barrier so that the bamboo wouldn't take over the garden.
