the front rather than in the rear. Thus there may be a service walk on one side 

 of a house and a main-entrance walk on the other, and there is no difficulty in 

 so marking the walks as to clearly distinguish them, difference in width alone 

 being usually sufficient. 



Walks leading from the side passages need not continue in the same straight 

 line after passing the house. If they are too near the lot boundary, they should 

 be "stepped" away from the boundary-line hedge or fence to a distance one 

 foot greater than the walk width. While it is well to preserve the unbroken 

 width of the lawn, a sufficient border of green is very necessary. Allow ample 

 widths for main walks, and, if they may be made interesting in any detail without 

 appearing fussy, the decoration will be well placed.
