there is little demand for front walks, which are wholly a matter 

 of convenience rather than beauty. When built, they should lead 

 in the direction people desire to go. Long, circuitous routes 

 around a semi-circle are unnatural and do not represent good 

 planning. It has been suggested that the best way to locate a 

 walk is to find out where people want to go by first permitting 

 them to form a path and take that as the location. This does not 

 mean, however, that walks must always be in straight lines. Often 

 a gentle curve can be introduced so as not to be objectionable 

 from the standpoint of distance and to give a pleasing landscape 

 effect. In such instances it may be desirable to plant a tree or 

 clump of shrubs on the inside of the curve to give an apparent 

 reason for the deviation
