gravel paths
Stone-chip garden routes
Gravel paths are walkways surfaced with loose stones and pebbles rather than solid pavement.
Common in gardens, parks, and informal landscapes, they provide drainage and a natural aesthetic while crunching underfoot: We strolled along the gravel paths through the rose garden.
The phrase is a fixed compound—paths made of gravel, not paths that are gravelly.
