I'd like to ask you to visit my town, which has a dream address of 4E00-0045-2566. I have pathways and 3-wide roads, and I also have grass paths to match the half-grass pathways I own. I want to get a perfect town rating, so I need trees and flowers and such, but I also want things to match my paths... Should I use flowers or grass paths aside my roads?

EDIT: Should I use the grass paths alongside the roads (to blend in with the half-grass paths near houses), or just stick to trees and flowers?

I will go peek right now :)
 
I will be honest, I am not very good at planning a town out... but wow I love your paths. With the colors I would plant more of the lilies and maybe some peach trees. The paler colors seem like they would mesh well with what you have going. I love the water path too. You're doing awesome
 
I'll take a look at your town in a few minutes :3

edit: First of all, I'm not really all that great with this kind of thing, but I really like your water paths! I agree with what Xme said about having lighter colors with flowers and fruit. Your pathway is really pretty. You could probably also plant some pear trees near your path if you wanted to add more trees. Lilies would probably look nice or maybe some pink and white carnations. :o

Also, if you wanted to plant bushes in your town ever, I think that the white azalea bush starts and the pink-hydrangea start and blue-hydrangea start would look nice with your path.

Your town looks good though, good job! :)

you could, it just really depends on how many paths you want in your town, in my town I have just a simple path with an edge that I plan on putting bush starts or flowers around the edges of them. (I have starts near the beginning of my path because I'm trying to figure out if I want bushes or not.) I personally like having flowers line paths, but that's just me.

I think it also depends on when the season changes, are you going to be changing the grass paths too or keeping them the green that they are? I think they blended in pretty well with the other grass, but when seasons change it may not blend so well.
 
I was planning on keeping them the way they are (they're not my designs) but I could change the shade a bit with an editor. I think I might use trees and flowers lining vertical pathways (which is most of the paths), but I'm also unsure of what I want to do with horizontal pathways, because trees can block your vision.

I think the flowers lining the vertical pathways will be nice, as for the horizontal paths, you could put different public work projects near horizontal pathways if you wanted, like a bench or something of those sorts?
