What should I do with this path?

[Stella-Io]

So Treehut is a Rune Factory themed town, and I'm trying to design my own path system for it. I don't want an entire 8 set of QRs, so I've designed a one piece repeating QR. I'm not sure if I should go with wood (like in pic) or stone, and I feel the design is lacking something. I've added a little square tile in the center (not seen in pic oops), but I feel it needs to look fuller. My main inspiration comes from the paths in RF Frontier.

Got any suggestions?

What type of bridges do you have in your town? I see you have wood elements, but that's also a good factor to base it on.

Also, if you were to add texture to the grass section and some dirt around the wood section, it may help it pop more.

I currently have suspension bridges, but I may have to change them to the zen bridge. The other wood arched one, I forget what's it's called.

Yeah the flat green grass def isn't there to stay, I just needed somethin to put there so it wouldn't look so weird. I'm bad with grass textures, so maybe a dirt QR path would be more the way to go.
