I use tree surgeons shreddings for all paths.It generally can be sourced for beer (tokens). It rots quite quickly, part of this winters plan is to lift the paths,( down two seasons), chuck it on a barrow sieve, return the coarse to the path behind the barrow and spread the ‘compost texture’ to the planting areas on top of the seasons mulch of 3yr fym. It has produced a delightful assortment of toadstools, none of which I am confident of to eat.A further application of new to top up the path. This provides an ‘all weather’ surface without mud or slugs.
