Classical™

  • The Classical™ 7 circuit labyrinth appeared on every continent in prehistory, from Peru to Siberia, India to Arizona, Africa to Scandinavia. Carbon dated to 1500 B.C.E. from a clay tablet in Syria, the design is probably 5,000 years old.

    Where and how the Classical labyrinth symbol developed is shrouded in mystery, but it seems likely that the labyrinth evolved from other universal symbol sets, including the circle, spiral, cross and meander. By association with the story of Theseus, Ariadne and the Minotaur, the Classical labyrinth is also known as the Cretan labyrinth. All of our standard designs incorporate the delicate 4.5 to 1 path to line ratio from our larger Chartres Replica. 
    Garden Labyrinth Templates make installation of a complex design paint-by-numbers easy! Prices include FedEx Ground shipping to the lower 48 states.
  • Landscape Fabric: Durable 1.5 oz. non-woven spun-bond polyester membrane which allows water and nutrients to reach plant root zones while suppressing weed growth.
    Printed Lines: We print the lines of each labyrinth design as a black outline on 6' wide panels of our white landscape fabric using the latest eco-friendly heat-set colorfast inks. The panels overlap slightly when joined and secured with the provided steel landscape staples.
    Installation: Simply prepare and level the labyrinth space, then lay down and stake the weed-blocking Garden Labyrinth Template™. Apply your line and path materials directly onto the precise geometric design of your Garden Labyrinth Template™, which will allow natural water drainage and also retard weed growth for years to come. The materials you choose are limited only by your imagination: stone, river rocks, brick, pavers, gravel, mulch, pine straw, bedding plants, turf grass sod and more!
