I say it should be okay to not ask landlord to plant a small narrow garden along the walkway, but my friend says I should ask the actual owner first.
Who is right? I mean, I know I'm renting, but it's easily fixable, isn't?

Whether it's 'easily' fixable or not. you would have to dig up the lawn where ever you place a plant. Your landlord may not be happy about that. Or maybe he will. The only way you'll know is to discuss it with him. How much time would a phone call take? It's the decent thing to do.

I think that you should ask first. Better safe than sorry!!
It might cost you more time and money than you think. And when you are moving out of a house is NOT when you want to start a time-consuming expensive project!
You landlord may prefer that you plant your garden in some other part of the yard.
And on the plus side -- your landlord may think that it is SUCH a good idea that he is willing to pay for the materials for your little garden!! You never know!
I was a landlord in the past and was often willing to pay for materials (or split the cost) if the tenant asked in advance!

Ask the owner about this. Your friend is right on this one. I don't think it's easily fixable, anyway. You'd have to replant grass or whatever was grown there in the first place, and it takes months to get vegetation established.

It is easier to ask for forgiveness then permission & do it anyways but I would still ask. Mine never had a problem with me planting.
I planted in there mulched areas. If you are doing perennials then get a galvanized tub drill a few holes in the bottom, fill them half way up with dirt & the rest with potting soil, & put your flowers in them. This way you can just pick them up & take them with you when you move.

you could keep plants in planters and not touch the lawn otherwise you really do have to ask the landlord

The lawn is not yours to "fix". It belongs to the landlord. You have to ask.

just ask the owner if its fine with them, most likely they will be fine with it as long as you expain to them what you want to do.
