Walkways and Paths
A good walkway is easy on the feet and easy on the eyes. We build front walks, side paths and garden trails in brick, pavers and stone, with proper base and drainage, a border that suits the house and steps wherever the ground demands.

About walkways and paths
How wide should a walkway be?
Front walks are often at least four feet wide so two people can walk together. We look at your yard and the look you want.
Can you fix a sunken path without rebuilding it?
Sometimes pavers can be lifted, the base re-leveled and the pavers laid again. We look before we promise.
What pattern is best?
Running bond is simple and strong, herringbone resists movement and basketweave is classic. We show you the options.
