Landscape Walkways

Paver, stone and concrete walkways that connect doors, driveways, patios and gardens with smooth, safe and good-looking paths.

A walkway is where a yard begins. It guides guests from the driveway to the door, links the patio to the garden and keeps feet out of the mud. A well planned path has gentle curves or clean lines, a surface that is comfortable to walk on and drainage that sends water away. Nashville owners build walkways for curb appeal, safety and convenience.

Your designer walks the route with you, notes slopes, steps, trees and utilities and plans width, shape and surface. Pavers, natural stone, stamped concrete or gravel can be used. The crew excavates, compacts a base, installs edge restraint, sets the surface and finishes the borders. Lighting and planting can be added. The scope covers the base depth, drainage and any steps. Width matters more than people expect. A path that allows two people to walk side by side feels generous, and a slight crown or slope keeps water from pooling after storms.

Width and shape

Paths wide enough for two people look generous, and gentle curves or straight lines follow the architecture of the house.

Base and drainage

A compacted stone base and a slight cross-slope keep the walkway firm and let water run off.

Surface choices

Pavers, stone, stamped concrete and gravel each have a look and upkeep, and we match the choice to the house.

Safe steps and lights

Even risers, non-slip surfaces and low path lights make walkways safer after dark.

Questions

Landscape Walkways FAQ

How wide should a walkway be?

A front walk is often about four feet wide, enough for two people to pass. We size it to the house.

Can a walkway be built on a slope?

Yes, with gentle grades, landings and steps where needed, and handrails for steeper routes.

What surface is best?

It depends on style, budget and upkeep. Pavers and stone are flexible and repairable, and concrete is smooth and economical.

Do walkways need drainage?

Yes. A slight slope and a good base keep water moving off the surface.

Can I add path lighting?

Yes, low-voltage lights can be planned with the path.
