Patios, Pavers, Paths & Walkways

Connecting your landscape





Stone Walkway


Adding a garden path to your landscape can both look good and provide useful functionality. Walkways in your landscape are used in many ways.

• Connect the front yard to the back yard
• Provide access from patios to gates and/or a side yard
• Tie one patio to another
• Lead from your driveway to your front door

Crushed gravel path

The cost conscious client may opt for a crushed gravel path. Fine gravel compacts very tightly and works almost as well as concrete at a fraction of the price.

Slate Walkways

Natural stone adds beauty and value to your home. There are different installation styles and foundation installation options:

• Stepping Stones- Individual pieces of slate are set for ease of walking. You may add steppables in the joints of a stepping stone pathway. Steppables are ground covers that tolerate foot traffic. They come in different varieties for shade or sun with varying tolerances to foot traffic.
• Stepping Stones with Narrow Joints- Used for pathways 3 or more feet wide this is the best option.

Foundation Options
• Sand set path, 2’ of compacted sand base and sand between joints. This installation is simpler and costs less.
• For a more durable installation we put a 5” compacted gravel base beneath and use polymer sand in the joints. The result is a mortared look that helps keep weeds and insects out.

Pavers

For a more formal appearance, you may prefer a pathway made from pavers. Pavers come in many colors and sizes with beveled or straight edges. Large pavers, called Architectural Slabs, usually sized at 24”, 18” and 12” squares are available in limited colors.

Retaining Walls

Retaining walls not only offer a solution to slopes and hillsides, but they have many more possibilities. When constructed of stone, retaining walls blend into the landscape. Concrete block walls offer a different effect, usually more bold. Both, when professionally installed, are durable and last for a long time.

Boulders & Rock

Natural boulder settings can be a beautiful accent to your yard as well as a necessary part of your landscape. The use of stone in your landscape creates a natural feel or dramatic interest. Stones partner naturally with foliage and water.

Steep Slopes

Do you have a steep slope in the area you wish to landscape? Boulders mixed with plantings can substitute for a retaining wall and can retain slopes in a more natural way.

Dry Stream Beds

You might add boulders and rock to your landscape as dry stream beds.

Detailed grading of the site, assures proper drainage of water away from your home or building.
