Setting the Expectation
A walkway is the first thing a visitor walks on and the line that ties the yard together. It sets the expectation for the rest of the property. Whether it is a grand front entry walkway leading to your door or a quiet garden path winding through the beds, it needs to be built solid and look like it belongs there. We build curved, durable paths in materials that match the patio and the house.
We do not just scrape the grass and throw down some pavers. A good walkway takes the same heavy duty base prep as a driveway or a patio. We manage the grade so it steps down a slope naturally, and we can prep channels for path lighting so the finished product looks clean and professional. We handle every detail from the first dig to the final sweep of sand.
How We Build It Right
- Proper Excavation: Digging 8 to 12 inches to remove unstable soil.
- Compacted Aggregate Base: Creating a rock solid foundation that prevents the walk from shifting over time.
- Layout and Curves: Carefully planning curved versus straight layouts to match the flow of the yard.
- Step Integration: Seamlessly building steps into the path to handle sloped properties safely.
- Lighting Channel Prep: Planning ahead for low voltage lighting runs beneath the hardscape.
- Edge Restraints: Heavy duty bordering to keep the pavers from spreading outward.
- Pattern and Border: Soldier courses and custom laying patterns to match adjacent patios.
- Polymeric Sand: Locking the joints to stop weed growth and washouts.
