Patios, Walkways and Stone Walls

Meet

First, we get acquainted over the phone. During the call, we get a feel for the scope of work, like how much of your yard the patio would take up or how long a flagstone walkway you would need.

Discuss

After the site visit, your designer builds a proposal with a scope of work and estimates on materials and labor. You give your feedback, and the landscape designer drafts detailed drawings of your new patio or driveway or stone wall. This personalized landscape design will lay out exactly what materials and labor will be needed, and it forms the basis for the contract.

Maintain

After the installation, we’ll review the project and ensure you’re delighted with the work. Then our experts will recommend a maintenance program to keep your new patio looking its best.

Walkways That Unify Your Space

Walkways are often overlooked in landscape design. At Johnson’s, we know the critical role they play in increasing your useable space and boosting your curb appeal.

Walkways transition from your artificial space to your natural space. They connect your landscaping features into a cohesive whole. A walkway extends the useable space on your property, so you get the most out of your money. They give you easy access to your gardens, gazebos, ponds and other yard features. And they let you enjoy your yard even after inclement weather. No more sloshing through mud.

At Johnson’s our versatile masons can build with whatever material best suits your needs. We can build a flagstone walkway, a paver walkway, a gravel walkway or even a grass walkway.

A walkway defines your garden. It gives you obvious boundaries and routes while emphasizing focal points. A garden path allows much easier garden maintenance, and it boosts your sight lines.

Driveways And Steps Tie It All Together

Driveways are the first entranceway most visitors to your property see. Your driveway cuts a wide swath through your property and plays a large role in how your home looks from the street. You want it to match your other landscaping while remaining sturdy enough to support your cars for decades.

At Johnson’s, we typically recommend paver driveways. Pavers give you much, much more flexibility in terms of look and style. You can synchronize the look of your driveway with your home, steps, gardens, and landscaping.

Paver driveways are easier to maintain than concrete driveways. While concrete driveways may crack and require extensive work, pavers hold together much better. And if a paver does crack, it’s easy to replace that single paver rather than the whole driveway.

Paver driveways also look better than standard concrete driveways. Pavers come in a lot of colors, so they give your driveway a unique look that your neighbors will envy. 

We also build steps to fit any need. Stairs are a complex project that homeowners can’t tackle on their own. Landing areas have to be level with one another, steps have a very small window of acceptable heights, and stairs can’t slope too much or too little.

Our masons have built hundreds of stairs and know well the math that needs to be done and the precautions they have to take to ensure that your steps are safe and up to code.
