Walkway Construction

Why Build a New Walkway?

Curb Appeal

Walkways are a versatile way to add a distinctive design component to an otherwise ordinary yard. They can be used to surface a patio, garden area, front yard, or back yard! Since we offer such a large variety of materials, designs, colors, sizes, layouts, and patterns, you can even separate various areas of your walkway. For example, one design can be used for the grill cooking and dining area, and there can be a completely different design for the relaxing area. Johnson’s Landscaping knows how to make the front and back of your house complement each other and flow together seamlessly. We know which design elements work together so that your new walkway will not look choppy. We will listen to your ideas and discuss how we can bring your vision to life in an elegant way!

Walkways also allow room for creativity! A winding path can be created. This can lead people into the yard to encourage exploration of the outdoors or simply to get from one part of the yard to another. You can also decorate them and accent the path any way you want. Plants are a lovely example of this. They can be used to define the borders of a walkway. You can create different bundles of plants with differences in height to emphasize the walkway and make it enjoyable. For example, you can place some large flowering shrubs at the end of the walkway, one on each side, to lead toward your front door and point visitors in the right direction!

Affordability

Although walkways come in a wide variety of price ranges, for the most part, there are great options for any budget! Each material is different, and we ensure that homeowners are able to find something to fit their budget, as well as their style, by offering various walkway building materials. Walkways are also affordable because, especially with Johnson’s Landscaping, they last long. An extra benefit is that installing a walkway can add value to your home for any potential buyers.

Safety

Are you looking for a stable surface for your loved ones to walk on? Walkways are a safe option that provide security by being extremely sturdy and easy to walk on. They are also very useful for children. Walkways can teach them what areas on the property are safer and what areas are off-limits. It can also be used as a smooth surface for your child to play on. Imagine teaching your child how to ride a bike without the fear of surrounding cars! It is also easier to transport items, either on a cart or by carrying them, without potential obstacles in the way.

A reservation many people have with walkways is that they can become slippery when wet. However, we want your children and elderly family members to be as safe as possible! We offer slip-resistant materials, such as pavers, to provide a stable surface for your loved ones to walk on safely, even when the walkways are wet. Walkways can also be safe for your yard and the environment. If requested, we can use sand in between the joints of the material we use. This creates a permeable hard surface, allowing water to sink into the ground rather than run off into the sewers.
