Pathways and Walkways

Pathways and Walkways

There is a distinction between walkways and pathways, which serve different purposes and require different designs. Walkways, such as those leading from the front door to the garage or from the patio to the driveway and are typically more formal. A width of 4 to 6 feet is our recommendation for these walkways.

On the other hand, pathways are designed to be inviting, relaxing, and enjoyable. For a garden path, a width of 3 to 4 feet is recommended. 

The choice of materials for walkways and pathways is vast. For walkways, durable and safe materials like stone on a concrete pad or tightly fitted pavers are excellent choices. In a garden setting, materials like river gravel, mulch, stepping stones, and flagstone can add to the atmosphere.
