Adding a Beautiful Walkway to Your Home

A nice walkway can truly help your home and lawn standout, and can add a great deal of beauty and elegance. At North American Deck & Patio, we’ve added many walkways to properties across the great state of Maryland, and wanted to talk about some different design ideas to help you add a beautiful walkway to your Maryland home.

Lay Out Bricks in a Pattern

A standard brick walkway may not exactly scream elegance, but that doesn’t mean beauty can’t be found within a brick walkway. Bricks can be laid out in many different patterns, with the only limit being your imagination. Additionally, you can use different colored bricks, or seek out aged or weathered bricks, for a rustic look.

Ornate Concrete Pavers are a Great Option

A walkway doesn’t necessarily have to be continuous, instead it can be a series of stepping stones. Standard concrete pavers can be dull, but did you know that they come in a variety of different designs? Artisan stonemasons craft concrete pavers with some of the most beautiful designs imaginable.

Sand and Stone is a Very Stylish Choice You Have

We’ve built a lot of sand and stone walkways over the years, and they always turn out looking great. Unique slabs of stone will be laid out in the form of a walkway, and sand is poured in and tamped down. It’s always important to ensure a sand and stone walkway is properly reinforced on the sides, or else the process of erosion could begin to chip away at your home’s beautiful walkway.

Wood Can Give You a Natural Look

Cutting a tree, so that the pieces of wood are circular, will provide you with the perfect “stepping stones” for your home’s walkway. If you want a natural, yet extremely beautiful walkway on your lawn, wood slices are one of the best ways to go. Every tree is a little bit different, and will have a different number of rings, meaning you also have a unique walkway.

Create a Mosaic Out of Pebbles

This might be one of the most difficult to design and create, but is also one of the most beautiful. You could make your design as simple or intricate as possible, and also have the option of choosing what kind of pebbles or stones you’d like to use. If you want to have a stone/pebble mosaic walkway added to your home, expect both a good deal of design time, and an extremely beautiful walkway.
