Considerations for Landscape Walkway Design
Width
A well-designed landscape walkway should offer ample space for two people to comfortably walk side-by-side. For a front entry walkway, a minimum width of four feet is acceptable, but a width of 5 feet is even better, providing a more spacious and welcoming path. The width of secondary walkways can be adjusted based on their location in the yard, allowing for flexibility in design and functionality.
Shape
In small yards, straight walkways tend to be more beneficial, offering simplicity and maximizing the use of space. While curved sidewalks can add visual interest, they often convey a more informal aesthetic. It's essential not to overdo curves, as it might detract from the overall look. Consider the architectural style of the home—emphasizing the front entry may be best achieved with a straight walkway. Conversely, for larger gardens, a meandering walkway could be just right, adding a sense of charm and harmony to the landscape.
Materials
When selecting materials for your walkway, let the home's aesthetic guide your choice. If the home features red brick, consider using pavers in a similar color to create a seamless appearance. For natural stone, steppers, or gravel, keep in mind that poured concrete or pavers offer a more solid and safer walking surface compared to steppers or gravel. In regions with cold climates like Minnesota, pavers are less prone to cracking but may present challenges in clearing snow and ice. It's essential to balance aesthetics with practical considerations when making material decisions for your walkway.
For constructing a patio that stands the test of time, we meticulously assess critical aspects of the property, including water mitigation, soil composition, and design. Our primary focus during construction is on establishing a robust foundation to minimize movement and settlement. Given the unpredictable nature of Calgary’s weather, our goal is to ensure that our patios are resilient enough to withstand the dramatic climatic variations. Let us turn your landscaping dreams into reality!
