Smooth, gentle routes for everyone.
Wide, firm, smooth walks and gently sloped ramps with tight joints and handrails, designed so wheelchairs, walkers and strollers move easily.
- Typical slope: Gentle, near 1:12 for ramps
- Width: 36 in. minimum, wider is better
- Surface: Smooth, tight joints
What it is, and why it matters.
Accessible routes need to be smooth, wide enough and gently graded. We design walks with firm, tight-jointed surfaces, cross slopes that drain without tipping a chair, landings at doors and ramps at slopes that follow common accessibility guidelines. Pavers, concrete or stamped surfaces can all work when built flat and well compacted.
We work with families planning for aging in place, mobility needs or a new baby and stroller. In Nashville's older neighborhoods, the entry grade and steps can be steep, so we measure carefully, explain options and coordinate railings where needed.

Accessible Walks & Ramps: common questions
Do ramps have to meet a code?
Residential ramps are not always subject to the same rules as public ones, but common accessibility guidelines are a good target. We design to them where space allows and explain trade-offs.
Can a ramp look good?
Yes. Stone, paver or stamped surfaces, planters and thoughtful landscaping make a ramp an attractive part of the entry.
