Walkways that lead somewhere.
Front and back paver walkways in straight, curved or patterned layouts, built on a compacted base with firm edges and gentle drainage.
- Typical width: 36 to 48 in.
- Base: 4 to 6 in. compacted stone
- Cross slope: About 1/8 to 1/4 in. per foot
What it is, and why it matters.
A walkway is used every day, so it needs to be comfortable, safe and good looking. We lay out the path for natural movement, set widths for two people to walk side by side, build a compacted base deeper than most crews bother with and edge it so it never spreads. Borders, curves and pattern changes make a plain path into an entrance.
In Nashville, front walks often cross sloped lawns, meet steps or run along foundations where water collects. We plan the grade, add steps or landings where the slope calls for them and slope the surface so rain moves away from the house rather than toward it.
Four things done right.
Comfortable width
Sized for two people, not a tightrope.
Edges that hold
Restraint keeps the path from spreading.
Water moves away
Slope planned for rain and runoff.
Style that fits
Colors and patterns matched to the house.

Paver Walkways: common questions
Can you replace my cracked concrete walk?
Yes. We remove the old walk, fix the base and drainage and install pavers or stone that can be repaired later if the ground ever moves.
How wide should a walkway be?
Three to four feet is typical for a front walk, wide enough for two people. We can go wider for entries and narrower for garden paths.
