Why Choose A Walkway in South Florida

Even a professional landscape designer may overlook the importance of a walkway in designing an outdoor space. However, a well-built, meticulously installed pathway can add to both the aesthetics and function of your landscape. The advantages include:

• Easy entertaining: Let’s say you already have a patio in place, a refreshing inground pool, or some bricks laid for your barbecue. Placing an established pathway or walkway connects the dots between those areas and the other elements of your landscape, as well as your home. It just makes it easier to get from place to place. You and your guests will enjoy having clearly defined pathways when spending time outside.
• Curb appeal: A professionally installed, creative natural walkway is an attractive addition that raises your property value. Better Homes & Gardens writes, “Well-designed walkways make your home feel warm and inviting. For a dramatic improvement to a straight concrete path, replace it with a contoured walkway made of stone or brick. For a less radical upgrade to your curb appeal, apply a colored concrete resurfacer to the old walkway, then edge with brick or stone borders.” Indeed, curb appeal is something Florida homeowners take very seriously, and a walkway made of natural stone is an effective way to address it.
• Safety: Whether you’re the one traipsing through your yard or a delivery person or postal worker is approaching your door, using an established path is much safer than just walking through grass. Paved walkways help protect yourself and your guests from injuries that may occur as a result of a trip and fall accident.
• Versatility: Looking to create a welcoming area for people to explore your lawn or garden? Maybe you’re wanting to create an established pathway to your paver patio or lanai. Perhaps you want to highlight a particularly attractive area of your yard. A natural walkway adds functionality, beauty, and charm and solves many common landscaping woes. And since there are so many ways to achieve it, you can be sure the walkway we design will seamlessly incorporate into your existing landscape design.
