Landscape Design — Pathways

Garden Pathways
& Walkways

Stonework, gravel walks, and permeable surfaces that move water back into the ground. Beautiful pathways that invite wandering and connect your outdoor spaces.

Paths that invite
exploration

A well-designed pathway does more than connect point A to point B. It shapes how you move through and experience your landscape, creating moments of discovery and encouraging you to spend time outdoors.

We design pathways that feel natural to the site, using materials and proportions that complement the surrounding landscape while providing safe, comfortable passage through all seasons.

Pathway Types

Natural Stone Paths

Flagstone or irregular stone set in gravel or planted joints, creating organic, timeless pathways.

Gravel Walks

Permeable crushed stone paths that provide excellent drainage while creating a soft, natural aesthetic.

Paver Walkways

Brick or concrete pavers in various patterns, offering durability and formal or informal aesthetics.

Stepping Stone Paths

Individual stones set in lawn or groundcover, creating informal routes through planted areas.

Mulch Paths

Wood chip or bark mulch paths that blend naturally into woodland or naturalistic garden settings.

Boardwalks

Elevated wooden walkways that navigate wet areas or sensitive plantings while providing unique perspectives.

Design Considerations

Proper Width & Scale

Primary paths should accommodate two people walking side by side, while secondary paths can be narrower and more intimate.

Drainage & Slope

Paths should have subtle cross-slope for drainage and avoid steep grades that become hazardous in winter.

Material Selection

Choose materials that complement your home's architecture and the surrounding landscape while providing safe footing.

Edge Treatment

Thoughtful edging keeps paths defined while allowing plants to soften the boundaries over time.
