Pathways

Underscore the Unique Character of Your Louisiana Home with Custom Brick and Stone Pathways

Accentuate the parts of your property that matter most with the addition of winding brick sidewalks or curving stone pathways. Helping to enchant the pre-established environment, hardscaping features that allow for an easy view and an easy walk are beneficial in a host of ways. Walkways are attractive in both function and form, and may even raise the overall property value of a home by adding some high-quality equity. Investigate your landscape options by planning for the addition of a sidewalk or pathway in your landscape today.

What is the Difference Between a Pathway and a Sidewalk?

Although these two walkways may appear fairly similar in nature, the differences between pathways and sidewalks create an important distinction between public and private space. Pathways, especially brick pathways or footpaths, are highly personal spaces that are designed specifically for private use. Homeowners can enjoy the beauty and convenience of a winding, paved path that leads to a garden shed, garage, or outdoor patio without the wear and weathering from public use. Conversely, sidewalks are often found leading to the front or side door of a home, easily seen from the road. These paved spaces create some of the first impressions that visitors have of your property, and will make a significant impact on the emotional and physical value of the home. An exquisitely done stone or brick sidewalk will help to welcome friends and family into your home's special flavor of hospitality, and enhance the surrounding landscape in many ways.

Not all homeowners possess both pathways and sidewalks on their property, and some do without any altogether. However, these essential hardscapes serve crucial roles in the customization of homes all over Louisiana.

How Brick Sidewalks And Other Pathways Add Value to Your Home

Footpaths built for both curb appeal and personal use add much more value to a home than what can be measured with dollar signs. The addition of customized stone or brick pathways in your lawn not only benefit your life, but will continue to provide value through the enrichment of others throughout the years to come.

• Many hardscaped pathways, especially stone sidewalks, help to reduce the stress of constant activity from your grass and soil. Following an established path is an excellent way to cut down on dead grass spots, hard-packed soils, and stressed landscaping plants.

• By leveling the ground and providing a flat, even surface, stone pathways help to simplify grocery trips, bicycle journeys, and short treks from the home to the yard. Careful maintenance of these hardscapes will also drastically reduce your risks for slipping and falling.

• Stone sidewalks and brick pathways are a surprisingly efficient method of establishing garden beds and edges. Plant a row of small annuals or perennials to help pop out the style of your footpath as well as emphasize the unique character of your home.

From stone pathways to brick sidewalks, ensure that your lawn is designed with the greatest amount of value for you and your loved ones.

Is Brick or Stone Masonry the Best Material for My Yard?

Several design factors are present when debating between brick and stone pathways, especially aesthetic ones.

• Brick sidewalks are the perfect solution for the classic, established home.

• Stone sidewalks add a defined, linear lawn focal point that is perfect for modern homes.

• Brick is slightly better suited for homes with level ground, while stone is applicable to any soil type.
