Walk Construction

 

Designing and constructing  walks in Philadelphia, Montgomery County,  Delaware County and the Main Line PA.  Specializing in many types of walks including those made of  Flagstone , E.P. Henry interlocking Pavers, and Brick.   Walks are blended into existing grade with a minimum of disturbance to surrounding lawns and gardens, and the proper pitch.
Pennsylvania flagstone 1½ inches thick is installed on a compacted based of modified and screened stone. Stones come in various shades of gray which may have tints of blue (bluestone), green, tan, brown, rust, and plum mixed with the gray.   We individually select the stones to insure quality and desired color range. Stones are also individually installed at the proper grade.
E. P. Henry concrete pavers are installed over a compacted base of modified stone, and tamped into of bed of sand.  Pavers come in a large range of colors and styles.  With so much variety, they can work with almost any project.   Pavers are made of concrete instead of clay and do not absorb as much water as traditional brick; therefore algae is not as much of a problem in shady areas as it can be with brick.  Click here to see best practices we use to construct a good walk as taught by EP Henry and used by the top Hardscapers and Landscapers.  Please view some examples of the various colors and different patterns of pavers that can be used on our Paver Colors Page. 
Paving brick is installed over a compacted base of modified and screened stone with many available patterns and styles.  Brick can be formed in a mold or wire cut during it formation for very different looks.  You can find more information on various types of brick on the
Glen-Gery web site.

Brick Walks

Brick offers a centuries old classic look that has proven it can pass the test of time.  Paving brick is installed over a compacted base of modified and screened stone with many available patterns and styles.  Brick can be formed in a mold or wire cut during it formation for very different looks.  You can find more information on various types of brick on the Glen-Gery web site.
Walks are blended into existing grade, with a minimum of disturbance to surrounding lawns and gardens, and the proper pitch.   Dimex edging can be used below grade to restrain edges of the brick.  Also shown in the photos below are bricks mortared vertically along the edges (solider bricks) as a restraint for the walk.  Cobble stones, flagstone or pressured treated ties can also be used as a border.   Basketweave, herring bone, running bond, or other patterns can be used.  Click here for additional Brick Walks.

Loose Stone  Walks

Informal walks can be made with small river stones or crushed stone.  A 1-inch layer of stone is installed over a compacted base of modified stone.  Thicker layers of stone or stones over 3/8 in. can be harder to walk on because of their loose nature.  Stones come in various natural colors.  River stones are smother than crushed stone and may be easier on bare feet, but both types of stone can work well.  These walks must be edged to keep stones in the walk.  They are less expensive to install but they can  be more difficult to maintain  because leaves and other debris can be hard to clean out of the walk.  Small children are sometimes attracted to these walks and like to move the stones.
