Walks

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 & Bluestone, 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 and bluestone 1½ inches thick are 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.

New Landscaping & New Flagstone Walk with mostly Deer Resistant Plant Material – Paoli, Chester County, PA
Flagstone Walk Bordered with cobblestones – On this walk we cleaned and used the existing flagstone stepping stones. The cobblestones were used to help set off the walk and give the house a little more curb appeal. The inside cobblestone border is raised to help keep mulch off the walk. The outside border is even with the walk to allow for water to drain off of the walk. More on Landscaping of this house on our landscaping page.
