Walkways

Walkways

For many of us, following Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion, and the Tin Man down the yellow brick road was a time of family and creating everlasting memories. Today, create an invitation for new memories down a path of your own with a custom walkway. Gone are the days of the utilitarian one size fits all grey concrete slab. In form, function, and style, Deluxe Roofing & Construction can create a feature that is much more than a way of getting from one place to the next. Increase your property’s curb appeal with a dramatic path leading to your front door or garage and make walking to the pool and patio area more inviting. In 2018, the National Association of Realtors reported an 83% return on the cost of a walkway project.

Aside from creating an easier path to travel, especially in rough weather, a paver or brick walkway can flow into your existing landscape design and add an array of colors. They can also divert foot traffic away from frequently walked on surfaces that can wear out, like asphalt, and add a stable pathway from pools and hot tubs.

Two of the most common choices in walkway additions or remodels are pavers and bricks. Bricks are made from clay and are naturally colored. They retain their color better, especially when they are exposed to the sun’s UV rays. They can last a very long time, and as they age, even with chips or fading, they retain their classic charm. They require less maintenance than concrete pavers and often have been recycled, making them an eco-friendly choice. They tend to be more expensive than concrete pavers.

Concrete pavers come in many shapes, sizes, and colors. We can create a lovely mosaic that is a treat for the eyes or a uniform path of shape and color that extends the feel of your property. They are uniformly cut to make for an easier installation. They can require a bit more maintenance, and it is suggested to get them resealed annually. Whichever you choose, created a guided pathway with a paver border and built-in lights.

Another option that creates a beautiful, designed walkway is flagstone. You can choose from limestone, sandstone, quartzite, bluestone, and more. Some varieties come in at a lower initial cost than concrete pavers, but there is a lot of cutting involved, and labor costs are more. Smooth flagstone sits together seamlessly and reduces trip hazards.
