Tips for Improving Your Walkway

Boost your home’s accessibility and overall appeal with a better front walkway design. Get tips for improving your walkway in this video by Better Homes and Gardens:

Front walkways join public right-of-ways and private spaces. Safely guide guests to your door with a clear level walkway. A width of 3-4 feet allows two people to travel side-by-side.

Choose walkway materials that match those on your home’s exterior. Own a brick home and want a quick fix? Frame any style walkway with bricks that match or complement your home.

Use a walkway to underscore a home’s architectural style. If your home is contemporary, restate its modern leanings with large pavers resting in beds of riverstone.

Instead of a typical pathway leading straight to your front door, use a winding route that invites guests to enjoy the journey. Show off your landscaping and frame a gently curving walk with lush plantings.

When well maintained and crisply edged, even the most straightforward concrete sidewalk enhances a home’s accessibility and appeal.
