The walkway leading up to your home, in addition to the pathways located on your property, not only safely guide you to where you’re walking, they’re also important parts of your home’s curb appeal. They both provide usable walking space on your property, which is an added benefit for resale value.
Different walkway and pathway materials can complement landscaping and provide a focal point within your yard, but they have different uses and design needs.
The differences between walkways and pathways are the following:
- Walkways are made of hardscape materials while loose materials make up pathways
- Walkways have larger widths
- Pathways usually have a more natural design and blend into the landscaping
Below are some ideas for materials to use for both your walkways and pathways.
Walkways
- Brick Pavers
- Natural Stone
- Poured Concrete
- Concrete Pavers
- Stamped Concrete
- Pebble
Pathways
- Gravel
- Stock Pavers
- Mulch
- Stepping Stones
- Wood
