Reclaimed material can make a walkway or path feel dramatic and modern, while maintaining a rustic, weathered appearance. Antique stone and brick provide durable walking surfaces that integrate naturally with the surrounding space, and guide movement though a landscape while adding structure and visual interest.
Reclaimed granite offers a solid, well-defined path through outdoor spaces. Its natural strength and subtle surface variations makes it well suited for both formal approaches and everyday movement.
Cobblestone paths create texture, rhythm, form and movement within a landscape. The smaller units allow for gentle curves and organic flow through the most unique environments.
Larger format bluestone and sandstone provide broad, comfortable, welcoming walkways. These time-worn dimensional slabs are perfect for a classic approach to an entryway, or in a creative design with wide grass joints to connect landscape features.
Brick pavers are a versatile option for walkways. They can evoke charm, order, sophistication, or simplicity, depending on layout and landscape. Their smaller format allows for a variety of patterns, making them adaptable for both traditional and contemporary designs.
A compacted stone base with proper grading is essential. The exact base depth and construction depend on soil conditions, stone type, and whether the walkway will see light or frequent foot traffic. Grading and effective drainage will extend the life of your walkway, while maintaining a safe and attractive environment.
Sealing is optional. In many cases, reclaimed stone and brick perform well without sealers and are chosen for their natural surface qualities. Sealing may help reduce staining or simplify cleaning in certain environments, but it can also change the appearance. The decision depends on the material, location, and desired look.
Brick pavers were built for ground contact, foot traffic, and freeze–thaw conditions. They are dense and less likely to absorb water. Building bricks were designed for vertical walls. They are porous, and can crack or deteriorate when used in walkways. Using brick pavers ensures proper strength, durability, and long-term performance.
