Walkways and Steps

Walkways and sidewalks are paths to particular destinations within your yard. Just like patios, they can be made of stone or manmade materials. You can use steppers as a walkway, or use pavers for a more continuous surface. Walkways can be straight, angular, or curvilinear.

Outdoor steps and stairways can be made of stone or manmade materials. They can be smooth and regular, to more natural and irregular in design. 5-7"H exterior steps are the norm. However, some cities have very particular codes with regards to the height and/or variance in height, or overall change in thickness of steps. It is best to keep steps the same size, thickness, and number grouped together. If there are more than two outdoor steps together, you will need a railing.
