Walks and Stairs in LandscapeWalks and stairs allow access to the house and to other landscaped areas. Material for walkways is also called paving. Stone Paving is a natural product that can be laid in intricate formal patterns or in a very rough and rustic "garden" design. Cobblestone or "Belgian Block" have been used for street paving for centuries and have now found their way into the residential landscape. Brick Pavers are a traditional paving material in New England. Many sidewalks in our major cities are made of brick. Concrete Pavers by Belgard, Techo-Bloc and Ideal are relatively new products. Their uniformity of size and variety of shapes make them an attractive, lower cost alternative to other paving materials.
Stairs are constructed by forming concrete or by using brick or stone to shape them. They are then usually capped by treads, which are thinner slabs that form the walking surface. Another extremely durable and less labor intensive way to make stairs is to stack full thickness stone on top of each other. |
