A walkway does more than get you from point A to point B — it sets the tone for your entryway. Here are ideas to consider for your next walkway project.
Straight, curved, and stepping-stone-style walkways are all popular options, with broom, stamped, or exposed-aggregate finishes to match your home's style.
Straight & Simple
The Classic, Practical Choice
A straight, direct walkway is the most affordable and practical option, especially for connecting a driveway to a front door or side entrance. It's easy to shovel and maintain.
This style works well for most homes and doesn't compete with landscaping or architectural features.
Curved Walkways
Adding Visual Interest
A gentle curve can make a walkway feel more inviting and give it a chance to wind around landscaping, trees, or garden beds instead of cutting straight across the yard.
Curves take slightly more planning but don't typically add much to the cost of a straightforward pour.
Decorative Finishes
Stamped & Exposed-Aggregate Options
Stamped concrete can mimic flagstone or brick for a more upscale look, while exposed-aggregate gives a walkway a natural, textured surface that pairs well with garden and landscape settings.
These finishes cost more than standard broom finish but can significantly upgrade your entryway's curb appeal.
Width Considerations
How Wide Should a Walkway Be?
Standard walkways run 3 to 4 feet wide, comfortable for one person. If you want room for two people to walk side by side, or you're connecting a main entry, consider 4 to 5 feet.
We size the width based on how the walkway will actually be used, not just a standard default.

Connecting to Other Features
Tying Everything Together
Walkways often connect to driveways, porches, or patios, and we plan the height, slope, and finish so everything ties together instead of looking like separate projects.
If you're doing multiple concrete projects at once, matching finishes across them creates a more cohesive look.
