Why a real path

Stop walking through the rock bed.

Most yards already have a path. It is the worn line through the gravel from the gate to the trash cans, or the dirt track out to the back patio.

A built walkway puts a firm surface on that route, keeps rock and mud off your shoes during monsoon season, and gives the yard a clear line to follow. On caliche and clay soil, it also stops foot traffic from wearing a rut that holds water.

What goes into every walkway
Walkway types

Paths for every part of the yard.

These are six walkway jobs we see often around Chandler homes. Front entries and side yards come up the most.

The material usually follows the rest of the yard. Pavers match a paver patio, flagstone and decomposed granite suit a desert front yard, and concrete keeps a side yard path simple.

01

Paver walks to the front door, planted along the sides as they go in.

02

Side yard stepping stones

Flagstone set into gravel so the side yard stays walkable.

03

Poured walks, plain or colored, for a simple clean line.

04

Stone pads set into turf or rock for a lighter, open path.

05

Compacted DG for a natural trail through desert planting.

06

Short runs that link the patio to the turf, the fire pit or the gate.

Not sure where the path should go?

Show us how you move through the yard. We will mark a route on the ground and price it on the same visit.

Pricing a path

Every linear foot, measured on site.

Walkway pricing depends on length, width and turns, so we walk the route with a tape. We check the grade along the way, note any steps, and give you a written walkway quote.

Walking it also shows where the path crosses sprinkler lines, drip tubing or a low spot that floods after rain. We plan around those before we dig, not after.

The install

Building a path, step by step.

A path gets walked on more than almost anything else in the yard. The base and the edges are what keep it from wandering.

Walkway installation in Chandler follows the same order no matter the material. The route gets marked, the base gets compacted with a plate compactor, and the edges get locked before the job is called done.

01

Mark the route

Line painted or staked where you walk.

02

Dig the path

Sod, rock or dirt removed to depth.

03

Base and slope

Base compacted with a fall for water.

04

Lay the surface

Pavers, stone, concrete or DG placed.

05

Edge and finish

Borders set, surroundings cleaned up.

Where it leads

A path needs somewhere to go.

Walkways work best when they connect to something worth walking to. We often build the path along with the patio, the rock beds and the plantings around it.

Desert landscaping with agave, palo verde and decorative rock frames a walkway well and keeps water use low. A few path lights make it safe to use after dark.

What it costs

Four things that price a walkway.

Walkways are quoted per job after we walk the route. These are the four things that move your quote up or down.

A straight concrete walk to the side gate and a curving flagstone path through a desert front yard are both walkways. They take very different amounts of time and material.

Length and width

Longer and wider paths use more material and more base.

Straight or curved

Curves and turns mean more cuts in pavers or stone.

Material

DG and gravel cost less than pavers, flagstone or travertine.

Grade and steps

A path that climbs may need steps or a short wall along one side.

All four show up on your written quote.

Slick landscaping did a great job transforming our yard. Zach was professional and kept us updated throughout the process. Pricing was very reasonable for the quality of work. They completed everything quickly and efficiently. The final result looked clean and well done. Communication was excellent the whole time. I would definitely use them again.

Best landscapers I’ve ever had! I live in an HOA with very strict rules and they did an absolutely fabulous job. So thankful to have found them. Each of their employees are extremely hard working and even go above and beyond wiping off patio furniture and making every part of the front/backyard presentable. Can’t wait to see them again!

We’ve been working with CGL for nearly a year now, and they’ve been incredible. They helped us get our irrigation system back on track after our previous landscaper severely dropped the ball. Additionally, anytime we had an emergency leak, they were on-site within a few hours at most. Their responsiveness, professionalism, and quality of work have been outstanding. It's also nice to work with someone like Jose and can answer all of your questions and explain everything in such detail to ensure you understand the issue(s) at hand. Highly recommend!

I recently hired CGL Landscaping for sod installation at my home in Phoenix, and they did a fantastic job. From the initial consultation to the final touches, their professionalism and expertise were evident. They prepared the soil and installed high-quality, lush sod that transformed my yard. CGL Landscaping's attention to detail and customer service set them apart. They ensured proper irrigation, provided aftercare instructions, and even followed up to check on the sod's progress. The project was completed on time and within the estimated timeframes Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with CGL Landscaping. Their commitment to quality and outstanding customer service have earned my trust and future business. I highly recommend them for any landscaping needs in the Phoenix area.

CGL Landscaping has been great to work with. We reached out to Jose to get an estimate for a one time clean up and monthly service. Jose and Alan showed up the next day to provide an estimate for both services. We elected to move forward with CGL and the clean up crew was out the following day to complete services. Two weeks later, the monthly maintenance crew showed up to complete our first monthly service. Invoicing and payment is easy through an online portal. Jose and Alan were both responsive throughout the process and were accessible via text, email or phone call. So far we are very pleased with our services through CGL and would recommend them to anyone looking for landscaping services.

CGL landscaping made the process super easy from start to finish. Jose came out quickly to give me a proposal and I got it the same day. Scheduling was also very easy, and my project was done on time. Would recommend CGL to anyone if you’re looking for great work and great customer service.

I used to use another landscaping company and they never did the job right, along with that the communication was not there, never got returned calls and it was impossible to reach someone. Then I found CGL Landscaping. They were quick to come out for a free estimate and communication was always and still there. One of the office workers, Alan, is always there to answer and if he doesn't, he is quick to respond. Thank you CGL for 3 great years and many more to come!

SUPER TOP NOTCH COMPANY Best experience, Jose was kind and understanding of my situation. I had LNR landscaping put in synthetic turf in my front yard, did a horrible job. After months of trying to get them to come back, after they’ve been paid in full to fix it. They stopped returning phone calls , never kept set appointments to come and fix it. I called Jose and they blew me away, they came right away, crew was all friendly and got the job done quickly. They went above and beyond I was just thinking they to fix what was there but the job was so bad they removed it all and replaced the whole area. Definitely will recommend to everyone I know. Thanks Jose and team that came today you made my nightmare a beauty that I can now enjoy when I walk out my door.

I worked with Jose and his team and found them to be professional, courteous and trustworthy. My yard looks amazing. Jose was patient with me as I made a few changes from my original design. The trees they planted are looking healthy as well as the flower bed, Jose offered to provided care to my front yard and it turned out awesome. He also offered to made a nice area for my dog it turned out great. My plan is to continue with CGL Landscaping for maintenance. Thank you Jose for a job well done. Linda Coolidge, AZ

I rarely, if ever, write reviews let alone give someone a 5-star rating unless they REALLY deserve it. We interviewed 4 landscaping companies before we selected Creative Green Landscaping. We chose them because they were very knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable from our very first meeting. Jose (the owner) made it clear that our satisfaction was their number one goal. He definitely followed through and they did a beautiful job. They started the work immediately and throughout the project they showed up early and stayed late. They worked hard and provided quality work. When we decided last minute to make changes, they were flexible and helpful. We have had our fair share of negative contractor experiences, so we appreciate good and honest firms like Creative Green Landscaping. We highly recommend them for your project.
Questions

Walkway questions.

Still wondering about something? Bring it up on the free site visit and we will walk through it with you.

Most walkway questions from Chandler homeowners are about width, materials and drainage. These are the ones we hear most.

Wide enough for the way it gets used. A side yard path to the trash cans can be narrower than a front walk where two people walk side by side, and we mark a width on site so you can see it before we dig.

Not if each stone sits on a compacted base instead of loose rock. We set them firm and spaced for a normal stride.

It works well for a natural path through desert planting and costs less than hard surfaces. It does need an edge to hold it and some topping up over time.

It can. We give the path a slight slope so water runs off it, and we check where side yard runoff goes before we build, since a path should never trap water against the house.

Usually, yes. If the patio pavers are still available we can match them, and if not, we will suggest a border or a contrasting material that looks planned.

Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, Queen Creek, Ahwatukee and San Tan Valley are all regular spots for us. If you live past those, call and we will let you know.

Where we work

Walkway installs across Chandler and the East Valley.

From our Chandler base we build paths all through the East Valley. Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, Queen Creek, Ahwatukee and San Tan Valley are all in range.

Front yard walkways in HOA neighborhoods often need to match approved materials. We can work from your association guidelines so the new path fits the street.

Materials

Pick the surface underfoot.

Each walkway material has its own look, feel and price. We will help you choose based on the route and the rest of the yard.

In the Sonoran Desert, a lot of homeowners go with flagstone or decomposed granite for a natural look. Pavers and concrete suit a cleaner, more finished front entry.

/01

Clean and uniform, easy to curve, and repairable one piece at a time.

/02

Flagstone

Irregular natural stone for stepping stones or a solid path.

/03

Smooth and simple, with color or stain as options.

/04

A compacted, natural trail with a soft look.

PATHS
By the numbers

A Chandler family company.

CGL is a Chandler business owned by one family. The crew that digs and lays your walkway is our own, and they finish the area around it before they leave.

We also handle rock, plants, irrigation and turf. So the path does not get left with torn up edges while you wait on another contractor to show up.
