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.

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.
