Concrete Walkway Design Options

Concrete is a very popular material for walkways because of its versatility. Concrete can be colored and textured to mimic natural stone, tile, brick and more. A concrete walkway can be personalized to suit your home and your tastes. 

Many installers think of decorative concrete walkways as more than just a way to get from point A to B, rather they are a chance for artistic expression.

If you have existing concrete walkways that are boring and grey, don't worry. You can take advantage of products that allow the concrete to be transformed into something unique and decorative that will add to your home's curb appeal or backyard living space.

Concrete Walkway Design Options:

• Straight or curved
• Limitless color options through stains or integral colors
• Stamped or saw-cut designs and textures
• Decorative borders
• Exposed aggregate

For a more contemporary walkway, concrete can be poured in oversized pavers. This creates the look of giant stepping stones. Typically shapes such as rectangles or circles are used to create a bold geometric pattern. The spaces between the poured concrete pavers can be seeded with grass or a low ground cover to bring life and color to the walkway.

Straight Path
A straight design gives the visitor a formal entry that leads them right to your front door.This design consists of 4’ by 4’ squares of concrete laid in a straight direction, creating a pattern and leading you to the entry.

Stamped Concrete
Stamping concrete will transform a standard slab of concrete to look like natural stone or pavers. This curved concrete walkway is stamped and stained which emphasizes the stone veneer throughout the façade. The warm brown tone of the stain is an ideal fit with the color pallet of the homes hardscape. The stamping adds an additional touch of detail to the entry, guiding your eye from the walkway to the veneer stone column and up to the entry. The seamless texture stamp ties the design together, not leaving behind the small details that define a successful design.

Decorative Borders
Adding a border to your concrete walkway can change the look drastically from an average slab to a one of a kind path. In this cottage style entry, the brick border contributes to the character of the home. Many materials can be used as a border such as: stone, flagstone, slate, wood, etc. It is also common to see a border of concrete; however, it’s stamped or stained to add variation and interest. This brick border is a perfect addition to the patriotic theme of this home and suggests that the homeowners pay attention to details. It’s always nice to add a special touch especially to your entry.

Curved Path
A curved concrete path gives an informal, organic entry to homes. The large sweeping curve allows visitors to be guided through your front yard landscaping and gives them a chance to get a good look at the front of your home. The curved walkway of this home is bordered with brilliant lavender and trees which extenuate the curve. Imagine how this landscape will look in 10 years with the trees forming a canopy to the entry, and the matured lavender spilling over the planting bed leading your eye right to the front door. This walkway breaks up the homes traditional, geometric style with its organic form, and provides an impressing contrast.
