Paths and Patios

Walkways and Patios

If the ultimate goal of landscaping is to make an outdoor living space, then a walkway or patio might become an essential part of your overall landscape. Walkways and patios are often grouped together, but serve two different purposes within the landscape.

A walkway is used to move from one place to another. This in itself can take on a number of different functions. Walkways can be built from the driveway to the front door, can transport foot traffic from the front to the back of a house, or they can be used for a casual stroll in the garden. A patio, however, is typically found in the backyard and is mainly used as a place for people to congregate and relax.

The number of different uses for paths and patios leads to a number of different building methods and materials. The first major distinction in building materials is the use of a prefabricated concrete material or natural stone. As with any choice, there are pros and cons to each material.
