​Stone walkways and steps are a beautiful and practical addition to any landscape. They provide an inviting path and an elegant entrance to your home or garden. Here are a few things to consider when planning your stone walkway or steps.

First, choose the type of stone that best suits your needs and aesthetic preferences. Natural stone, such as limestone or sandstone, is a popular choice for its durability and timeless beauty. Concrete pavers are another option that offer a wide range of colours and textures.

Next, consider the size and shape. A wider walkway allows for multiple people to walk side-by-side, while a narrower path can create a more intimate and cozy feel. Steps should be wide enough for comfortable foot placement and have a uniform height for safety.

The layout is also important. A straight path can create a more formal look, while a curved or meandering path can add a sense of whimsy and intrigue. Steps should be placed at a comfortable distance apart and follow a natural flow of movement.

Finally, consider the surrounding landscape and how your stone walkway or steps can complement it. Adding plants, flowers, or lighting along the path can enhance its beauty and functionality.

​At Masonry Oakville, we recently helped a homeowner in the West Oak Trails neighbourhood enhance their curb appeal with a custom stone walkway and steps. Their old concrete pathway was cracked and uneven, posing both a safety risk and an eyesore. Our team designed and installed a durable, stylish natural stone walkway that seamlessly blended with their landscaping, along with sturdy stone steps leading to the front entrance. Now, their home not only looks more inviting but also has a safer, more functional entryway. Whether you're in Glen Abbey, Bronte, or River Oaks, our expert stone walkway and step installation services can transform your outdoor space.

With careful planning and attention to detail, a stone walkway or steps can add a touch of elegance and practicality to your outdoor space.  For the assistance of professional masonry contractors in Oakville, consider contacting us at Masonry Oakville for a no-obligation consultation.
