Hardscape installations add depth and functionality to your landscaping. Hiring a masonry contractor to install a stone walkway benefits the aesthetic appearance of your yard while creating a path through your garden of flowers, trees, and shrubbery. Check out the list below to learn about the advantages of adding these pathways to your landscape.

What Are the Perks of Stone Walkways?

1. Protection

Adding a hard surface to walk through your yard or garden has a safety benefit. It provides an even surface to walk across, keeping your household members and guests from traversing uneven and natural terrain. This makes it less likely for people to slip, trip, and fall outside, making your yard safer to explore.

Creating a clear walkway for people to pass through also protects your flowers, bushes, and grass since keeping people on designated paths prevents them from stomping through your carefully planted landscaping. 

2. Durability and Easy Maintenance

Stone walkways are heavy-duty, making them more durable than weaker materials against sunlight and natural wear and tear. They can handle heavy foot traffic without suffering from diminished quality. When paver stones are damaged or stained, a masonry contractor can easily replace the individual piece without having to touch the rest of the stone walkway.

3. Natural Appearance

Stone walkways have a natural look to them, causing them to blend cohesively with any landscaping look. You can pair them with other stone fixtures, such as fountains, ponds, and other stone accents to make a beautiful and classic home exterior. You can choose dark masonry, light-colored stone, or make it a mix of the two to blend with other elements in your garden.
