This front entryway is just gorgeous with a flagstone walkway wrapping
around the corner past the rain barrel. The low stone retaining wall of
the same material compliments the walkway while providing a
great border
for a garden bed.

Stepping stone paths and walkways are an excellent opportunity to control the flow of traffic in and around your yard. Make sure you design them to be practical and functional.
Remember that you may have to mow in and around the stone pathway you design, so make your lines clean and easy to follow with a mower.
Also make sure that whatever they do, it is for a purpose. Don't make a lot of curves for no reason. A curve should flow around a tree, shrub or garden (not just because you want a curve).

Thanks so much, the Dream-yard Team.
A simple brick pathway flows right out of the patio to another place in
the yard. A matching brick border provides a great place for a small
garden to compliment the tree. It also makes for more practical mowing.

Manufactured stepping stone path walkway that is easy to install but
looks good. These round stepping stones lead to the back patio area.
Placing them
with the right spacing and offsetting them, is the key
achieving
the right look even with a manufactured product.

sitting area compliment the design.

There are not many things more pleasing and inviting to the landscaping
eye than stepping stone paths. Thyme plantings give life as well as
soften the look.

entry of a large house. A mix of earthtones in the manufactured brick
walkway match the brick in the house as well as the pavement in the
driveway.

gardens.

to be mowed
right over with the lawn mower.

the
walkway is simple yet effective.

Although this walkway is still under construction, you can visualize the
finished look with the beautiful fall colours and light. Notice how the
edge pieces have all been chosen first. This helps to
eliminate having
to cut any pieces.

considered a mosaic. It is bordered with manufactured blocks on end.

becoming very popular, as they have so much character and charm. No
edging or whipper snipper required. Just mow right over it.

Flagstone walkway leading up to front door steps. The step risers are
also made
of natural stone with some larger light coloured blocks mixed
in for character.
The actual surface is made up of the same flagstone
material as the walkway.

Cut flagstone walkway with small gaps (about 1 inch). That makes this
walkway fairly formal for walking on, yet the edges have been cut to
blend
into the beds that line them.

house is made. Decorative rock lines the inside of the walkway while

of flowers line the street side.

When laying flagstone walkways, always try to keep your gaps under 2
inches.
In this walkway, there are no excessively large gaps and stones
were not cut to fit. It takes time building a puzzle like this.

Weaving narrow walkways of flagstone are bedded in crushed rock. The
natural stone border is used to keep the gravel walkway materials from
migrating into the pine beds.

An informal stepping stone walkway leading past a future herb garden to a
