Walkway questions, answered

How wide should my front walkway be?

Minimum 4 feet, ideally 5 feet to allow two people to walk side-by-side. Estate walks can be 6+ feet wide for proportional balance with larger homes.

What's better — stone or pavers?

Natural stone (bluestone, granite) offers premium curb appeal and longest lifespan. Concrete pavers offer more pattern variety and lower cost. Both are excellent when properly installed.

Will the walkway crack in winter?

Properly installed stone and paver walks won't crack — they flex with freeze-thaw via segmented joints. Poured concrete is the surface most likely to crack.
