Patios and Walkways

Patios extend interior living spaces to create outdoor rooms while walkways provide access and define circulation routes through the landscape. Together they provide the spaces for gathering with friends in warm weather, wandering peacefully in solitude, or keeping shoes dry and free from mud when walking to and from the front door.

The form and composition of these elements is nearly endless, from straight to curved, stone to wood chips, with many recycled and local material options available.
