Need ideas for front walkway

14 years ago

We are re-doing our front walk(s), it is currently concrete, and I'd love suggestions of ideas. I think I'd like pavers as opposed to slate, but I'm not too knowledgeable about this. The house is white brick which is hard to see in this photo. Any ideas are appreciated.

I'd think of the walk the stoop and landscaping as one. I've attached a photo as an example. That house is a different style but house style has nothing to do with what I'm talking about.

Right now the two juniper bushes, besides becoming way too big and don't relate to the house or the current walk at all.

It'd be great to look at a photo of the end of the walk. Maybe get a nice pole lampt out there. Could even have a hanging sign with your address on it. Whatever you do, tie everything together.

It looks like the stoop is brick. If it is I'd go with a brick walk so it ties into the stoop.

Are the shutters black? I think if you did dark colored pavers, in deep and medium greys, it would give a nice modern element to the front while bringing the whole house together!

I agree about the landscaping, we inherited it. Hopefully that's next. I can't stand those juniper bushes. Shutters are black and stoop is also concrete with brick.

I just edtied my comment to reference a pole lamp but I'd also incorporate the side walk into this whole project, at least so it's the same material as the main walk.

And hey, it looks like the shutters are missing on the lower left window. The brackets look like they're still there!

There is a pole lamp at the end of the walkway. We will definitely include the side walk. I always thought someone must have taken off the shutters on the bottom because it would look unbalanced since there are no other shuttered windows on the first floor.

The elevation of your home is beautiful! I like nmikolich's idea deep/medium grey pavers.
