From walkways to sidewalks, we have designed, built, and perfected the art of custom walkways. We pride ourselves in creating a welcoming and safe walkway for home and business owners across NJ.
Why are Mason-Built Walkways Important?
While most people can throw down a set of stepping stones, doing it the correct way is hard work. Also, when improperly done many potential problems can arise.
First and foremost, safety is the biggest concern. Having improper footing will result in uneven walkways that always result in tripping hazards. Unsealed walkways will crack and chip during harsh NJ winters leading to dangerous conditions.
Second, without a professionally installed walkway, the surrounding landscape will suffer. Professional masonry takes years of dedicated training. Master masons learn many techniques, including how to perfectly blend the landscape with the walkway. At Petralia, we use advanced techniques to ensure that the walkway is perfectly level with the surrounding grass or landscape. This enables landscapers to properly trim the surrounding areas. Also, this provides a smooth transition for anyone who walks onto the yard.
Lastly, using master-crafted design techniques, we create a mason-built walkway that is an extension of your home and values. At Petralia Custom Masonry, we are experts in determining which stone would give your walkway the most “wow” factor. Practically indestructible, a master-crafted walkway will increase your home’s value and boost your curb appeal!
Materials Used for Custom-Built Walkways
Today walkways can be constructed from a number of materials. From bluestone to brick and many types in between, the homeowner has a ton of stone choices. Let’s break down some of the most commonly used materials.
Pavers
Pavers are a great choice for walkways because of their ability to withstand heavy foot traffic. They are extremely durable in all weather conditions and look great all year long.
Brick Pavers
Similarly, brick is a perfect choice for any homeowner who enjoys a stone that is uniform in shape, size, and color. With several types to choose from, brick is an affordable and plentiful option.
Stone Pavers
Highly regarded as one of the most durable masonry materials, stone is perfect for walkways. A proven winner given the harsh NJ winters, stone is very weather-resistant. Offered in a variety of colors, cuts, and textures stone is ideal if you are looking for a totally custom walkway.
Cement Pavers
Cement pavers are durable and there is a variety of colors to choose from. Easy to interlock, pavers are super strong and budget-friendly.
Square Cut Bluestone
Bluestone is the perfect walkway material for custom masonry work. Its unique coloring and durability have made it a staple throughout the Northeast. Easy to repair and replace, bluestone offers a skid-resistant walkway no matter the weather.
Concrete
Concrete is an ever-popular option when it comes to walkways. Loved across the board for its low maintenance and extreme durability, concrete is the perfect complement to any home or yard. Concrete comes in a variety of colors and patterns.
