A New Front Walkway Can Give Your Home In Frederick, MD A Fresh Look

Sometimes a new look is just what a home needs to feel fresh again. We have gathered 8 walkways that Allentuck Landscaping Co. has designed and installed over the last few years to get you thinking about ways to give the front of your home a brand new look. Each one shows either a different pattern or material combination. We hope they spark some brilliant ideas inside of you, and, of course, we hope you contact us to help you bring the ideas to life.

A Place To Greet and Relax

Who says a walkway just has to be a walkway? This front entry is also used for greeting guests and for simply relaxing at the end of the day. Surrounded by flowers and the sound of water from the wall fountain, it is a great place to simply unwind.

Method: Pennsylvania Flagstone Set On Concrete

Simple and Stately

Brick pavers make an excellent front entry. In this project, a simple basket weave pattern with a soldier edging course compliments the flagstone threshold beautifully. The white columns on the stoop were preserved to give a stately look.

Method: Brick Pavers Set On Sand

Elegance

Pennsylvania flagstone always makes for a classic front walkway. In this project, it is set on concrete for a formal look. The width of the walkway works well with the steps and allows for two people to walk side by side.

Method: Pennsylvania Flagstone On Concrete

‘Nawlins’ Charm

The architecture of this home is straight out of New Orleans, so the walkway is too. Flagstone bordered with reclaimed brick with a large transition area gives this walkway its charm. The front stoop riser is even faced with reclaimed brick to complete the look.

Method: Pennsylvania Flagstone and Reclaimed Brick on Concrete

Casual Afternoon

This front entry area is the perfect place to chill out on a nice afternoon. A small table and some chairs and you have your own sidewalk cafe.

Method: Brick Pavers on Sand; Flagstone on Concrete Stoop With Natural Stone Risers

 

Naturally!

For this walkway we recycled natural stone, not an easy task as it required closely fitting odd shaped pieces together. It came together beautifully.

Method: Natural Stone On Concrete

 

Contemporary Perfection

This walkway compliments the contemporary architecture of the home perfectly. Sleek, clean lines lead guests right to the front door through stone walls.

Method: Pennsylvania Flagstone On Concrete; Natural Stone Walls

 

Porch With A View

To create this entry we had to push back a hill, build a stone retaining wall and steps, and expand the porch. Lots of great evenings are spent in this unique space.

Method: Pennsylvania Flagstone On Concrete With Natural Stone Risers, Natural Stone Retaining Wall, Iron Railing

The bottom line is that there have never been more different materials and methods available to create just the right way for you to get to your home. Allentuck Landscaping Co. can help you decide which way is right for you for your home in Frederick, MD.

The outdoor spaces people enjoy most are thoughtfully designed with a balance of hardscape and softer landscape elements that make the space feel comfortable, welcoming, and lived in. Whether it’s synthetic turf, ornamental grasses, outdoor rugs, water features, or a pergola that creates a destination within the landscape, the right details transform
