A walkway gets used every day, so it needs to be level, safe in winter and built to stay that way. Many Columbus homes have original concrete walks that have cracked, tipped or settled, especially near the front stoop where backfill around the foundation sinks over time. A paver walkway replaces that with a surface that can be lifted and reset if one area moves.
Walkways can run from the driveway to the front door, from a detached garage to the back door, or through the yard to a patio. We help you plan width, curves, borders and lighting, and look at how water and snow will be handled. You get a clear explanation of options and what drives cost before you commit.

Paver walkways are a good fit if your current walk is cracked or tipping, if you want a more welcoming front entry, or if you need a reliable path between a detached garage, gate or patio and the house. They work well for homes in historic areas where a brick or tumbled look suits the architecture.
Every project is quoted on its own details. These are the things that move the number most, and we walk through each one with you on the estimate.
Longer and wider walks use more base and pavers and take more installation time.
Breaking out and hauling away old concrete adds labor and disposal.
Steps, landings and stoop transitions take more cutting and careful leveling.
Curves, contrasting borders and inlays increase cuts and labor.
Tree roots, tight side yards and nearby beds can slow excavation.

The right width also depends on the scale of the house and the entry. Your installer can mark options on the ground so you can see them.
Most concrete pavers have a textured surface that offers decent traction. Proper cross-slope keeps water from sitting and refreezing on the walk. Snow shovels work fine, and many homeowners use plastic-edged blades. Ask about deicer choice too, since some products are harder on pavers and joint sand than others.
Clay brick pavers and tumbled concrete pavers come in many colors, so you can often find a close complement to older brick. An exact match is not always possible. In historic districts, you may need review of materials, so it helps to gather samples early.
Mature trees are common around Columbus, and roots are a frequent reason old walks tip. Routes can be adjusted around root zones, and the base can be designed to reduce disturbance. Cutting large roots can harm a tree, so it is worth consulting an arborist for big trees. See our repair page for resetting lifted pavers.
