Inspo Fridays: Front Yard Walkways

July 02, 2021

Homeowners - does the pathway to your front door need a revamp? If so, read on for some inspiration! We’ve covered all the possible options: tile, stone, wood, flower-lined or mosaic-lined, you’ll be sure to find something you fancy.

Porcelain Tile

Perhaps one of the most modern & upscale pathway styles, porcelain tiles are a great option for homes looking to achieve a new look. Pair them with stones in cool or warm tones, or lay them on top of your grass! However you place them, they’ll be sure to look effortlessly cool! Featured here are our Praia Grey Arterra Pavers - with undertones that match any colour palette, they’re a perfect fit for any home. (Photo #3 credit: Pinterest).

Flagstone

It’s natural-looking, versatile, and personal! Take a trek up north (looking at you, Ontarians) and pick out your stones at a rock quarry, or from your local distributor. Stick with rocks with pinky-tones, or go dark! Arrange them on soil, mulch, pebbles or grass. You’ll love the end result!

Wood

Thick or thin planks, stained or natural - Wood is best for those dreaming of a tropical escape. Each step on your pathway will sound like you’re on a beach boardwalk somewhere sunny and warm. Doesn’t that sound nice? (Photo #1 credit: Pinterest, Photo #2 credit: Pinterest, Photo #3 credit: From House to Home).

Patterned Tile

Party people! Listen up. What better way to enter a fiesta than on a fun tile pathway? You can be as creative as you want with this style - choose a fun shape, pattern, colour - anything your heart desires! Keep in on the pathway, or add a small tile wall to guide guests and keep your garden protected. You’ve got options!

Composite Wood Tile

We’ve mentioned these tiles before, in our first Inspo Blog about renter-friendly balconies. They’re super easy to get your hands on and to install. Just pop on over to your local hardware or garden center and get to work! (Photo credit: From House to Home).

Flower-Lined Path

Around this time every year my mom’s garden is at its peak of loveliness - hydrangeas in bloom, ivy climbing around our garage, and full planters by our front door. A garden truly is your front yard’s perfect accessory. If you’re able, try lining your pathway with it! (Photo #1 credit: Start at Home, Photo #2 credit: Pinterest).

Other walkway options are brick, cement, or mulch. With whatever you choose, your guests will appreciate the work you put into making your welcome space something to admire. Be sure to let us know your favourite pathway option!
