Cost for stone walkway

9 years ago

I'm very lucky to have a neighbor who wants to do my walkway. How much should it cost per square foot in the Midwest for a stone sidewalk to be dug out, with sand base, and stone laid with polymeric sand? I need an average? Can anyone help me?

Here are two different types. I would provide the stone. Any pros who can help with a rough estimate?

We had one done on the east coast a few years ago for about $4500.00 total, it was about 15 feet from driveway to the turn and we did a great design to make attractive curved steps up to the front door.

As above. Even if you had used a Hardwood, it would still not have the longevity needed to place with a flat surface down and would rot eventually. Thus as Sven says they would be a temporary measure not a permanent one. It's a nice idea, but concrete ones would be the way to go. You could paint the concrete ones if you want them more wood colour, but the paint too would need re-doing every now and then. The wood would also be slippery in the winter!

I think it would be best to look at porcelain tiles for outdoors, so long as you find some with good grip. Natural stone - sandstone, limestone, granite etc would probably all look good but may get ruined if the children like painting outside as they’re porous. Even with a sealer, it may be difficult to wash off properly.

Hi JC. I think the layout of the path will be quite important as well as deciding which plants to have. It looks like there is a lot of footfall on the lawn next to the patio so I think any path needs to start from here. Had you thought what material you’d like the path to be made out of? The size of the borders will depend on what plants you’d like to have, shrubs and trees will most likely need more space and can encroach on your lawn space. The suggestions above are all good tho and most of them are very hardy and tolerant of most soils. For privacy on the right fence I might go fo one main shrub, perhaps a Lilac and a tallish evergreen. If you get young specimens they’ll adapt to the soil better. In the meantime you could attach some trellis to the fence and grow some climbers such as the clematis Montana, honey suckle or star jasmine. I think the way to pick a planting plan is not to rush it but start with your star attractions first, the larger plants, shrubs or trees, look them up and find out their eventual height and spread. Then the rest you can fill in with the smaller things, like the perennials and bulbs. Be sure to check what conditions each plant likes, sun/shade etc. I bought this plant yesterday at a plant fair, Sambucas nigra ‘black lace’. It can grow very large but can be hacked back quite vigorously with little effect and is very hardy. Good job really as my garden isn’t huge and it’s staying in a container:-) Good luck with your garden, it’s a lovely space.

The easiest option, I feel, is a stepping stone path paid from the patio down to the cabin. You just need to cut round a slab then lift off the grass and some of the soil. Make sure you lay the slab below the grass level to ease mowing. If it sits above the grass the mower will catch on the edge of the slab. There are several tutorials on YouTube. Gravel is another option but you will need to have some kind of edging to stop it spreading on the lawn.

If you use slate, watch out as it does chip over time, we had it prior to the stone walk.
