About this collection

Front Walkway & Entry Steps Ideas, explained.

The walk to the front door is the first thing a visitor uses. These designs give it width, a clear line and good steps, in bluestone, brick, flagstone and concrete, with planting and lighting either side.

Four feet wide, straight unless there is a reason to curve, and steps with a landing at the door. Save the walks whose material suits your house.
