Why Choose Us
Why Walkways by L.D. Williams
The First Impression of Your Home
Your front walkway is the first hardscape visitors see. A beautiful, well-designed path sets the tone for your entire property and signals quality.
Safe Footing in All Weather
We specify textures and finishes appropriate for walkways — broom, light exposed aggregate, or textured stamped patterns — that provide reliable traction year-round.
Seamless Integration with Landscape
Walkways connect your driveway, front door, patio, and garden spaces into a cohesive design. We plan the layout and grade to flow naturally with your existing landscape.
Weed-Free and Low Maintenance
Unlike paver walkways that develop weeds in the joints and shift over time, concrete is seamless — no weeding, no resetting, just an occasional rinse and reseal.
Custom Widths and Curves
Standard walkways are 3–4 feet wide, but we build to any specification — sweeping curved paths, wide entry approaches, garden stepping paths, whatever your design calls for.
Built to Last in Durham's Climate
Proper base preparation and expansion joints ensure your walkway handles Durham's clay soil movement and seasonal temperature swings without cracking or heaving.
WALKWAY FINISH OPTIONS
Choose a finish that complements your home and landscape. We match walkway finishes to existing driveways, patios, and home architecture for a cohesive look.
- Broom finish — clean, practical, slip-resistant, most affordable
- Exposed aggregate — natural stone texture, great grip
- Stamped concrete — flagstone, slate, or brick patterns
- Acid stain — rich earthy color for existing or new concrete
- Integral color — consistent hue throughout the slab
- Combination — stamped field with colored or exposed aggregate border
WALKWAY DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
A great walkway is more than just a path — it guides flow, improves accessibility, and frames your landscape.
- Minimum 3 ft wide for comfortable single-file passage
- 4–5 ft wide for two people to walk side by side
- Curved paths feel more natural and organic in the landscape
- Proper drainage slope prevents standing water and ice
- Steps, curbs, and grade changes integrated seamlessly
- Border bands and color accents for visual definition
