This project really was great and needed. Here was a house with no walkway
to the front or side door, and if you did trudge your way through the grass you had to mount a 14" high front stoop. Since
the stoop is only 4' deep, I made the step plenty wide enough for Tricker-Treater's to stand on while the front door
is opened. I also used the retaining wall blocks the homeowner plans on using for the raised landscape bed that will follow
the same inside line the walkway does. The walkway product is made by Techo-bloc, and is warranteed for life even if you apply
de-icing salts in the winter. The circle kits are Rotondo and the walkway is a modified herringbone pattern consisting of
Hera square and Hera rectangle.
For the side door I thought it would be confusing to a visitor which walkway to choose if made the
same, (and more expensive) so simple Portage Stone, a concrete flagstone does the job for the side door.
