What to know about walkways and steps

What a paver walkway typically costs

$26 to $50 per square foot installed

Steps are priced by the step after we measure the rise. Our projects start at $10,000. Walkways and steps are most often built as part of a larger patio, driveway or front-yard project.

What is included

Layout of the route, widths and step heights
Excavation and a compacted stone base
Pavers or natural stone cut and laid to your pattern
Steps built with consistent riser and tread dimensions
Edge restraint on both sides
Polymeric sand and cleanup

Materials

Walkways use the same pavers as your patio or driveway so everything matches. Bluestone and other natural stone make a strong choice for steps and landings. We show how the walkway, steps and house materials work together.

What we plan for around Charleston

Older homes with uneven grades and raised foundations that make step heights tricky
Roots from live oaks that lift old walkways
Rain runoff that needs a path away from the house
Railings that can be required by code when grade changes are larger

Questions about walkways and steps

Can you replace a cracked concrete walkway with pavers?

Yes. We remove the old walkway, rebuild the base and lay pavers, which also lets a single settled section be reset later.

Do walkway steps need a permit?

Permit rules depend on the project and your jurisdiction. We tell you what applies to your property during your free estimate.

What is the minimum project size?

Our projects start at $10,000, so walkways and steps are most often built together with a patio, driveway or front-yard project.
