Make Your Home Safer This Winter with Stone Steps and Walkways
As winter slowly makes its presence known, it is important for homeowners to take a look at their landscape and assess its overall safety. Further, you should give focus to the ability for individuals to maneuver your front entrance or other entrance to your home safely. Here at Harpeth Valley Hardscapes, we understand that homeowners want to ensure be able to easily clear away any snowfall that has accumulated a walkway or easily spread ice melt in their efforts to improve surface traction. With that said, the team here at Harpeth Valley Hardscapes wants to share with our valued clients how to make your home look more appealing, inviting as well as safe with stable, secure and beautifully designed stone steps and walkways.
THE MANY BENEFITS AND ADVANTAGES OF STAIRS AND PATHWAYS MADE OF STONE
When choosing the landscaping of pathways, walkways or steps on their property, homeowners have a number of options to choose from. Mulch and gravel are typically an ideal choice for simple, casual and economical stairs and walkways. However, your landscape can be somewhat damaged when the snow begins to fall. Shoveling snow from a gravel or mulch surface can be a true hassle and will more often than not prove to cause some harm and damage to the surface. Here at Harpeth Valley Hardscapes, we suggest you invest in a solution that is far more practical and permanent since you will need to rely upon these surfaces for years and years to come.
Stone steps and walkways wide and firm in design, often work best for high or low rises leading to your home entrance and provide a very stable and safe walking surface. With stone you can spread all the salt or ice melt you need without ever worrying about decay or corrosion occurring. Further, when it comes time to scrape away snow or ice from steps or walkways made of stone your task is sure to be much quicker and easier.
YOUR STONE INSTALLATION
It is typically best to install mortared stone when the weather is warmer. However, when you use dry stone applications, for example, interlocking pavers, then the stone can be installed during any season as long as we are able to lay down a stable base. Here at Harpeth Valley Hardscapes, our team of highly skilled and experienced pavers are on hand to meet your every need.
