Designing the Perfect Walkway: A Guide for Calgary Homes and Businesses

Ryan Olsen, January 28, 2025January 28, 2025

Expanding your property with a fresh walkway both beautifies your landscape and boosts functionality as well as ease of movement. The combination of proper walkway design along with residential and commercial spaces will yield positive first impressions for visitors.

Be Green Lawn Care offers specialized walkway installation services for domestic and commercial real estate throughout Calgary. Calgary’s distinctive climate scenario of severe snowfall combined with chinook winds requires residents to pick appropriate design materials for permanent and attractive walkways. Your guide to finding the best solution for your property’s walkway design will receive comprehensive instructions in this document.

Consider the Durability You Need for Calgary’s Winters

Your decision regarding paver materials for a new walkway needs to focus on durability when operating in Calgary’s unforgiving climate. The cold climate in Calgary leads to a damaging combination of heavy snow and ice and repeating freeze-thaw effects during chinook weather events which weakens your pathway. Your choice should be between stone and concrete since both perform distinctly better in intense weather compared to the vulnerable nature of brick materials.1

Slate
Natural stone with unique aesthetics, slate is durable, resistant to cold, and ideal for Calgary’s harsh freeze-thaw cycles.
Travertine
Classic, rustic beauty with easier installation; sealing makes it weather-resistant, perfect for enhancing Calgary homes and businesses.
Porcelain
Cost-effective, non-porous, freeze-thaw resistant, and highly durable, porcelain pavers offer exceptional value for Calgary’s extreme weather conditions.

Your walkway design must prioritize strong materials when it will face exposure to heavy traffic throughout open spaces. A covered area or minimal exposure to weather allows you greater flexibility to determine your walkway material. Your search for the perfect pathway materials ends with Be Green Lawn Care as our experts will choose durable options for a lasting walkway project in Calgary.

Choose the Ideal Shape for Your Walkway’s Pavers

After choosing your material type it is important to determine the paver form which will work best. Front garden walkways within Calgary properties require designs that support varied landscaping preferences while faithfully enhancing the total aesthetic appearance of your property. Here are some factors to consider:

  • Walkway Width: Wider walkways benefit from larger paver shapes, creating a clean and expansive look. For narrower walkways, smaller pavers or intricate patterns can add charm without overwhelming the space.
  • Design Preferences: Whether you prefer classic rectangular pavers, rounded edges, or something more unique like spirals or scalloped designs, the choice is yours. Don’t hesitate to mix and match shapes for a distinctive look that reflects your style.

Select the Right Color for Your Walkway’s Pavers

Calgary’s bright sunlight and variable weather mean that color selection plays an important role in your walkway’s longevity and appearance. Keep these tips in mind when choosing colors:

  • Match Your Property’s Color Scheme: Your walkway’s pavers should harmonize with the colors of your home or business. Neutral tones often work well and provide timeless appeal.
  • Sun Exposure: Walkways exposed to direct sunlight can cause vibrant colors to fade over time. Opt for neutral or muted tones to ensure your walkway maintains its aesthetic for years to come.2
