Selecting the appropriate materials for your sidewalks and walkways services is vital for durability and design. At Serrano’s Masonry, we offer a range of options to suit various styles and budgets.
Popular Material Options:

Designing Your Walkway
A well-thought-out design is crucial for creating a functional and aesthetically pleasing walkway. Consider the following elements during the design process:
Key Design Factors:
- Pathway Width: Ensure the width accommodates foot traffic, allowing easy navigation, especially in high-traffic areas.
- Curvature and Layout: A straight path may be practical, but adding curves can create visual interest and enhance the landscape.
- Connection Points: Consider how the walkway connects to entry points, patios, or gardens, ensuring seamless transitions.
- Lighting Features: Incorporating lighting along the walkway enhances safety at night and adds a decorative touch.
