Pathway & Walkway Installation in Central Iowa
Every great outdoor space has a rhythm, a way it flows. And sometimes, what ties it all together isn’t the patio or the lawn - it’s the path you take through it. A well-placed walkway creates synergy in your yard. It connects the driveway to the porch, the garden to the patio, the back door to the fire pit. Without it, people cut across grass, drag mud, and the yard feels…. unfinished.
At Larkin Landscape & Design, we specialize in pathway landscaping in Central Iowa that blends form with function. We don’t just lay stones in a row - we design walkways that complement your home, withstand Iowa’s seasons, and actually make moving through your yard easier (and better looking).
The Process
How we Install Walkways?
Walkways look good, but when they’re done right, they also last for decades. When they’re rushed, they heave, shift, and crack. Here’s our step-by-step approach to walkway installation in Iowa:
Design with Purpose
We start by asking: where should the path lead to, and how should it feel? Straight and formal? Curved and natural? We map it out so you see the layout before we dig.
Foundation Prep
Just like patios, walkways depend on their base. We excavate and grade, building a stable foundation of gravel and sand. This is what keeps the path even, year after year.
Material Selection
Depending on your style and budget - we install brick, natural stone, or concrete pavers. Pros will guide you through what works best for your space.
Precise Installation
Each piece is laid carefully by our team, keeping lines clean, curves smooth, and edges solid. No uneven stepping stones or awkward cuts.
Finishing Details
Sand, sealing, and compacting lock everything in place. Then, we tidy up so all you see is a walkway that fits seamlessly with your space.
