Sidewalks

In this article, Authentic Stone Creations – conveniently located in Lexington, Kentucky (KY) – is here to provide you with information on the sidewalks they create, so you can decide whether to add one to your home.
 
Sidewalks are so much more than the path that leads to your front door. While many people only notice sidewalks for the bad things, like when they’re broken, uneven, or maybe in need of repair, sidewalks can be used as a beautiful design piece for the entry into your home. Let Authentic Stone Creations of Lexington, Kentucky show you how beneficial a new or repaired sidewalk can really be. 

Functional Design

Sidewalks were first created for all the functional benefits they supplied. They provide a clear and even path for walking, that keeps pedestrians separated from other elements, like grass or a busy street. Sidewalks were later added to homes for the same reason, creating a direct and even path through grass yards to the front door. Instead of navigating over uneven terrain, a sidewalk provides an easy navigation into a home. Depending on the you choose for your sidewalk, these can even be constructed to accommodate different levels of physical needs for a home. 

Aesthetic Design

While the functional benefits of sidewalks are well known, many people overlook the potential a sidewalk has as a design element for a home. Many homes have straight, square paneled, pathways, but sidewalks come in all shapes and sizes and can be crafted in a number of ways that make them unique and eye-catching. The materials used for a sidewalk are numerous. Concrete is the commonly used, but stones, bricks, wood, and asphalt are all other materials available. These materials can also be artistically designed to form interesting patterns, unique shapes, and different colors to suit the design of your home. Don’t let the sidewalk be just something to walk on, use this area to enhance your design ideas and make your home design complete.
