Flagstone for Pathway Step

A good path welcomes you to your garden and invites you to slow down and see what's happening there. You can use it to add curves and angles to your landscape. A path can define a new planting area or the perfect spot for a fountain, arbor, or bench. So here we will share the flagstone for the pathway step with you!Because this paving creates such an irregular patchwork of stone , it is the ideal choice for naturalistic landscaping styles. Here the flagstone steps take up grade so gradually, each tread seems to float above the one below it. Note the shadow created by the cantilevered tread that almost obscures the view of the riser.
When cantilevered, there's always an opportunity to use accent materials on the riser and design recessed lighting for each riser after dark. Such subtle light bands are important for safety and to guide visitors with ambient light without unnatural pathway light standards at the edges.Light colored flagstone creates a cheery and welcoming atmosphere. These steps, which take on a color close to yellow in the sunlight, provide a clear path through plantings to the home’s front door. The mortar color was closely matched to thes so that it would not contrast and compete for attention. Rough textures and the monochromatic color palette give these steps a casual vibe. Wide landings are interspersed among the steps to provide resting points. The lower portion of the steps is flanked by limestone walls that give the stairway a prominent presence in the landscape.
