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.
