Follow the way people move
A walkway should support the paths people actually take. Consider the shortest route from the house, the trip to equipment storage and the places where guests enter the backyard.
Discuss changes in elevation, steps, surface transitions and users with mobility needs. Shared or public facilities require a project-specific accessibility review.
Coordinate water and edges
Walkways can interrupt existing drainage if elevations are not planned together. Review adjoining grades, downspouts and low areas, then coordinate the route with the wider site design.
Include restoration in the scope
Ask which disturbed areas will be repaired and how the new concrete meets existing surfaces. These details affect both the finished appearance and the complete cost.
