Paver Walkways in Gilbert, AZ

A Gilbert walkway usually does one of three jobs. It brings the front walk up to match a new driveway, gives the side yard a clean path to the pool equipment and trash cans, or connects the back patio to the rest of the yard. In Agritopia, the front walk is part of the street's character, so the material and style matter more than usual.

Gilbert paver walkway pricing

A Gilbert walkway in concrete pavers typically comes to $850 to $2,750 installed, for about 100 to 250 square feet. In natural stone or travertine, it runs about $1,500 to $4,500. In porcelain, about $1,900 to $5,500. The minimum job is $800.

Where yours lands depends on:

• Length and width
• Steps or changes in level
• How many curves and cuts the layout needs
• Whether it ties into a driveway, patio or pool deck

Here's a worked example. A Power Ranch home needs a new front walk and a side yard path, both in concrete pavers. If each one falls in the typical 100 to 250 square foot range, that's about $1,700 to $5,500 for the two together. We price it exactly after measuring, and you can check the estimator in the meantime.

Front walks in Agritopia

Agritopia was the Johnston family's hay farm before homes went in starting in 2003, and it was designed on purpose to feel like an older town. The houses draw on craftsman, Spanish eclectic, Northern European revival and ranch styles, and the streets were laid out to bring neighbors together.

A front walk there is on display. A plain gray paver can look out of place next to a craftsman house. Brick-look concrete pavers, real clay brick, or a running bond field with a soldier border tend to suit those houses better. Clay brick vs. concrete pavers lays out the trade-offs, and this post on why one homeowner chose clay brick over concrete shows how that decision plays out.

Matching the walk to the driveway in Power Ranch

In Power Ranch and Gilbert's other master-planned neighborhoods, the front walk and the driveway are seen together from the street. If the driveway is going to pavers, the walk should follow, whether that means one paver for both or a shared border running from the curb to the door.

If your driveway is already pavers, we bring samples to find the closest match, or we suggest a border that ties old and new together. The Power Ranch Community Association will likely want to see both pieces, and we'll have checked the Town of Gilbert's side before your start date.

Side yard paths to the pool equipment

Many Gilbert pool homes share the same weak spot: a side yard of dirt or gravel between the gate and the pool equipment. That's where the trash cans roll, where the pool tech walks, and where roof water comes down. A paver path there gets the daily traffic off the dirt.

Because Gilbert's lots are flat, a side yard path has to carry water along its length and away from the house wall. Line and grade come first. Then we compact the base, set edge restraint, screed the sand bed, lay the pavers, broom joint sand in and compact the path, which keeps it flat under wheels as well as feet.
