Paver and Stone Walkways, Front Steps and Stoops
Paver and natural stone front walks, stoops and steps that are safe underfoot.

Front Walks and Steps People Notice
Your front walk and steps are the first thing anyone touches at your house. We build paver and natural stone walkways, bluestone and flagstone paths, front stoops, and brick or stone steps, and we replace concrete walks and steps that have cracked, settled or heaved.
A walkway gets the same base as a patio: dug out, compacted stone, bedding sand, edge restraint. We match the walk to the house and to any patio or driveway it connects to, so it looks like it was always there.

How a Project Works
- 1
Free on-site consultation
We meet you at the property, walk the site, and listen to how you want to use the space. We check grade, drainage, soil and access, everything that affects the design or the price.
- 2
Written, itemized estimate
Within 24 to 48 hours you get a written estimate covering materials, labor, base prep, permits and timeline. We'll walk you through every line.
- 3
Permits and scheduling
When a permit is needed (most retaining walls over 4 feet, structural masonry, gas and electric for outdoor kitchens), we handle it with the local permit office.
- 4
Site prep and base
We dig out, compact the subgrade, add filter fabric where it's needed and build the base deep enough for Maryland's freeze and thaw. It's the step most contractors cut, and it's why our work doesn't settle.
- 5
Installation
Ruben and the same crew that started the job finish it, with materials installed to the manufacturer's spec.
- 6
Final walkthrough
We walk the finished work with you, hand over care instructions, and back it with our workmanship warranty plus the manufacturer warranties.
What Walkways & Steps Cost
Walkway and step pricing depends on length, width, material and how many steps are involved, so we price each one after measuring. Our paver patio cost guide shows per-square-foot pricing for pavers, natural stone and concrete. Paver and stone cost per square foot has the full breakdown.

What Homeowners Say
Exceptional craftsmanship & attention to detail. Profession and efficient. Owner, Rube Santos, wonderful to work with, explaining every step of the project. An excellent experience & top notch customer service.
Workmanship was above and beyond. He recommended things that added value to my home. Cars passing by stop to look and take pictures. Reasonable price plus he did additional work for free. Planting seed and fertilizer. He's a man of his word. Everything done on time as promised.
Ruben and his crew did an excellent job putting some retaining wall in the backyard under the deck.
10/10! I HIGHLY recommend Curb Appeal. Mr. Santos and his team are professional and skillful workers. Prices are reasonable. The goal was to create a functional, low/no maintenance, patio area under our elevated deck. Mr. Santos listened, offered creative solutions and delivered as promised. Too bad I can't add pictures to this review. I am a first time customer and will return in the...
Ruben Santos and his crew were great to work with, great communication to make sure we were happy as work progressed, kept a tidy workspace, very professional. The project turned out exactly as we wanted it to and we would definitely recommend.
Great job good price
Mr Santos is will do what you ask of him. You can count on when he says he is going to be there you can count on it. He is professional, but personable and polite.
Ruben and his staff have been taking incredible care of our property for the last five years. Always on schedule and always professionally done. Highly recommend Ruben and his business!
Jeff did a great job for us in leveling and seeding our backyard. He also created a nice design layout for our fire pit area and landscaped beds along the deck. He communicated the project well, when he would be there and stayed with the job until it was completed. We found him to be knowledgeable, conscientious and reliable. He takes great pride in his work and it's important to him that it is done right. We are very pleased with the design and completion of the project and would definitely use Curb Appeal Landscapes again.
Jeff's company was hired to do a landscaping project at the Oakland Golf Course. He was so easy to work with and his flexibility in helping to complete this project was outstanding. His follow-up to ensure we knew how to maintain the project was equally reassuring. You can count on him being on time and completing the project as planned!
Jeff made some beds for us incorporating grasses and shrubs into our natural landscaping. He added river stone for a flowing effect as well as some flowering trees. He also created a stone walkway/patio for us. We highly recommend this bright and talented man. He is a pleasure to work with.
Outstanding job installing trees, several of which were in difficult locations. Rapid response to my inquiry and completion of the job ahead of schedule.
Curb appeal planted trees, put in a retainer wall and gravel work. The entire experience was excellent. Timely, priced right and finished project is impeccable.
Fantastic! Great result, on time, on budget.
Curb Appeal designed several beds of plants, bushes, trees and stone. Jeff took the time to incorporate our tastes and as well as provide suggestions. The finished product blends beautifully with the surrounding landscape. We highly recommend working with Jeff and Curb Appeal.
