Walkways may seem like simple features, but they play one of the most important roles in your landscape. They guide movement, connect outdoor spaces, enhance curb appeal, and create the structure your property needs to feel complete. And when it comes to walkway materials, pavers are the clear standout for Michigan homeowners.
A professionally installed paver walkway delivers long-lasting performance and high-end beauty, all while withstanding Michigan’s harsh freeze–thaw cycles. Whether connecting your driveway to the front entrance, creating a path through your backyard, or linking patios and garden areas, paver walkways offer unmatched durability, style, and flexibility.
In this blog, we’ll explore why paver walkways are such a valuable upgrade, which design styles homeowners love most, and how Driftwood Landscape installs walkways that look beautiful and perform for decades.
Paver walkways are both functional and visually striking. Here’s why homeowners choose them over concrete or gravel paths:
Michigan’s freeze–thaw cycles are notorious for damaging concrete walkways. Pavers, however, are individual units that naturally flex with ground movement.
✔ Extreme crack resistance
✔ Long-term structural stability
✔ Easy replacement of individual pieces
✔ High resistance to salt and moisture
A paver walkway typically lasts 30–50+ years with minimal maintenance.
