Safe, Level Walkways for Pembroke Homes
Pembroke homes around Oldham Pond and Furnace Pond, and on wooded lots off Route 14, Route 27, Route 36, Route 53, and Route 139, often need a path toward the water and a solid front walk. We build paver and natural stone walkways that stay level.
In Pembroke, we build:
- Paths down toward the water
- Front walks from the driveway
- Side paths to the backyard
- Stepping stone paths
- Releveling of sunken walkways
Local conditions
What Moves Walkways in Pembroke
Near the Pembroke ponds, the ground stays wet and runoff moves downhill toward the shore. A walkway there needs soft soil removed, a crushed stone base compacted in layers, and a pitch that carries water off the path instead of letting it soak the base.
Common walkway problems:
- A shallow base that sinks
- Pavers drifting with no restraint
- Water draining toward the foundation
- Freeze and thaw lifting stones
- Stepping stones sinking into the lawn
Call us if you see:
- Tripping spots along the walk
- Dips collecting ice
- Joint sand washing away
- Stepping stones sinking into the soil
- An entrance that looks tired
If the walkway meets the front door at a higher level, steps usually come next. Read the masonry page for granite and stone steps.
Our process
What Our Pembroke Walkway Service Includes
Every walkway in Pembroke follows the same sequence, whether it is a short front walk or a long path around the house. We lay out the route, excavate, compact the base, pitch it for water, lay the pavers or stone, and lock the edges and joints.
- 01
Route and Width
We lay out the route, its width, and the curves, and how it ties into the driveway, entry, and patio.
- 02
Removing Soft Soil
We dig out grass and unstable soil down to the depth the base needs.
- 03
Building the Base
Crushed stone goes in layer by layer and compacted each time, which keeps the path level for years.
- 04
Built-In Drainage
A gentle pitch sends rain and snowmelt off the walkway, which means no puddles freeze on it.
- 05
Laying the Walkway
Over a bedding layer, we lay the pavers or stone in the pattern chosen, cutting the borders to fit.
- 06
Edges and Joint Sand
Edging keeps the walkway in line, and joint sand locks the pavers together.

Pricing factors
What Drives the Cost of a Walkway in Pembroke
A straight path to the door and a curved walkway with steps are different jobs, so we price every Pembroke walkway on site, not by phone. Walkway length, the paver or stone, soil, the drainage needed, steps, and old slabs all matter. After the visit, you receive the price in writing.
We price each walkway by:
- How long and how wide the walk runs
- The material: pavers, stone, or stepping stones
- Soil and water on the site
And also:
- What the route crosses
- Landings at the door
- Removing of old concrete

FAQ
Walkways in Pembroke: Common Questions
Many Pembroke homeowners ask the same handful of things when it comes to walkways, from pavers versus stone and why the base matters to ice in winter and estimates. The answers are below, in plain language. Something else on your mind? Call Backyard Experts at (774) 341-4894.
Which parts of Pembroke does your walkway service cover?
We serve all of Pembroke, ZIP code 02359, as part of our South Shore service area. Front walks, side paths, garden paths, and releveling of sunken walkways are all handled at any address in Pembroke. Phone (774) 341-4894 and tell us your street and where the path goes, and we will set up a free consultation.
Should I choose pavers or natural stone for a walkway?
Both are good choices when they sit on a proper base. Pavers come in a wide range of colors and patterns, provide a uniform surface, and can be reset if needed. Natural stone gives a traditional New England look that fits historic homes. We show you both during the free consultation, matched to the style of the house.
Why do walkways sink, crack, or heave?
Nearly always, the reason is in the base. A shallow base, soft soil that was left underneath, water seeping under the walk and freezing, or missing edging allows the pieces to settle, drift, or lift. Fixing the base correctly is the real fix.
Can you replace an old concrete walkway?
Yes, we do. We remove the cracked concrete slabs, take them away, and dig out soft ground underneath. Then we build a compacted base, pitch it for water, and set pavers or natural stone, so the new walkway avoids the cracks and heaving of the old one.
