Attractive first impressions along the pathway to your front door will make your home more welcoming. Wichman Landscape Construction offers a wide range of designs and services to increase your homes curb appeal with the elegant design and construction of an inviting front walkway and step design.

From the moment a car pulls into your driveway, guests will feel drawn in as they park on a beautifully designed paving stones driveway that has been created using only the finest quality products. Gone are the days of the ubiquitous blacktop driveway or the gravel-filled driveway that requires topping off every couple of years. Now your driveway can have a more regal feel by incorporating the antique look of paving stones. Paving stones can also be selected that offer a quarried look with a rough-hewn texture. This added visual detail and elegance will provide your driveway and entryway with a stately feel.

Eye-catching retaining walls are a creative way to surround one or both sides of your driveway, especially when embellished with decorative shrubs and vivacious garden flowers. The top edge of the retaining wall also offers the added opportunity for seasonal decoration, such as a row of alternating potted mums and grinning jack-o-lanterns to welcome autumn, for example. The wall itself takes on a festive facade when draped with lush evergreen garland for the winter holidays.

A pond is another striking option to consider incorporating into your front walkway design. Such a focal point is serene and inviting, from the low bubbling sounds of water to the spurts of color provided by swimming koi and floating water lilies.

The stroll from the driveway to the front door is equally exciting as you climb the steps that have been artistically designed and built. Wichman Landscape Construction uses the highest quality paving stones, including uni-lock and techo-bloc, in all of their front walkway and step design. An extensive array of color and texture is available for you to choose from to compliment both your personal taste and the style of your home. Another natural product used is the full sandstone tread, in which one complete piece of stone serves as both the tread and riser in one step. When the quality craftsmanship combines the natural beauty of pavers with the adorning landscape plants and the architectural features of your home, the marriage creates a perfect harmony to usher your guests toward the front door.

The patio-like space at your front door can evoke the feeling of a welcoming embrace when paving stones and additional steps, planters and seating walls corral guests to your homes entrance. Your added personal touches of a cushioned wicker chair, some potted flowers, holiday dcor and whimsical statuary will complete the look. A cozy entryway will also provide a comfortable and appealing spot to relax as you keep a watchful eye on children at play in the front yard or await a loved ones return home from work or school.

Evening arrivals benefit from the dramatic flair that landscape lighting adds to your front walkway and step design. Under-step lighting will lead the way along the driveway and walkway; pillars and lit columns will highlight your entryway. Not only will the nighttime view be inviting, but will also ensure a safe trek to your door.

Whether your home is situated on a perfectly flat plot or you live in a high ranch, Wichman Landscape Construction offers the necessary excavation services to create that perfect and unique front walkway and step design that youve been dreaming of. The result will be a front yard welcome that you will eagerly look forward to coming home to for many years to come.
