Hello Kimberly,
We put in a concrete driveway and a walkway in 2015 and really enjoy it.
We extended our established concrete walk -we using blue stone (~$700) and it was quite expensive for a dozen stones. In hindsight we probably should’ve made the concrete walkway wrap around the side of the house to the rear deck. Consider this-thinking ahead with your planning.
Naomie's right. Big job, Lot of work. And doing it right. Better left to the pros.
