​Stone walkways are a beautiful addition to any property in Richmond Hill, adding elegance and functionality to your outdoor spaces. Installing a stone walkway can be a challenging task, but with the help of a professional masonry company, you can have a stunning and durable walkway that will last for years to come.

The first step in the installation process is to choose the type of stone that best suits your style and needs. Whether you prefer a natural look with irregularly shaped stones or a more uniform design with cut stones, a reputable masonry contractor can help you make the right choice.

Once the stone is selected, the construction process begins with site preparation. The area where the walkway will be installed is cleared of any debris and leveled to ensure a flat and stable surface. This is crucial for the long-term durability and safety of the walkway.

After the site preparation, the stones are carefully laid out in the desired pattern and secured in place with a strong adhesive. The gaps between the stones are then filled with a jointing material, such as sand or cement, to provide stability and prevent weeds from growing between the stones.

Finally, the pathway is finished with a sealant to protect the stones from weather and foot traffic. A professional masonry company can advise you on the best sealant for your specific stone type and environment.  
With a proper stone walkway installation, you can enjoy the beauty of your outdoor spaces while enhancing the value of your property.


Case Study


In the heart of Richmond Hill’s Bayview Hill neighbourhood, Masonry Richmond Hill recently partnered with a homeowner looking to enhance their curb appeal with a high-end stone walkway installation. The client had an aging concrete path that was cracked and uneven, posing both a safety risk and an eyesore. After an on-site consultation, our team designed a custom natural stone walkway using durable Ontario limestone, chosen for its resilience in Richmond Hill’s freeze-thaw cycles and timeless look. The project, completed in under five days, featured a winding path layout with seamless edge restraints and proper drainage — essential for Richmond Hill’s average 1,000 mm of annual precipitation.

The results were transformative. The homeowner reported an immediate 15% increase in curb appeal, as confirmed by a local real estate agent, and neighbours frequently commented on the upscale aesthetic. The new walkway not only improved accessibility for their elderly parents but also added long-term value to the property, which sits near Bayview Secondary School — one of the city’s most sought-after areas. With over 75% of Richmond Hill homes having front yard landscaping, this project now stands out as an elegant example of how professional stonework can modernize and future-proof a home’s exterior.
