Turn a humdrum walk from your back door to the garage into a feast for the senses; a transition from your deck to the pool into a favorite gathering place; or a slippery, unnavigable slope into a welcome series of enduring stone steps. Peter Jeswald guides you through the building process and explains how to adapt projects to suit your particular needs and aesthetic preferences.

Introducing a path, series of steps, or even a footbridge into your home landscape will improve the accessibility and functionality of your outdoor spaces, and add drama and interest to your surroundings.
