Patios & Walkways

Walkways That Invite.
Patios That Hold.

Grounded Design. Quiet Invitation.

Patios and walkways are more than surfaces to walk on, they’re how a garden unfolds. In places like Mill Valley, Ross, and Tiburon, these elements guide the experience of a space: shaping how it’s entered, how it opens, how it lingers. They organize space without interrupting it, inviting motion and clarity.

At Heritage Landscapes, we design patios and walkways as part of full-property transformations—never as standalone elements. Each one is considered in context: elevation, planting, scale, shade, sightline. Made to feel inevitable. Built to last.

Built for the Bay Area. Crafted for Your Life Outdoors.

We work with natural and enduring materials that age gracefully and settle into the land over time. From the organic irregularity of hand-set stone to the clean geometry of large-format pavers, each choice supports the architecture, light, and use of the space.

Common materials include:

  • Natural stone (irregular flagstone, cut bluestone, quartzite, limestone)

  • Concrete (cast-in-place, sand-finished, or board-formed)

  • Gravel and permeable materials for lightness and drainage

  • Clay or concrete pavers for structure and repetition

  • Inset lighting and custom detailing for added definition and atmosphere

Finishes are selected not just for look and durability, but for how they feel underfoot, how they carry water, and how they reflect light.

Built as Part of the Whole

We design and build patios and walkways as integral parts of a larger landscape project. This allows every element—wall, planting, light, grade—to work together, visually and functionally.

The result feels cohesive, grounded, and complete.
