108th Street North St. Pete Walkways

Walkways on 108th Street North run from the street sidewalk to a front door that often sits a step up, with irrigation overspray and a mailbox that already interrupts the path.

Front walk that stays in its border

The walk needs a rigid edge so St. Augustine grass does not swallow it, a pitch that does not dump at the stoop, and a width that still works when someone is carrying groceries.

• Edge restraint set before the field, not spiked in after the fact

• Pitch away from the stoop toward the sidewalk or a side swale

• Irrigation heads moved or shielded so overspray does not empty the joints

• A landing at the door that is wide enough to stand on without rocking

Same crew, mainland access

Access on 108th Street North is usually easier than a barrier-island cottage, which can cut haul time. Call PaverForge Hardscapes at 727-490-9798. Photos of the stoop and the sidewalk joint are enough to start.
