Walkways both in residential and commercial renovations are necessary to direct the movement besides shaping the aesthetics of the landscape. Combining wooden bridges with stone borders poses the construction of the pathways which are not only practical, but also beautiful to look at.
Wooden bridges which can be made of hardwoods such as cedar, teaks or treated pine, provide an aesthetic appeal and depth to the outdoor environments. Mostly they can be used to cross small ponds, garden beds or rough ground to create a sense of movement and flow. The walkway is outlined by Stone borders, which are constructed out of cobblestones, flagstones, or granite. They stop erosion, preserve pathway shape and increase durability.
Wooden bridges and stone borders are put together in a harmonious way, where the former makes the appearance soft and warm and the latter adds stability and permanence. This combination is appropriate in both traditional gardens and contemporary gardens. An example of this is a plain cedar bridge with coarse stone edges to give a natural organic touch or a smooth timber bridge with smooth stone sides to provide a modern appearance.
Conclusion:
Pedestrian walkways that are modelled in wooden bridges and stone edges add utility and beauty in the renovation projects. Wood brings in the beauty and a touch of man, whereas stone brings durability and stability. Together, they form openings that are not only functional but also add value to the general nature of the space. To renovators, the design methodology will make the common walkways to be memorable experience that links spaces to each other.
