Cost per foot, in context
A primary walkway that guides visitors from street to entry is the single most photographed square footage on your property. At $24-$32/sq ft installed, a 5-foot-wide 40-foot approach costs $4,800-$6,400 — a small investment relative to the impression it makes on every arrival.
