Walkway Construction in Winnipeg
Beautiful, practical brick walkways to connect your property's areas
Add Visual Interest
Brick walkways are a simple way to add interest to any landscape. They are classic and there's just something so satisfying about a nice pathway.
In the front yard, they add curb appeal and can pay for themselves by increasing the value of you home.
Create Practical Routes
Walkways provide a safe, tidy way of getting from the street to the house or through a muddy garden. If the walkway is in the right place, it keeps grass from being damaged from high traffic routes.
Technical Details Taken Care Of
"A perfectionist's attention to technical issues"
– Heather Frayne, Winnipeg
We build for Winnipeg soil conditions and weather. To be safe to walk on, a walkway needs proper sloping to prevent ice build-up and it needs a deep foundation to minimize movement during freeze-thaw cycles.
Beyond functionality, we consider every brick in the design and take a lot of care in the installation to get things level, evenly spaced and looking natural.
Most of the cost in a walkway installation is in the labour so it only makes sense to use high quality materials to make all that work worthwhile. We use pavers intended to last in Winnipeg's conditions, made right here in Winnipeg.
Our stonework is guaranteed for 5 years

Walkway Installation FAQs
One thing our customers write on Google Reviews over and over again is "they billed what they quoted". Unless you decide you'd like to update project plan after the project has already started, you will be billed exactly what we quoted. That's what we agreed upon so that's what the bill will be.
Our Google Reviews consistently talk about how happy people are that we actually show up on time.
We have no formal guarantees, but working on-schedule is how we do business.
- Sweep off grass clippings and fallen leaves. It is a common misconception that weeds grow up through the joints between pavers. Actually weeds settle in from the top. If those weed seeds are removed along with any other organic material, they won't be able to take root.
- Inspect joint sand. With our clay soils in Winnipeg it is inevitable that patios will move with the changing of seasons. A concrete paver surface is a flexible system that can move with these changes, but occasionally you will see fine cracks develop in the sand between the pavers. You'll want to fill those cracks. We can do this for you easily. If any cracks appear within five years of installation, just send us an email and we will happily take care of it for you as a part of our guarantee.
- If your walkway is multiple decades old, sometimes a few of the paver bricks end up cracked. This might indicate deeper problems, but in many cases it is a just matter of replacing the cracked bricks with new bricks.
- Sometimes even well-built walkways will have problems from ground movement in Winnipeg. Areas with previously disturbed soil, next to driveways or along building foundations are more likely to cause problems and sometimes require repair work within 10 years.
We have a 5-year guarantee on our walkway stonework. We take the warranty very seriously and routinely do small repairs on walkways we've built. You can see in some of our Google Reviews that our customers were happy with how quickly and cheerfully we responded when they had even small problems with our work. It's part of the job, especially with Winnipeg's soil. We stand behind our work.

Very happy with the experience. The thought and care given to the creative side of our sidewalk and patio design was much appreciated and impressive. Dwayne took time to find out our style – then made great suggestions on how our cobbles could flow to create the look we wanted. This was very important to me. The job came in on-time, on budget, and is gorgeous. I also very much appreciate the follow up from Earthworks to ensure the flagstone has remained properly seated. I highly recommend Earthworks if you're looking for excellent craftsmanship and not a 'kit install' - you will get something unique and creative from from Dwayne and his team.

Dwayne and crew have given us a beautiful Roman paving stone front and side walkway and parking pad out back. Graceful curves, a perfectionist's attention to technical issues and every minute detail. On time, on budget. We couldn't be happier.

These guys are fantastic. So professional. We got them in to build us a patio about 8 years ago, and they were so good I would never use anyone else. We had them back this summer to do another walkway job and they were just as good. The quality of the work is perfect.... beautiful. Their work is so good that the company who built our garage asked for their contact info so they could work with Earthworks in the future. They are very quick, efficient, and polite as well. I highly recommend them.
