A Better Welcome Starts With the Walk.

Connect the spaces around your home with a walkway that feels considered from the first step. ECI plans and restores brick, paver, and stone paths with attention to layout, transitions, and the surrounding architecture.

Make the Approach Part of the Home.

A front walkway sets the tone for the entrance. A garden path draws people into the yard. A connection between the patio and driveway makes the property easier to navigate.

We help you choose a route and material palette that feel natural to your home.

Good Design Includes the Transitions.

We consider where the path begins, where it ends, and how it meets doorways, steps, pavement, and landscaping.

Width, curves, surface selection, grading, and drainage all contribute to a walkway that works with the property.

Choose a Look That Belongs.

Brick can echo the home’s exterior. Pavers offer coordinated patterns and borders. Stone can introduce a more natural character.

We discuss the appearance and practical requirements of the options suitable for your project.

Built on Integrity. Backed by Experience.

Family Ownership. Personal Accountability.

ECI is a second-generation, family-owned Missouri exterior company. Privately owned since 1994, we bring a personal commitment to the properties and people we serve.

Your masonry project deserves clear recommendations, an understandable scope, and a team you can reach.

Common Questions

Can you replace my existing walkway?

We evaluate the existing surface and discuss removal, preparation, and the proposed replacement.

Can the walkway match my patio?

We can explore matching or complementary materials based on availability.

Can you fix uneven sections?

The evaluation determines whether resetting individual areas or rebuilding a larger section makes sense.
