Lawn Pathways &
Lighting
Easy barrier-free, well-maintained walkway
(that is walker and wheel
chair friendly)
from the car to the home entrance
Automatic dawn-to-dusk lighting illuminates walk area
from garage or driveway to entrance
of home.
Ramps, Steps,
Handrails
Covered entrance and/or ramp [if necessary]
[Frost, rain, freezing rain will render
the home owner housebound
during
bad weather if entrance
is not weather protected.]
Stairs/ramps meet ADA slope guidelines
Slip resistant stairs/ramps with slip resistant
handrails on both sides
Handrails extend beyond first/ last step
Makes balance easier at entrance/ground level
All steps should have a backer board
so feet cannot go through and cause
injury
Stairs or ramps should have edges with color contrast
Glow-strips or step lighting
(will help with night time use on the
stairs)
Automatic motion sensor lights
placed at all step and ramp locations
