At James River Nurseries, we’re honored every time our work enhances a space with both beauty and purpose. Our team recently completed a hardscape update at the Governor’s Mansion in Richmond, Virginia—and this project was all about accessibility and longevity.

Building Accessibility Into Design

Sidewalks are more than just pathways; they’re essential connectors that ensure everyone can enjoy a space safely. For this project, we reworked the Mansion’s sidewalk to make sure it is fully accessible for all visitors. Because beautiful spaces should always be welcoming and functional, accessibility was at the heart of every decision.

For more on accessibility standards in outdoor environments, see the ADA Standards for Accessible Design, which provide guidelines to ensure that walkways are inclusive for all.

Hardscaping Built to Last

Durability was another key consideration. By using high-quality materials and expert installation practices, our team ensures that hardscapes like sidewalks, patios, and pathways will stand the test of time—even in high-traffic areas like this historic site.

We take pride in knowing that our work contributes to the legacy of one of Virginia’s most meaningful landmarks.
