A walk, and steps where the yard rises
A 4-foot walk along the house should sit 1 inch lower at its outer edge than at the edge by the wall, one published guide says; for a garden path it suggests 4 to 5 feet of width and warns against walkways narrower than 3 feet. NRMCA has outdoor walks broom-textured for a non-slip surface.
Where the walk climbs to a porch, the International Residential Code's 2015 text, as quoted, puts a landing outside every exterior door, 36 inches deep or more, no narrower than the door, and sloped 2 percent at most. Which code edition Moody has adopted wasn't confirmed, so ask the City, at City Hall, 606 Ave E, especially about a walk along a street.

Steps, rails and trees
How tall can each step on a walk up to the porch be?
Under the 2015 IRC text as quoted, 7¾ inches is the most a riser can rise, the tallest and shortest risers in one flight may differ by ⅜ inch at most, and treads must be 10 inches deep or more. HUD's home-safety guide, as one published guide cites it, keeps riser and tread variation within a flight under 3/16 inch.
When does a walk with steps need a handrail?
The 2015 IRC text calls for a handrail on at least one side of any flight with four or more risers, mounted 34 to 38 inches above the tread nosings. A porch, stair or landing more than 30 inches above the grade below also needs a guard at least 36 inches high.
How far from a walk should a new tree go?
Two sidewalk-widths away, one published guide says, which for a 4-foot walk means 8 feet from its edge; the spacing is meant to limit lifting by the roots.
