I wanted the walkway for the looks of it. Also want to be sure the
water flow is not impeedes as I ot enough water pumping out of my basement
as it is :P

Im not sure if its classified as wetlands. Its really not that big so I
doubt it. its just a small path that the water takes mainly after rains,
but also continuously. If it is wetlands and they try to restrict what I
can do, thats cool to so long as they want to give me a property tax
break!

My first thought seeing your post was that such a walkway could really look
nice. Depending on the size of your town, you may or may not have to deal
with a separate wetlands dept, or it could be another job for the zoning
folks. At any rate, you should be able to find the wetlands regs for your
area on the net. I really doubt that an elevated walkway over a vernal
stream would be a prohibited activity, and the fact that the walkway would
allow you access to more of your own property would likely void the
prohibition on such a small lot. If the actual waterway part isn't that
big, you'll be best off just spanning it anyhow, so for that part of your
walk you'd need a rigid structure (ie, a bridge). If you get grief, tell
them it's a dock, because docks are allowed. In your case, it would be two
docks; one from each side.

good luck,

As to your question - I'd guess a landscaper might do better than a deck
builder for this application. Just ask around.
