Concrete Sidewalks
RESIDENTIAL WALKWAYS, ENTRY PATHS & GARDEN CONCRETE
We install residential sidewalks and walkways with proper grading, drainage pitch, and control joint spacing. From front entry walkways to garden paths, side-yard connectors, and backyard trails, every sidewalk is formed to width, poured to correct thickness (typically 4 inches), and finished with broom texture for slip resistance. We match existing concrete color and finish when extending or replacing sections.
Starting at $8 per sq ft
Key Highlights
Front entry walkways
welcoming paths from driveway or street to front door with proper width (minimum 36" for accessibility).
Garden and landscape paths
meandering walkways through yards and gardens with curves, steps, or decorative finishes.
Side-yard connectors
functional paths connecting front and back yards with proper drainage and clearance from structures.
Walkway replacement
remove cracked, heaved, or deteriorated sections and pour new concrete matching existing color and finish.
Why Choose Our Concrete Sidewalks
Residential sidewalks should be safe, attractive, and properly graded. We pour walkways with correct slope (minimum 1/4" per foot for drainage, maximum 1:20 running slope for accessibility), non-slip broom finish, and control joints at 4-5 foot intervals to manage cracking. Every walkway is built on compacted subbase for stable, long-term performance.
Signs You Need Concrete Sidewalks
1. Trip hazards from heaving
Tree roots or frost have lifted sidewalk panels creating dangerous height differences between sections.
2. Crumbling surface
The walkway surface is deteriorating from age, salt damage, or poor original installation, creating an unsightly entry path.
Our Process
Step 1 — Layout and forming
Mark the walkway path, excavate, compact subgrade, and set forms to width and grade.
Step 2 — Pour and finish
Place concrete, screed to level, float, edge, broom texture for traction, and saw cut control joints.
