Concrete Sidewalk & Walkway Installation

Concrete sidewalks and walkways provide essential connectivity while enhancing your property's safety and accessibility. Whether you need to comply with municipal sidewalk requirements or create attractive pathways around your home or business, professional installation ensures long-lasting results that serve your community for decades.

Fact 1: ADA-compliant sidewalks must meet specific slope and width requirements to ensure accessibility for all users. Maximum cross-slope is 2%, and maximum running slope is 5% without additional features. Our team ensures all public sidewalk installations meet these important accessibility standards.

Proper subgrade preparation is crucial for sidewalk longevity. We excavate to appropriate depths, compact the subgrade to specified density, and install granular base materials where needed. This foundation work prevents settling and cracking that commonly affect poorly installed walkways.

Fact 2: Expansion joints every 4-6 feet help accommodate concrete movement due to temperature changes. Without proper jointing, sidewalks develop random cracks that compromise both appearance and structural integrity. We install joints at proper intervals and seal them to prevent water infiltration.

Residential walkways offer opportunities for creative design while maintaining functionality. From simple straight paths to curved walkways that follow natural landscape contours, we can create pathways that enhance your property's overall design aesthetic.

Fact 3: Surface texture affects both safety and maintenance requirements. Broom-finished surfaces provide excellent traction in wet conditions while remaining easy to clean. Exposed aggregate finishes offer superior slip resistance but may require more maintenance over time.

Drainage considerations are particularly important for sidewalk installations. We design walkways with proper crown and cross-slope to direct water away from walking surfaces and adjacent structures. This prevents ice formation and extends the walkway's service life.

Commercial sidewalk installations must meet higher standards for durability and safety. We use appropriate concrete strength specifications and reinforcement to handle increased pedestrian traffic and potential maintenance vehicle loads.
