Service Detail

Sidewalks

Residential and commercial concrete sidewalk installation, repair, and replacement with proper grading and code compliance.

Sidewalk installation

Well-constructed sidewalks provide safe pedestrian access, enhance curb appeal, and add value to your property. Our sidewalk installations follow local code requirements for width, thickness, and accessibility compliance. We ensure proper grading for drainage and smooth, level surfaces for safe walking.

Residential sidewalks typically connect the driveway or street to the front entrance, while commercial sidewalks must accommodate higher traffic volumes and comply with ADA accessibility requirements. We handle projects of all sizes from single-family homes to commercial developments.

Repair and replacement

Over time, sidewalks can develop cracks, settle unevenly, or become damaged by tree roots and freeze-thaw cycles. Uneven sidewalk sections create tripping hazards and can be a liability for property owners. We repair or replace damaged sections to restore safe, level walking surfaces.

For minor cracks and surface damage, patching and resurfacing may be sufficient. For more extensive damage, replacement of the affected section is the most effective solution. We match the color and finish of existing concrete as closely as possible for a seamless repair.

Decorative options

Sidewalks do not have to be plain gray concrete. Stamped patterns, coloring, and exposed aggregate finishes are available to create a more attractive walkway that complements your property. Decorative sidewalks add visual interest and can increase curb appeal.

Broom finishes provide a slip-resistant surface that is ideal for pedestrian walkways. A light broom finish is standard for most sidewalk installations and provides safe traction in wet conditions.

Code and permit requirements

Most municipalities require permits for sidewalk work, and the installation must meet local code requirements for width, thickness, and accessibility. ADA requirements for commercial sidewalks include minimum width, slope maximums, and detectable warning surfaces at intersections.

We handle the permit process and ensure your sidewalk meets all applicable requirements. Proper documentation of code compliance protects you from liability and ensures the work passes inspection.

Standard residential sidewalks are 4 inches thick. Commercial sidewalks and driveways crossings typically require 5-6 inches with reinforcement.
Do I need a permit for sidewalk repair?
Most municipalities require permits for sidewalk work. We handle the permit process to ensure your project is properly permitted and inspected.
