Why Quality Walkways Matter

Your walkways and sidewalks do more than just get you from point A to point B. They're part of your home's first impression, and they need to be safe and functional. Professionally installed concrete walkways provide level, slip-resistant surfaces that stand up to foot traffic and weather without constant maintenance.

Cracked, uneven, or poorly designed walkways create safety hazards and detract from your property's appearance. New concrete flatwork eliminates trip hazards, improves drainage, and gives your property a clean, well-maintained look.

Flatwork We Install

  • Front walkways: From your driveway or street to your front door.
  • Side yard pathways: Connecting backyard access or utility areas.
  • Garden paths: Winding walkways through landscaping and outdoor spaces.
  • Public sidewalks: Compliant with city standards and ADA requirements.
  • Steps and landings: Safe transitions between elevation changes.

Design Your Walkways to Match Your Style

Your walkways don't have to be plain gray concrete. We offer multiple finish options so you can create pathways that complement your home's architecture and landscaping.

Standard Broom Finish

This classic finish provides excellent traction and a clean, uniform appearance. It's cost-effective, practical, and works well for any property style.

Exposed Aggregate

Exposed aggregate reveals the natural stone and texture within the concrete. It's attractive, slip-resistant, and hides dirt better than smooth finishes. Perfect for driveways and high-traffic walkways.

Stamped Patterns

Want something more decorative? We can create stamped concrete walkways that look like stone, brick, or tile. You get a high-end look without the high-end price or maintenance hassles.

Borders and Accents

Add visual interest with colored borders, scored patterns, or decorative bands. These details make your walkways stand out and can tie together different elements of your landscaping.

Built to Last: Our Installation Process

Quality walkways start with proper preparation. We don't just pour concrete on top of dirt and hope it lasts. Here's what we do to ensure your flatwork stays level and crack-free for years.

Step 1: Layout and Excavation

We mark out the exact path and width of your walkway, then excavate to the proper depth. This allows room for base material and the concrete itself.

Step 2: Base Preparation

We install a compacted gravel base that provides drainage and prevents settling. The base is leveled and graded so water flows away from structures instead of pooling under your concrete.

Step 3: Forming and Reinforcement

Forms are set to create clean edges and proper slopes for drainage. We add wire mesh or rebar reinforcement for strength, especially in high-traffic areas or where soil conditions require it.

Step 4: Pouring and Finishing

We pour the concrete at the right thickness (typically 4 inches for walkways), then finish it with your chosen texture. Control joints are cut to manage cracking, and edges are tooled for a professional appearance.
