5 Highlights on Concrete Sidewalks

ADA-compliant slopes

We pour sidewalks with proper cross-slopes and grades that meet accessibility requirements.

Proper thickness

Standard 4-inch thickness ensures durability under foot traffic and light equipment.

Stable subbase

Compacted gravel base prevents settling and heaving over time.

Control joints

Joints at 4-5 foot intervals control cracking in predictable locations.

Non-slip finish

Broom texture provides safe traction in wet and icy conditions.

Our sidewalks are built to last decades with minimal maintenance, using proper materials and installation techniques.

Signs You Need Concrete Sidewalks

1. Trip hazards from raised sections

Sections that have lifted or settled create liability risks that require replacement.

2. Extensive cracking

When cracks are widespread or sections have broken apart, patching won't solve the problem.

3. Tree root damage

Roots lifting sidewalk sections require removal and proper installation with root barriers.

4. Municipality notice

Many cities require property owners to maintain sidewalks and may issue repair notices.
