Concrete Sidewalks & Walkways
Create safe, attractive pathways that connect your home to the street and throughout your property.
Why Sidewalks and Walkways Matter
Your sidewalk is often the first thing people see when they visit your home. A well-built concrete walkway creates a welcoming entrance and provides safe passage for everyone who comes and goes. More importantly, it protects people from tripping hazards and gives them a solid path even in wet weather.
We install concrete sidewalks in Redwood City that meet local building codes and ADA requirements when needed. Our walkways stay level over time because we prepare the base correctly and use proper reinforcement. You get a surface that handles foot traffic, strollers, and wheelchairs without problems.
The Right Way to Build a Walkway
Many sidewalks crack or settle within a few years because of poor base preparation or inadequate thickness. We avoid these problems by excavating to the correct depth, compacting the base material, and pouring concrete to the right thickness for the expected traffic. Proper drainage prevents water from pooling or undermining the walkway over time.
Every sidewalk and walkway we install includes:
- Minimum 4 inches of concrete thickness for residential walkways
- Properly compacted gravel base for stability
- Steel reinforcement or fiber mesh to prevent cracking
- Control joints every 4 to 5 feet to manage expansion
- Slight slope for water drainage away from walking surface
- Broom finish or other slip-resistant texture for safety
Connecting Your Property
Walkways do more than connect your house to the street. They create paths through your yard to reach patios, garden areas, side gates, or detached garages. We design pathways that make sense for how you use your property. The width depends on the purpose - a main front walk should be at least 4 feet wide, while side paths can be narrower.
You can also add decorative elements to make your walkway stand out. Colored concrete, exposed aggregate, or stamped patterns give your sidewalk a custom look without sacrificing durability. We help you choose options that fit your budget and complement your home style.
Replacing Old or Damaged Sidewalks
If your current sidewalk has major cracks, uneven sections, or trip hazards, replacement might be the best option. We remove the old concrete, address any base issues, and pour a new walkway that meets current standards. This is also a good time to widen narrow walks or change the layout to work better for your needs.
For sidewalks with minor damage, we offer concrete repair services that can restore the surface without full replacement. We will assess your sidewalk and recommend the most cost-effective solution. Either way, you end up with a safe, attractive walkway that adds value to your property.
