Design and Finish Options for Your Walkway

Your walkways and sidewalks do not have to be plain gray slabs. We offer a variety of finishes and design options to create a custom look that complements your home and landscape.

For a smooth, modern appearance, we can create a trowel finish. For added texture and slip resistance, a broom finish is a popular choice. If you want something more distinctive, we offer stamped and decorative concrete that mimics stone, brick, or tile. Colored concrete and exposed aggregate finishes are also great ways to add visual interest.

We can also create curved or winding paths, add borders, or integrate pavers and other materials into the design. The goal is to create a walkway that looks great, functions well, and enhances your property's curb appeal. We will work with you to design a solution that fits your style and budget.

Our Walkway and Flatwork Installation Process

We follow a careful process to ensure your walkways and flatwork are level, durable, and built to code. First, we meet with you to discuss your needs and preferences. We measure the area, assess drainage, and plan the layout.

Next, we prepare the site. We excavate to the proper depth, grade the area for drainage, and compact the soil. A solid base is essential for preventing settling and cracking. We add a layer of gravel for stability and build forms to shape the concrete.

Once the prep work is complete, we pour the concrete and finish it according to your specifications. We add control joints to prevent random cracking and apply a curing compound to help the concrete reach its full strength. After a few days of curing, your new walkway or sidewalk is ready to use. If you also need a new concrete patio, we can coordinate both projects to create a cohesive outdoor space.
