From simple straight paths to curved walkways with decorative borders, we handle projects of all sizes.

Why Choose Concrete for Your Walkway?

Concrete is the best material for most walkways and sidewalks. It offers durability, safety, and design flexibility at a reasonable cost. Here are the key benefits:

• Long-lasting: Properly installed concrete walkways can last 30 to 40 years with minimal maintenance.
• Safe surface: Concrete provides a smooth, even surface that reduces trip hazards. We can add texture for slip resistance in wet conditions.
• ADA compliant: Concrete makes it easy to build accessible walkways that meet accessibility standards for wheelchair users and those with mobility challenges.
• Weather resistant: Concrete handles Ohio's freeze-thaw cycles better than many alternatives when properly installed.
• Low maintenance: Concrete walkways need little more than occasional sweeping and washing to stay clean.
• Design options: Choose from plain concrete, stamped patterns, colored concrete, or borders to match your landscape.

How We Install Your Walkway

Quality walkways start with proper planning and preparation. Here is our process:

Types of Walkways We Build

We install concrete walkways for many purposes. Here are some common projects:

• Front entry walkways: The path from your driveway or street to your front door. This is often the first thing visitors see.
• Side yard paths: Connect your front yard to your backyard or provide access to gates and utility areas.
• Garden walkways: Create paths through landscaping, between flower beds, or to garden features.
• Backyard paths: Connect your patio, deck, shed, or other outdoor features.
• Accessible ramps: Replace steps with gentle slopes for wheelchair access or mobility assistance.
• Commercial sidewalks: Public sidewalks and pedestrian paths for businesses and municipal projects.

No matter what type of walkway you need, we have the experience to build it right. We also handle concrete repair and restoration if you have an existing walkway that needs attention.

Safety and Accessibility Matters

Walkways should be safe for everyone who uses them. We pay attention to details that make a difference:

• Proper width for comfortable passage, typically 3 to 4 feet for residential walkways.
• Gentle slopes that meet ADA requirements when needed, usually no more than 1:12 ratio.
• Even, smooth surfaces that eliminate trip hazards.
• Adequate drainage so water does not pool on the walkway.
• Slip-resistant finishes for safety in wet or icy conditions.
• Proper lighting considerations, with room for path lights or fixtures.
