Sidewalks, Walkways & Flatwork
Create safe, attractive pathways that enhance your property's curb appeal.
Professional Concrete Walkways & Flatwork
Your walkways and sidewalks get more foot traffic than any other concrete on your property. They need to be level, slip-resistant, and durable enough to handle daily use and harsh weather. Cracked or uneven walkways create trip hazards and hurt your home's appearance.
We install concrete sidewalks, walkways, and flatwork in Perth Amboy for homes and businesses. From front entry walks to side pathways and public sidewalks, we create smooth, safe surfaces that look great and last for decades.

Design Options and Safety Features
Concrete walkways don't have to be boring. We offer several finish options to match your style. Standard broom finish provides excellent slip resistance and works for most applications. For a more upscale look, consider stamped patterns that mimic stone or brick. Exposed aggregate creates texture and visual interest while staying slip-resistant.
Safety is our priority. We ensure proper slope for drainage so water doesn't pool on walkways. We install control joints at regular intervals to manage cracking. For steps and transitions, we create smooth, code-compliant slopes and add texture for traction. All our walkways meet local building codes and ADA requirements when applicable.
Our Installation Process
Layout and Excavation
We mark the walkway path and check for underground utilities. Then we excavate to the proper depth, typically 6-8 inches, to allow for base material and concrete thickness. Proper excavation prevents future settling.
Base Preparation
We install and compact crushed stone base material. This creates a stable foundation and helps with drainage. The base thickness depends on your soil conditions and the walkway's expected use, similar to what we do for driveway installations.
Forms and Reinforcement
We set forms to define the walkway edges and ensure the correct width and slope. Wire mesh or fiber reinforcement is added to prevent cracking. For longer walkways, we plan expansion joint locations.
Pour and Finish
We pour the concrete and work it into all areas of the forms. After leveling and smoothing, we apply your chosen finish. Edges are rounded for a clean look and to prevent chipping. Control joints are cut before the concrete fully hardens.
