Concrete sidewalks and walkways, straight or curved
A walkway is a small pour that people look at every single day. We take the time to get the line right, whether that is a straight run or a curve bent into the forms by hand.
Front walks, side yard paths and garden walkways, formed to the shape you want and finished so they never get slick.
What we pour
Front walks from the driveway or street up to the porch.
Curved garden paths formed by bending the timber on site.
Narrow side yard paths between the house and the fence line.
Replacement of broken, lifted or trip hazard sidewalk sections.
Getting the shape right
We lay the line out on the ground and walk it with you before we form.
Curves are cut and bent into the forms so the edge stays smooth.
Walkways get wire and rebar just like a driveway does.
A broom finish across the direction of travel gives you grip in the rain.

FAQ
Questions about sidewalks
How wide should a front walk be?
Three feet works for a single person, four feet lets two people walk side by side comfortably, and that is what most homeowners end up choosing for a front entry. We will lay it out on the ground so you can see it before we pour.
Can you fix a sidewalk that has lifted and become a trip hazard?
Yes. In most cases the cause is a root or a settled base. We break out the lifted section, deal with what pushed it up, and re-pour it flush.
Do you charge for estimates?
No. Estimates are free, every time, with no obligation. Call or text (469) 334-7552 and we will come out and price the job.
What does a concrete driveway cost in Memphis?
It depends on the square footage, the thickness, whether there is an old slab to tear out and haul away, how difficult the access is and which finish you choose. That is why we look at it in person rather than quoting a number over the phone. The estimate is free either way.
Do you reinforce your concrete?
Yes. Rebar and wire mesh go into our pours as standard, tied and chaired off the ground so the steel sits inside the slab where it does its job. Reinforcement is the difference between concrete that cracks and stays put and concrete that cracks and separates.
