Concrete Walkways

Concrete Walkways: It’s All in The Approach

Walkways lead people to your home or business.

They are a critical aspect of good exterior design, and we often take them for granted. Walkways need to be durable, safe, and comfortable to walk on.
A well-designed and maintained walkway is inviting, beautiful, and adds significant curb appeal, adding value and visual interest to the front, side, or back of your property. Walkway design can be plain and practical, or it can enhance the home’s architectural style.
More often than not, walkways are not well-maintained and left to deteriorate until they become unsightly, unsafe, and need replacement. In other cases, there are issues with poor solid compaction beneath the concrete that causes the walkways, steps, or porches to sink. When this happens, it creates further damage to the adjacent structures, resulting in dangerous trip hazards. Sometimes, steps and walkways were not built to code, making it difficult, unsafe, and uncomfortable to maneuver.

How We Solve Your Walkway Problems

Whenever we have a project that includes a pathway, steps, or a porch, we always consider how the existing design and layout impact everyday life. Is there a trip hazard? Is it too steep? Does it collect water that can freeze and cause a slip hazard? Is it located or laid out in a way that interferes with the natural flow of traffic?

We consider options that work with the current architectural style of the home or building. Our goal is to not only make sure the walkway is safe and comfortable to navigate but that it also looks good and flows naturally with its surroundings.

For example, we have created steps or ramps into buildings that, although they are significant structures, appear to blend in perfectly with the surrounding design. Despite being a non-traditional walkway addition, these projects were true game-changers that improved accessibility and improved the client’s quality of life.
