Why Your Walkways Matter

Walkways and sidewalks do more than get you from point A to point B. They guide visitors to your front door, connect different areas of your property, and add to your home's overall look. A cracked or uneven walkway is not just an eyesore. It is a tripping hazard and a liability.

We build concrete walkways and sidewalks in Davis, CA that are level, safe, and built to last. Whether you need a new front walkway, a garden path, or a sidewalk replacement, we handle the entire process from excavation to final finishing.

The Right Way to Build a Walkway

Building a walkway is more than just pouring concrete on the ground. The key to a long-lasting sidewalk is proper base preparation and drainage. If water sits under your walkway, it will cause the concrete to shift, crack, or sink over time.

Here is what we do to ensure your walkway stays in great shape:

  • Remove old concrete or unstable soil before starting
  • Grade the area to direct water away from the walkway
  • Install a compacted gravel base for stability
  • Add wire mesh or rebar for reinforcement
  • Pour concrete at the proper thickness (typically 4 inches)
  • Apply a slip-resistant finish for safety

Design and Finish Options

Your walkway does not have to be plain gray concrete. We offer several finishes to match your home's style and landscaping. A broom finish gives you a textured, slip-resistant surface that works well for high-traffic areas. A smooth trowel finish looks clean and modern but can be slippery when wet, so we usually recommend it for covered walkways only.

If you want something more decorative, we also install stamped concrete walkways that look like stone, brick, or tile. You can add color, borders, or patterns to create a custom look. We can also pour walkways that connect to your concrete patio or driveway for a cohesive design.
