Walkways, Steps & Sidewalks

Concrete walkways, steps and sidewalks

The walk to your front door is the first surface every visitor uses. It needs to be even, well-drained and safe in icy weather.

Walkways and paths

Walkways can be simple broom-finished concrete, or colored and stamped to tie into a patio. Gentle slope away from the house and consistent joint spacing keep water moving and cracking under control.

Steps and stoops

Concrete steps need consistent rise and run so they're comfortable and safe, plus a textured finish for winter traction. Failing steps often show the problem at the base, where water and deicer collect.

Sidewalks in the public right-of-way are subject to city standards and typically require a permit, which is confirmed before work begins.

Common questions

How wide should a front walkway be?

Around four feet comfortably fits one person with room to pass. Wider walks feel more generous and make it easier for two people to walk side by side.

What's the safest finish for concrete steps?

A broom or light texture finish, with a slip-resistant additive in any sealer, gives the best grip in wet and icy conditions.

Can steps be resurfaced instead of replaced?

Steps that are structurally sound with surface wear can sometimes be resurfaced. Cracked, shifting or crumbling steps are usually replaced.
