Concrete Sidewalks & Walkways
Safe, durable walkways that connect your property and improve curb appeal
A cracked, uneven sidewalk is more than an eyesore. It is a safety hazard that can lead to trips, falls, and liability issues. Whether you need to replace an old walkway in Daly City or create new paths around your property, we build concrete sidewalks and walkways that stand the test of time.
Safety and Code Compliance Come First
In Daly City, sidewalks must meet specific code requirements for width, slope, and drainage. As property owners, you are responsible for maintaining the sidewalk in front of your home. If the city issues a repair notice, you need to act quickly to avoid fines.
We handle all the details, from obtaining permits to making sure your new sidewalk meets local codes. We also ensure proper drainage so water flows away from your foundation rather than pooling on the walkway. These details matter, especially during our rainy season.
Where We Install Walkways
Concrete walkways serve many purposes around your property. Here is where we commonly install them:
- Public sidewalks: Meet city requirements for the walkway in front of your home
- Front entry paths: Create an inviting approach from the street or driveway to your door
- Backyard pathways: Connect your patio to the garden, shed, or side yard
- Commercial walkways: Guide customers safely from parking areas to your business entrance
- Garden paths: Add structure and accessibility to your landscaping
Each application has different requirements for width, reinforcement, and finish. We customize the approach based on foot traffic, location, and your budget.
Design Options for Your Walkway
While many sidewalks use a standard broom finish for safety and traction, you have options to make your walkway stand out. Stamped concrete can mimic natural stone or brick at a lower cost. Colored concrete lets you match or complement your home exterior. Decorative borders and patterns add visual interest without sacrificing functionality.
Durability Features That Matter
We build walkways to last by using proper thickness, steel reinforcement, and control joints placed at the right intervals. These features prevent the random cracking that ruins so many concrete walkways. We also pay attention to the base preparation, making sure we have compacted soil and a stable foundation before pouring concrete.
The result is a walkway that stays level and crack-free for decades. You get peace of mind knowing your family, guests, and visitors can walk safely on your property.
Replacing Old Sidewalks
If you have a damaged sidewalk that needs replacement, we handle the entire process. We remove the old concrete, dispose of it properly, prepare the base, and install your new sidewalk. Most residential sidewalk replacements take 2 to 3 days. You can walk on the new concrete within 24 hours, though we recommend giving it a week before driving heavy equipment over it.
Many Daly City homeowners also need help with concrete repair and restoration for sidewalks that have minor damage but do not need full replacement yet. We can assess your situation and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
