Replacing damaged walking surfaces
Common signs a sidewalk section may need replacement include raised edges between panels, wide cracks, crumbling surfaces and areas that hold water after rain.
Accessibility considerations
A comfortable sidewalk has a consistent width, gentle slopes and smooth transitions between panels and adjoining surfaces. These details matter for strollers, wheelchairs, walkers and anyone carrying groceries. If your project needs to meet a specific local requirement, let us know during the estimate so it can be discussed.
Drainage
Sidewalks are typically built with a slight cross-slope so rain sheds off the surface instead of collecting. Good drainage also helps reduce soil movement under the slab.
Installation overview
A typical sidewalk installation follows these steps:
- Remove existing damaged concrete, if any.
- Grade and compact the base.
- Set forms for width, slope and alignment.
- Place, finish and joint the concrete.
- Allow the concrete to cure before regular use.
Service area: concrete sidewalks are available to homeowners in Abilene and across the Dallas–Fort Worth region.
