Concrete Sidewalks & Walkways

Concrete Sidewalks & Walkways built by Greg

A walkway is the first thing guests and delivery drivers use, and a bad one is a trip waiting to happen. Panels lifted by tree roots, edges that have dropped below their neighbors, joints full of moss and a surface that turns slick every time it rains. Along the street, a heaved public sidewalk can also end up being the homeowner's problem to fix. Other times there's simply no path at all, and everyone wears a muddy track across the lawn to the shop, the garden or the back door.

Greg Myers Construction pours new concrete sidewalks and walkways and replaces damaged ones around Rainier, Lacey, Tumwater, Centralia and Chehalis. Greg lays out paths that follow how people actually walk, from the driveway to the front door, around the side of the house, or out to a detached garage or barn. Each walk gets a compacted base, a slight cross-slope so water runs off, a broom finish for traction and control joints spaced to keep cracks tidy. Where roots caused the damage, he plans the new walk so the same tree doesn't lift it again.

What's included

Concrete Sidewalks & Walkways: what's included

  • 01

    Front Entry Walks

    Walks from the driveway or street to the front door, wide enough for two people side by side.

  • 02

    Side Yard & Garden Paths

    Paths around the house and out to the shed, garden or shop, so nobody is walking through mud.

  • 03

    Public Sidewalk Replacement

    Removing and replacing damaged sidewalk panels along the street, with the right-of-way permit the city requires.

  • 04

    Trip Hazard Repair

    Lifted or sunken panels cut out and repoured flush, so edges stop catching toes and mower wheels.

  • 05

    Root Damage Fixes

    Rebuilding sections lifted by trees, with a new layout or deeper base so roots don't repeat the damage.

  • 06

    Decorative Walk Finishes

    Exposed aggregate, color, stamped borders or a clean broom finish to match the house and patio.

Questions

Concrete Sidewalks & Walkways FAQs

Who is responsible for the sidewalk in front of my house?

In many Washington cities the adjacent property owner is responsible for keeping the sidewalk safe, even though it sits on public right-of-way. The rules vary by city, so check with yours. When the repair is yours to make, Greg handles the permit and the replacement.

How do you keep a walkway from getting slippery in the rain?

Texture and drainage. A broom or exposed aggregate finish gives grip when it's wet, and a slight slope keeps water from standing on the surface. In shady spots where moss takes hold, sealing and an occasional cleaning keep the walk from turning green.

What affects the cost of a new walkway or sidewalk?

Length and width, removal of old concrete, how much digging and base the soil needs, permits for work along the street, and the finish you choose. Curves and steps add labor. Greg's on-site estimate is free and covers all of it.

Can you fix just the broken panels instead of the whole walk?

Yes. If most of the walk is sound, Greg cuts out the damaged panels at the joints and pours new ones flush with the rest. New concrete looks a little lighter at first and tends to blend in over time.

Can a new walkway tie into my steps or patio?

Yes. Greg pours steps and patios as well, so walks, landings and steps can be laid out together with matching heights and drainage.
