Concrete Sidewalks & Walkways
Create safe, attractive pathways that connect your spaces and enhance your property.
Why Sidewalks and Walkways Matter
Good sidewalks and walkways do more than just get you from point A to point B. They keep you safe by providing a level, slip-resistant surface. They protect your lawn from wear patterns and mud tracks. They add curb appeal and make your property more inviting.
In Norwalk, we see plenty of cracked, uneven sidewalks that create tripping hazards. We also see poorly planned walkways that collect water or lead to muddy spots. When you invest in quality concrete walkways, you solve these problems for good.
Whether you need a front walkway from the street to your door, a side path to your backyard, or a garden walkway, concrete gives you a permanent solution. It handles foot traffic, wheelchairs, strollers, and everything else you throw at it. Check out our full range of residential concrete services.
Professional Installation Standards
The difference between a sidewalk that lasts and one that fails comes down to how it is installed. At RightWay Norwalk Concrete, we follow proven methods that deliver long-term results.
What We Do for Every Walkway Project
- Accurate layout and measurement to ensure proper placement
- Excavation to proper depth with allowance for base material
- Compacted gravel base for stability and drainage
- Forms set to correct elevation and slope
- Steel reinforcement or fiber mesh to control cracking
- Quality concrete with the right mix for outdoor use
- Control joints placed at proper intervals
- Finishing techniques for safety and appearance
We pay attention to details like making sure your walkway slopes away from buildings to prevent water problems. We create expansion joints where your walkway meets other concrete to allow for natural movement. These details prevent the common issues we see with amateur concrete work. If you need other flatwork services, explore our concrete slab and flatwork options.
Design and Width Considerations
The standard sidewalk width is 4 feet, which allows two people to walk side by side comfortably. However, your specific needs might be different. A narrow garden path might only need 3 feet, while a main front walkway could benefit from 5 or 6 feet of width.
Thickness matters too. Most residential sidewalks are 4 inches thick, which is perfect for foot traffic. We can go thicker if you need the walkway to handle occasional vehicle traffic or heavy equipment.
Beyond the basics, you can add visual interest with borders, scoring patterns, or exposed aggregate finishes. Stamped concrete can give your walkway the look of brick or stone. We work with you to create a design that fits your budget and complements your property. Consider pairing your new walkway with our custom concrete patio installation.
