Sidewalks, Walkways & Flatwork
Professional concrete flatwork that enhances curb appeal and accessibility
Sidewalks and walkways connect your home to the street and guide visitors to your front door. They need to be safe, attractive, and durable enough to handle daily foot traffic and weather year after year.

Why Concrete Works Best for Walkways
Concrete sidewalks and walkways offer advantages over other materials like pavers, stone, or asphalt. Concrete provides a smooth, stable surface that is easier to shovel in winter and safer for people with mobility challenges. It does not shift or settle like pavers can, and it does not develop potholes like asphalt.
A properly installed concrete walkway lasts 30 years or more with minimal maintenance. You do not need to worry about weeds growing between stones, individual pavers sinking, or constant repairs. Concrete also gives you design flexibility through stamped patterns, exposed aggregate, or colored finishes that add visual interest while maintaining the practical benefits of concrete.
Meeting Local Sidewalk Requirements
If you have received a notice from Hempstead or Nassau County about repairing or replacing a public sidewalk in front of your property, we can help. Property owners are typically responsible for maintaining sidewalks adjacent to their land, and municipalities enforce standards for safety and accessibility.
Code Compliance
We understand local building codes and ADA requirements for sidewalk width, slope, surface texture, and accessibility features. We handle permit applications and ensure your sidewalk passes inspection the first time.
Trip Hazard Elimination
Uneven sidewalks create dangerous trip hazards and liability concerns. We can replace problematic sections or level existing slabs to eliminate height differences that cause people to trip.
Proper Drainage
Sidewalks must be graded to drain water away from buildings and prevent ice buildup. We design and install walkways with proper slope and drainage features.
Design and Finish Options
Your walkways do not have to be plain gray concrete. We offer several finish options to enhance appearance:
Broom finish provides a slip-resistant texture ideal for areas exposed to rain and snow. Exposed aggregate reveals the natural stone in the concrete for an attractive, durable surface. Stamped patterns create the look of stone, brick, or custom designs. Borders and accent strips add visual interest without much extra cost.
We can also create curved walkways, varied widths, and decorative elements that complement your landscaping and home architecture. Whether you want a simple, functional path or an eye-catching decorative walkway, we can bring your vision to life. For properties that need multiple concrete features, we coordinate sidewalks with driveways and patios to create a cohesive look.
