Sidewalks, Walkways & Flatwork

The Importance of Quality Walkways

Your walkways are the first impression visitors get of your home. A clean, level concrete path tells people you take pride in your property. But beyond looks, well-built walkways keep everyone safe. Cracked or uneven sidewalks create trip hazards, especially for kids and older adults.

In Ashby, where we get snow and ice every winter, a properly installed walkway drains water away from your home and prevents ice buildup. Poor drainage leads to puddles that freeze overnight, turning your sidewalk into a skating rink. We design walkways with the right slope so water moves where it should.

Whether you need a new front walkway, a path through your backyard, or a commercial sidewalk for your business, we build it right. Proper base preparation, correct thickness, and quality finishing mean your concrete will last 30 years or more. Your trusted concrete contractor in Ashby ensures every detail is done to professional standards.

Types of Flatwork We Install

Flatwork refers to any horizontal concrete surface. We install all types of flatwork for residential and commercial properties in Ashby and the surrounding areas.

• •Residential Sidewalks: Front walkways, garden paths, and side yard access routes that connect your driveway to your door.
• •Public Sidewalks: Code-compliant municipal sidewalks that meet ADA accessibility standards and local requirements.
• •Commercial Walkways: Durable pathways for retail centers, office buildings, and industrial sites with high foot traffic.
• •Aprons and Transitions: Smooth connections between different surfaces like driveways, garages, and streets.
• •Basement Floors: Level, crack-resistant floors for basements, workshops, and storage areas.
• •Equipment Pads: Reinforced pads for HVAC units, generators, and heavy equipment.

Every project starts with proper excavation and base preparation. We compact the soil, add gravel base, and install rebar or wire mesh for reinforcement. Then we pour, finish, and cure the concrete properly. The result is a smooth, durable surface that handles whatever weather and use you throw at it.

Design Options for Your Walkways

Concrete walkways do not have to be plain gray slabs. You have plenty of design options to match your home and landscape.

Standard Broom Finish

This is the classic textured finish. We drag a broom across wet concrete to create a slip-resistant surface. It is practical, affordable, and looks clean. Perfect for high-traffic areas where safety is the priority.

Stamped and Decorative Concrete

Want the look of brick, stone, or slate without the cost? Stamped concrete gives you high-end style at a fraction of the price. We can add color, texture, and patterns to create a custom look that complements your landscaping.

Exposed Aggregate

This finish reveals the natural stones in the concrete mix. It is durable, slip-resistant, and adds visual interest. Great for garden paths and areas where you want a more natural aesthetic.

We help you choose the right finish for your needs and budget. Whether you want simple and functional or decorative and unique, we make it happen. For larger projects, explore our concrete patio installation services as well.
