Muskogee Concrete Pros › Services › Sidewalks and Walkways
Muskogee Concrete Pros is the Muskogee starting point for concrete sidewalks and walkways. Describe the route, the length and width you want and whether any old walk needs to come out. Request a free quote and a local concrete contractor will call you back to measure.
Common requests include a new front walk on a home that only has stepping stones, a side path to the backyard gate, a walk to a detached garage or shop, and replacing panels that have lifted near a tree. Small jobs can often be grouped with a driveway or patio to save on setup.
Width, slope and comfort
A walk that two people can use side by side, or that fits a wheelchair or a stroller, needs more width than a narrow garden path. Gentle slopes work better than a single step, and where a step is needed, it should be a consistent height. Ask about a broom finish for grip during an ice storm, and keep the walk pitched so water sheds off instead of freezing in a puddle.
Where the walk meets the house, leave an expansion joint so the two can move separately.
Trees, roots and trip hazards
Large oaks, pecans and maples can lift walks as roots grow. Ask whether the new walk can curve around a tree, or whether a root barrier makes sense. Where panels have heaved, cutting and replacing a short section may cost less than a full replacement; see concrete repair.
City sidewalks along the street
The public sidewalk in front of a home inside city limits may fall under city rules for width, slope and curb ramps, and some work there needs approval. Check with the city before replacing it. Ask the contractor whether they have done right-of-way work and who handles any permit. For an entry step in the same finish, see concrete steps.
Frequently asked questions
How wide should a front walk be?
Many owners choose about the width of the front door or a bit wider so two people can pass. The contractor can suggest what fits the yard.
Can the walk be colored or stamped?
Yes. Decorative finishes work well on entry walks; see stamped concrete for options.
