Sidewalks, Walkways & Flatwork
We install smooth, level sidewalks and flatwork that improve safety, accessibility, and curb appeal around your property.
Flatwork That Connects Your Property
Sidewalks and walkways are the paths that connect your driveway to your front door, your patio to your yard, and your home to the street. They need to be level, safe, and built to last. A cracked or uneven sidewalk is not just an eyesore. It is a tripping hazard and a liability.
We pour all types of flatwork for homes and businesses in Quincy and Adams County. Whether you need a simple front walk, a winding garden path, or a full sidewalk replacement, we handle the job from start to finish. We also make sure your flatwork meets local code requirements and ADA accessibility standards when needed.
Good flatwork blends into your property while serving a clear purpose. We design and install concrete walkways that look great and hold up to foot traffic, weather, and time.
What We Mean by Flatwork
Flatwork is any horizontal concrete surface that is not a driveway or patio. It includes sidewalks, walkways, pathways, curbs, and other flat surfaces around your property. Here are some of the most common flatwork projects we handle.
Public and Private Sidewalks
Public sidewalks run along the street and connect your property to the neighborhood. Private sidewalks are the paths on your property that lead to your front door, garage, or backyard. We install both, and we make sure they meet city codes and standards. If your sidewalk is cracked or sinking, we can remove the old concrete and pour a new one that will last for decades.
Garden and Landscape Walkways
A walkway through your garden or yard adds function and beauty. We can pour straight paths or curved walkways that follow the natural flow of your landscape. You can choose from plain concrete, stamped designs, or colored finishes to match your outdoor style.
Commercial Flatwork
Businesses need wide, durable sidewalks that handle heavy foot traffic. We pour flatwork for storefronts, office buildings, parking lots, and more. We also ensure compliance with ADA regulations for accessibility, including proper slopes, curb cuts, and detectable warning surfaces.
Aprons, Curbs, and Utility Pads
Aprons connect your driveway to the street. Curbs define edges and control water flow. Utility pads provide a stable base for HVAC units, generators, and other equipment. We pour all of these with the same attention to detail as our larger projects.
No job is too small. If you need a simple walkway or a complex network of paths, we can design and install it. We often coordinate flatwork with other projects like driveway installations or patio builds to keep everything on schedule.
Building Flatwork That Lasts
The key to long-lasting flatwork is preparation. If the base is not solid, the concrete will crack or settle. If the slope is wrong, water will pool and cause damage. We take the time to do it right.
- Excavation and Grading: We dig out the area and grade it so water drains away from your home or building.
- Compacted Base: We use crushed gravel or stone and compact it thoroughly to prevent settling and shifting.
- Forms and Reinforcement: We set up forms to shape the concrete and add wire mesh or rebar where needed for extra strength.
- Proper Concrete Mix: We use the right mix for outdoor conditions, with the correct water ratio and air entrainment for freeze-thaw protection.
- Finishing and Curing: We finish the surface with a broom texture for traction or a smooth finish for a clean look. Then we protect the concrete while it cures to ensure maximum strength.
These steps make the difference between a sidewalk that lasts 30 years and one that cracks in five. We have been doing this for a long time, and we know what works in Quincy. We also follow local codes and standards to make sure your flatwork passes inspection the first time.
After your flatwork is installed, we recommend sealing it every few years to protect against moisture, stains, and wear. A sealed sidewalk stays cleaner and lasts longer.
