Our Concrete Walkway and Sidewalk Services

From brand-new installations to repairs and ADA-compliant upgrades, we provide a full range of concrete walkway services for New Orleans homeowners and businesses.

New Walkway Installation

For properties without existing walkways or those upgrading from stepping stones, gravel, or worn dirt paths, we build from the ground up. This includes clearing and grading the path area, compacting the sub-base, setting forms, and pouring a reinforced concrete slab. Standard residential walkways are typically 3 to 4 feet wide and 4 inches thick, though we adjust dimensions based on expected foot traffic and your property’s layout.

Walkway Replacement

Cracked, heaved, or sunken walkways are more than an eyesore. They are a tripping hazard. When damage has spread across multiple sections or the walkway has shifted beyond what patching can fix, full replacement is the right call. We remove the old concrete, address the soil issues underneath, and pour a new walkway with proper reinforcement and drainage grading.

Walkway Repair and Section Replacement

When cracking or settling is limited to one or two panels, targeted section replacement restores safety and appearance without the cost of a full tear-out. We evaluate the cause of the damage, whether tree root intrusion, poor drainage, or soil movement, before recommending any repair approach.

Walkway Extensions and Additions

Need a path from your driveway to the side gate or from the back porch to a detached garage? We add new walkway sections and match them to existing concrete in thickness, finish, and grade. Proper joint placement between old and new sections prevents separation over time.

ADA-Compliant Walkways

For commercial properties and homeowners planning for accessibility, we install walkways that meet ADA standards, including proper width (at least 36 inches clear), cross-slope no greater than 2%, slip-resistant finishes, and truncated dome detectable warning surfaces at curb transitions where required.

Concrete Finish Options

• Broom Finish: The most popular choice. Fine lines brushed into the surface provide reliable traction in wet conditions. Practical, affordable, and well-suited to New Orleans weather.
• Exposed Aggregate: Reveals natural stone and gravel beneath the surface for a textured, decorative look with excellent grip.
• Stamped Concrete: Mimics brick, flagstone, slate, or cobblestone through patterns pressed into wet concrete. Delivers a high-end look without the cost of individual pavers.
• Smooth Trowel Finish: A flat, polished surface best suited for covered walkways or decorative accents, as it can become slippery when wet.
• Colored Concrete: Integral color mixed into the concrete before pouring creates a consistent tone throughout, pairing well with stamped or broom finishes.

Our Walkway Installation Process

We follow a consistent process on every project to make sure nothing gets missed.

• Site Assessment and Layout: We evaluate the walkway area, check soil conditions, identify tree roots or drainage concerns, and establish the best path layout.
• Old Surface Removal: We break up and haul away existing concrete, clearing the area down to soil level.
• Grading and Sub-Base Preparation: We establish proper slope for water runoff and compact the sub-base to create a stable foundation.
• Form Building: Wood or metal forms define the walkway’s shape, width, and edges. For curved walkways, we use flexible form material for smooth arcs.
• Reinforcement Placement: Rebar, wire mesh, or fiber reinforcement is placed before pouring to resist cracking from soil movement and temperature changes.
• Concrete Pouring and Finishing: Concrete is poured, spread evenly, and finished to your chosen texture. Edges are tooled for a clean, rounded profile.
• Control Joint Cutting: Joints are cut at regular intervals so any cracks form along planned lines instead of randomly across the slab.
• Curing: We apply a curing compound to retain moisture. Stay off the walkway for 24 to 48 hours for light foot traffic and up to 7 days before full use.

What Affects the Cost of a Concrete Walkway?

We provide detailed estimates after the site assessment so there are no surprises. Key pricing factors include:

• Walkway size and length: A simple 30-foot front walk costs less than a full network of paths connecting multiple areas.
• Site conditions: Old walkway removal, tree root remediation, and limited equipment access can add to the scope.
• Finish type: Broom finish is the most affordable. Exposed aggregate, stamped patterns, and colored concrete increase the price.
• Reinforcement and drainage work: Heavier reinforcement near large trees or on problem soils is factored into the estimate.
• ADA compliance: Wider paths, specific slopes, and detectable warning surfaces add to material and labor costs for commercial projects.
