Concrete Sidewalks & Walkways
Professional concrete sidewalk and walkway installation in Greenville, NC. We create safe, attractive pathways that enhance accessibility and curb appeal for your property.
Benefits of Concrete Sidewalks and Walkways
Concrete is the ideal material for sidewalks and walkways because it offers:
- Durability: Concrete walkways last 30 to 40 years or more with minimal maintenance.
- Safety: A properly textured surface provides good traction in wet conditions, reducing slip and fall risks.
- Low Maintenance: Concrete does not need regular staining, sealing, or repairs like wood or gravel paths.
- Weather Resistance: Concrete holds up to rain, heat, freezing temperatures, and daily foot traffic without damage.
- Property Value: Well-maintained sidewalks and walkways enhance curb appeal and make your home more attractive to buyers.
- Design Flexibility: You can create straight paths, gentle curves, or custom shapes to fit your landscape.
- Accessibility: Smooth, level concrete walkways make it easy for everyone to navigate your property, including those with mobility challenges.

Our Sidewalk Installation Process
Here is what you can expect when we install your walkway:
Step 1: Planning and Layout
We work with you to plan the path route, width, and any curves or features. We mark out the path and discuss design options.
Step 2: Excavation and Base Prep
We excavate to the proper depth, grade for drainage away from buildings, and install a compacted gravel base for stability.
Step 3: Forming
We set forms to define the edges of your walkway and ensure proper width and slope.
Step 4: Concrete Pour and Finish
We pour the concrete and apply your chosen finish. For walkways, we typically recommend a broom finish for traction, but decorative options are available.
Step 5: Curing and Cleanup
We protect the concrete as it cures and clean up the work area. Your walkway will be ready to use within a few days.
Design and Finish Options
Customize your walkway to match your home and landscape:
- Standard Width: Most walkways are 3 to 5 feet wide, depending on their purpose and location.
- Broom Finish: The most popular choice for walkways, providing excellent traction and a clean appearance.
- Stamped Patterns: Make your walkway look like natural stone or brick with decorative stamping.
- Colored Concrete: Add color to coordinate with your home or landscaping.
- Curved Paths: Create flowing, natural-looking paths that follow the contours of your landscape.
- Decorative Borders: Add contrasting colors or patterns to the edges of your walkway.
