Concrete Sidewalks & Walkways
Safe, level walkways that connect your property and handle foot traffic without cracking or settling.
Why Quality Sidewalks Matter
A sidewalk or walkway might seem simple, but it plays an important role in your property. It connects your driveway to your front door, guides visitors safely to your entrance, and adds curb appeal. A poorly built walkway will crack, settle unevenly, and become a tripping hazard. In Muskegon, where we experience freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rain, proper construction is essential.
At NorthWay Muskegon Concrete, we build sidewalks and walkways that stay level and crack-free for decades. We understand local conditions and use proven techniques to ensure your walkway looks good and performs well year after year.
How We Build Safe, Level Walkways
Building a sidewalk the right way takes more than just pouring concrete. Here is what we do to ensure your walkway stays safe and functional:
Proper Excavation and Base
We excavate to the correct depth and remove unstable soil. Then we install a compacted gravel base that provides drainage and prevents settling. This foundation keeps your walkway level and prevents water from pooling underneath.
Correct Grading and Slope
Water needs to drain away from your walkway, not across it. We grade the surface with a slight slope so water runs off instead of creating slippery spots or ice in winter. Proper drainage also prevents water from seeping under the concrete where it can cause heaving and cracks.
Adequate Thickness and Reinforcement
Most sidewalks are poured 4 inches thick with wire mesh or fiber reinforcement. This provides enough strength for foot traffic and prevents large cracks from forming. We also cut control joints at regular intervals to control where minor cracking occurs.
Smooth, Safe Finish
We finish sidewalks with a broom texture that provides traction without being rough on bare feet. This finish is safe in wet weather and easy to keep clean. If you want a more decorative look, we can also provide stamped or textured finishes.
