Concrete walkways and entrances

Broom-finished concrete walkway and entrance pad, formed, poured and graded to shed water away from the house.

A concrete walkway is the first thing people walk on at your home. It should be flat, slip-resistant and sloped so water runs away from the house instead of toward the foundation or the front step.

Forming, pouring and finishing

The path is excavated and a compacted granular base is built. Forms are set to line and grade, reinforcement is placed where it is needed, and the concrete is poured, levelled and given a broom finish for grip. Control joints are cut so any cracking happens in a straight line where it is planned.

Tying into the rest of the property

Walkways often meet a driveway, porch, step or garden bed. We set the height and slope so each transition is flush and drains, and can combine concrete with interlock borders or asphalt where the job calls for it.

Questions we get asked

How soon can I walk on a new concrete walkway?

Light foot traffic is usually fine after about a day, but concrete keeps gaining strength for weeks. We give you care instructions for your job when it is poured.

Why do concrete walkways crack?

Most cracking comes from a poorly compacted base, missing control joints or water getting underneath. A solid base, proper jointing and correct slope prevent most of it.

Do you pour concrete walkways as well as asphalt driveways?

Yes. AMPAC does concrete walkways, pads, curbs and steps alongside asphalt and interlock, so one crew can handle the whole front of the property.
