Sidewalks, Walkways & Flatwork

Why Quality Flatwork Matters

Sidewalks and walkways are the first things people notice when they approach your property. They guide visitors from the street to your door, connect different areas of your yard, and provide safe paths for everyone who lives or works there.

But these concrete surfaces do more than just look good. They need to be level, stable, and properly sloped to prevent water pooling. In Hallandale Beach, where we get heavy rain, good drainage is essential. A well-built walkway won't crack, settle, or become a tripping hazard.

That's where professional flatwork comes in. When we install sidewalks and walkways, we prepare the ground correctly, use the right concrete mix, and finish it properly so you get decades of service without constant repairs.

Types of Flatwork We Install

Flatwork is any horizontal concrete surface. We handle all types of concrete flatwork for residential and commercial properties throughout Hallandale Beach and the surrounding area.

• Front walkways from the street or driveway to your front door
• Backyard pathways connecting patios, pools, and garden areas
• Public sidewalks along streets and property lines
• Wheelchair ramps and ADA-compliant access routes
• Courtyard flooring and outdoor gathering spaces
• Commercial walkways for businesses and shopping centers

Each project is different. Some walkways are straight and simple, while others curve around landscaping or include steps to handle elevation changes. We design and build walkways that fit your property's unique layout and meet local building codes.

You can choose from standard concrete finishes or upgrade to decorative options like stamped patterns, exposed aggregate, or colored concrete that matches your home's style.

Our Installation Process for Walkways

Installing concrete flatwork correctly requires attention to detail at every stage. Here's how we ensure your sidewalk or walkway is built to last.

Site Preparation

We mark out the path, excavate to the proper depth, and remove any roots or debris that could cause future settling. The base preparation is critical. We compact the soil, add a layer of gravel for drainage and stability, and grade everything to ensure water flows away from buildings.

Forms and Reinforcement

Wood or metal forms define the edges of your walkway and keep the concrete in place while it cures. We install wire mesh or rebar reinforcement to prevent cracking and add strength to the slab.

Pouring and Finishing

We pour the concrete, screed it level, and finish the surface to your desired texture. For walkways, we typically use a broom finish that provides traction even when wet. We also cut control joints at regular intervals to guide where any future cracks will occur so they're less noticeable.

Curing and Protection

Proper curing is what gives concrete its strength. We protect the fresh concrete from rapid drying and keep it moist for several days. Once cured, your new walkway is ready for daily use.

Design Options for Your Walkway

Your walkway doesn't have to be plain gray concrete. We offer several design options to enhance your property's curb appeal while still providing a durable, low-maintenance surface.

Stamped concrete can mimic the look of brick, stone, or slate pavers at a fraction of the cost. Colored concrete adds warmth and complements your home's exterior. Exposed aggregate reveals decorative stones in the concrete mix for a textured, natural look.

Borders and accent strips can break up long walkways visually and add character. We can also integrate curves, steps, and landings to create inviting pathways that flow naturally with your landscaping.
