Concrete Sidewalks & Walkways
Safe, durable pathways that connect your property and improve curb appeal.
Why Proper Sidewalks and Walkways Matter
Sidewalks and walkways might seem simple, but they serve an important purpose. They guide foot traffic, prevent people from walking through landscaping, and create safe paths around your property. When they're done right, they last for decades without cracking or settling.
Here in La Habra, we deal with soil movement, tree roots, and weather changes that can cause sidewalks to crack or become uneven. A tripping hazard in front of your home or business isn't just an eyesore; it's a liability. We build sidewalks and walkways that stay level and safe year after year.
At ChoiceHelp La Habra Concrete, we handle everything from residential walkways connecting your driveway to your front door, to public sidewalks that meet city requirements. We know the codes, we pull the permits, and we build it right the first time.
How We Build Sidewalks That Last
The difference between a sidewalk that lasts 5 years and one that lasts 30 years comes down to preparation and technique. We don't just pour concrete on dirt and hope for the best. Here's what goes into every sidewalk and walkway we build:
- •Excavation to proper depth based on soil conditions and expected traffic
- •Stable base material that's compacted in layers to prevent settling
- •Proper slope for water drainage so puddles don't form
- •Control joints every 4 to 5 feet to manage natural cracking
- •Smooth finish or broom texture for slip resistance
- •Proper curing time to reach full strength before use
If your project includes connecting a sidewalk to your concrete driveway or patio, we make sure the transitions are smooth and the finished look is cohesive.
Meeting Local Codes and ADA Requirements
Public sidewalks in La Habra need to meet specific width, slope, and accessibility requirements. If you're replacing a sidewalk in front of your property or building a commercial walkway, there are rules about height, width, and how it connects to the street.
We work with these codes every day, so we know exactly what's required. We handle the permits, schedule inspections, and make sure everything passes the first time. You don't need to figure out the technical details; that's what we're here for.
For commercial properties, we also ensure ADA compliance with proper slopes, detectable warning surfaces, and clear width requirements. Whether it's a residential walkway or a commercial sidewalk, we build it to code and built to last.
