We handle residential and commercial projects throughout the Everett area with the same attention to detail and quality workmanship.
Types of Concrete Flatwork We Install
Flatwork refers to any horizontal concrete surface. We install all types of concrete flatwork for homes, businesses, and municipalities:
- •Front walkways: Paths from the driveway or street to your front door that enhance curb appeal and guide visitors.
- •Backyard paths: Garden walkways, paths to sheds or pools, and connectors between outdoor spaces.
- •Public sidewalks: Municipal sidewalks and commercial property walkways that meet ADA accessibility standards.
- •Stairs and steps: Concrete steps for entryways, decks, and multi-level landscapes.
- •Landings and pads: Equipment pads for HVAC units, generator pads, and utility access areas.
- •Commercial flatwork: Loading areas, walkways, access ramps, and other business property concrete.
No project is too big or too small. We handle everything from simple 20-foot walkways to large commercial flatwork installations.
Why Choose Concrete for Walkways and Sidewalks?
You have several options for walkways including pavers, gravel, asphalt, and natural stone. Concrete offers the best combination of durability, affordability, and low maintenance. Here is why homeowners throughout Everett choose concrete walkways:
Long Lasting Durability
Properly installed concrete walkways can last 30 years or more with minimal maintenance. They stand up to freeze-thaw cycles, heavy foot traffic, snow removal, and harsh New England weather better than most alternatives.
Low Maintenance
Unlike pavers that shift and require releveling, or gravel that needs constant topping up, concrete stays put. Just sweep it clean occasionally and reseal every few years. No weeding, no resetting, no ongoing hassles.
Smooth, Safe Surface
Concrete provides a smooth, even surface that is easy to walk on and wheelchair accessible. We can add texture for traction to prevent slipping in wet weather. This makes concrete ideal for public sidewalks and commercial properties that need to meet ADA requirements.
Design Flexibility
Concrete is not boring. You can add curves, borders, stamped patterns, colors, and decorative finishes to create walkways that match your landscape design. We work with you to create custom looks that enhance your property. Check out ourstamped and decorative concrete optionsfor ideas.
Our Installation Process
Quality walkways start with proper preparation. We follow a proven process to ensure your concrete flatwork looks great and lasts for decades:
Design and Planning
We discuss your needs, measure the area, and help you plan the layout. For public sidewalks and commercial projects, we pull required permits and ensure compliance with local codes and ADA standards.
Site Preparation
We excavate to the proper depth, remove grass and debris, and grade for drainage. Good drainage is critical to prevent water pooling and ice formation in winter. We compact the soil and install a gravel base for stability.
Forms and Reinforcement
We set up forms to shape the walkway, ensure proper slope for drainage, and add wire mesh or rebar reinforcement to prevent cracking. Control joints are planned at this stage to manage any future cracking.
Concrete Placement and Finishing
We pour high-quality concrete and work quickly to level, smooth, and finish it. We add texture for traction and create clean, professional edges. If you chose decorative finishes, we apply those while the concrete is workable.
Curing and Protection
The concrete needs several days to cure properly. We protect the surface during this time and apply sealer if requested. After about 24 hours, you can walk on your new walkway. Heavy use should wait about a week.
