Sidewalks, Walkways & Entries
A good walk gets you from the driveway to the door without puddles, heaves or weeds. We've poured sidewalks in Norwich and Sherburne, stamped entries with color borders, and a walk that replaced a customer's weedy paver path.
Broom finish, stamped or both
Broom finish is clean, simple and grips well in the wet. Stamped walks add texture and color, and a contrasting stamped border is a popular way to dress up a plain walk. We can also stamp just the front landing for curb appeal.
Out with the old
A lot of our walkway jobs start with tearing out what's there: cracked concrete, heaved slabs or pavers full of weeds. We break it out, haul it away, fix the base and pour new.
