Sidewalks, Walkways & Flatwork

Why Quality Walkways Matter

Your walkways are the first thing visitors see when they arrive at your home. A well-designed concrete path creates a welcoming entrance, guides foot traffic safely, and adds visual interest to your landscaping. More importantly, it prevents people from cutting across your lawn and protects your property from erosion and wear.

Here in Hobe Sound, we deal with heavy rain, intense sun, and occasional flooding. Your walkways need to handle these conditions without cracking, sinking, or becoming slippery. That's why proper installation matters so much. We start with a solid base, use the right concrete mix for Florida's climate, and finish with techniques that ensure long-lasting durability.

Whether you need a simple front walkway, a winding garden path, or a complete network of sidewalks around your property, we design and build concrete surfaces that work with your landscape. Our professional concrete installation creates pathways that last for decades with minimal maintenance.

Types of Concrete Flatwork We Install

Flatwork is any horizontal concrete surface that's poured on grade. This includes sidewalks, walkways, and other level surfaces around your property. Let's break down what we offer.

Our Flatwork Services:

• Front Walkways: Connect your driveway to your entrance with a clean, straight path or a more elaborate curved design that follows your landscape.
• Garden Paths: Wind through flower beds, around trees, and through landscaped areas with decorative concrete that complements your outdoor design.
• Side Yards: Provide easy access to backyard gates, utility areas, and outdoor storage with durable, practical walkways that handle heavy use.
• ADA-Compliant Sidewalks: Install accessible pathways that meet code requirements for slope, width, and surface texture to ensure safe access for everyone.
• Courtyard Floors: Create beautiful outdoor living areas with smooth, level concrete surfaces that work as foundations for furniture and entertaining spaces.

We customize each project to match your home's style and your functional needs. If you want something more decorative, consider pairing your walkway with stamped or colored concrete finishes that mimic brick, stone, or tile patterns.

Planning Your Walkway Layout

A well-planned walkway does more than connect point A to point B. It considers how people naturally move through your property, where water drains during storms, and how the path integrates with existing landscaping. We spend time during the planning phase to get all these details right.

Width matters more than you might think. A standard front walkway should be at least four feet wide so two people can walk side by side comfortably. Narrower paths work fine for side yards or garden areas where traffic is lighter. We also consider slopes and grades to ensure proper drainage and prevent water from pooling on the surface.

Curves and angles add visual interest, but they also need to make practical sense. Gentle curves look natural and guide foot traffic smoothly. Sharp angles or unnecessary zigzags just create awkward walking patterns. We design walkways that flow naturally and look intentional, not forced.

If you're also planning other concrete work like a new patio or driveway extension, we coordinate everything to create a cohesive look. Matching finishes, consistent borders, and thoughtful transitions make your outdoor spaces feel unified and professionally designed.
