Sidewalks, Walkways & Flatwork

Q: How wide should a concrete walkway be?

Standard walkways are typically 3 to 4 feet wide. Main walkways to front entrances are often 4 to 5 feet. Narrower paths of 2 to 3 feet work for secondary garden paths.

Q: How thick should a sidewalk be?

Standard residential sidewalks are typically 4 inches thick. Areas that will support vehicle traffic, like driveway crossings, should be at least 6 inches thick with additional reinforcement.

Clean, level concrete paths that connect your spaces safely and look great doing it.

The Paths That Tie Your Property Together

Walkways are one of those things you do not think much about until they are cracked, uneven, or missing altogether. But they play a big role in how your property looks and functions. A well-built concrete walkway guides people safely from point A to point B, keeps foot traffic off your lawn, and adds a polished, finished look to your landscaping.

At Precision Martinez Concrete, we install sidewalks, walkways, and all types of flatwork for homeowners and businesses in Martinez, GA. Whether you need a straight path from your driveway to the front door, a curved garden walkway, or a large utility pad behind the house, we build it on a solid base so it stays flat and crack-free for years to come.

A good walkway also makes your property safer. Muddy paths, uneven stones, and gravel that washes away are all trip hazards. Concrete eliminates those problems and gives you a stable surface in all weather. Looking to pair your new walkway with an upgraded outdoor space? Our concrete patio installation services are a great next step.

Flatwork Services for Every Need

Flatwork is the broad term for any flat, horizontal concrete surface. It includes a lot more than just sidewalks. Here is a look at what we can build for you:

Front walkways that create a welcoming entrance to your home
Side yard paths connecting your front and back yard without tracking through mud
Garden walkways with curves and decorative finishes that complement your landscaping
Equipment and utility pads for HVAC units, generators, trash can areas, and storage sheds
Commercial sidewalks built to meet ADA accessibility requirements and local codes

Each project starts with proper grading, compacted base material, and correct slab thickness for the intended use. We also place control joints at the right spacing to prevent random cracking. For a custom touch, explore our stamped and decorative concrete finishes that can turn a basic walkway into a showpiece.

Built Right From the Ground Up

A walkway might seem simple, but there is real craftsmanship involved in building one that lasts. The ground needs to be excavated to the right depth, filled with compacted base material, and graded to allow proper water drainage. Without these steps, you end up with slabs that sink, crack, or collect standing water.

We also pay close attention to how your walkway connects to other surfaces. Where it meets a driveway, patio, or set of stairs, the transition needs to be smooth and level. No lips, no gaps, no trip hazards. We take the time to make sure everything lines up properly and looks like it belongs together.

Frequently Asked Questions

How wide should a concrete walkway be?+

Standard walkways are typically 3 to 4 feet wide, allowing comfortable passage for one person. Main walkways leading to front entrances are often 4 to 5 feet wide so two people can walk side by side. Narrower paths of 2 to 3 feet work well for secondary garden paths. We help you determine the right width based on your needs and property layout.

Can you match existing concrete for additions?+

We can closely match existing concrete through careful selection of materials and finishing techniques. New concrete may appear slightly different in color initially because existing concrete has been exposed to weathering. Over time, weather exposure helps new and old sections blend together more naturally.

How thick should a sidewalk be?+

Standard residential sidewalks are typically 4 inches thick, which is sufficient for foot traffic and light loads. Areas that will support vehicle traffic, like driveway crossings or aprons, should be at least 6 inches thick with additional reinforcement. We assess each project and recommend the appropriate thickness for your specific situation.
