Concrete sidewalks and walkways play a critical role around your home. They guide foot traffic, improve safety, and connect driveways, steps, patios, and entryways. At The Art of Concrete, we build residential concrete sidewalks and walkways that are durable, cleanly finished, and designed for long-term performance in Canadian weather.

Whether you’re replacing cracked concrete or adding new walkways to improve flow and accessibility, our focus is on safety, proper construction, and a finished look that fits your home.

​

Why Homeowners Choose Concrete Sidewalks

Concrete sidewalks are a popular choice because they offer:

• Long-lasting durability with minimal maintenance

• Improved safety and traction

• Clean, timeless appearance

• Compatibility with driveways, steps, and patios

• Strong performance through freeze–thaw cycles

When built correctly, concrete walkways provide decades of reliable use.

Our Sidewalk Construction Approach

Sidewalks may seem simple, but proper construction makes all the difference.

​

Proper Excavation & Base Preparation

• Removal of existing concrete where required

• Excavation to appropriate depth

• Compacted granular base for stability and drainage

​

Reinforced Concrete Placement

• Proper slab thickness for foot traffic

• Reinforcement where required

• Control joints placed to manage natural cracking

​

Finishing & Safety Details

• Broom finishes for traction

• Clean edges and consistent slopes

• Attention to drainage to prevent pooling or icing

​

Sealing & Protection

• Breathable concrete sealers

• Anti-slip options where needed

• Guidance on curing and long-term care

​

Sidewalk Finish Options

Sidewalks and walkways are typically finished for safety and durability, with subtle design options available.

​

Common Finishes

• Broom finish for traction

• Light decorative borders

• Exposed aggregate accents in select areas

Finish options are reviewed during consultation to ensure they match surrounding concrete and the style of your home.
