Safe Walking Surfaces That Stay Level Over Time

Ironground Construction LLC installs and replaces concrete sidewalks and walkways for homes and businesses in Azle, Texas.

You need a walkway that provides safe, even access from the street to your front door, between buildings, or across a commercial property without creating trip hazards or drainage problems. In Azle, sidewalks take daily foot traffic, weathering, and occasional vehicle crossings, and they need to stay level without cracking or settling into low spots. Ironground Construction LLC builds walkways with proper grading, reinforcement, and joint placement so the surface remains stable and functional for years.

We install new sidewalks and replace damaged sections for residential neighborhoods and commercial properties across Azle. Each project includes site preparation, base compaction, and forming to match the required width and slope. We use control joints to manage cracking and apply finishes that provide traction without rough edges that wear down over time.

Steps We Follow to Build Walkways Correctly

Your walkway starts with excavation to remove grass, roots, and unstable soil, followed by grading to create a slight slope that sheds water away from structures. In Azle, we bring in compacted gravel or crushed stone for the base, set forms to define edges and elevation, and place wire mesh or rebar if the walkway will see heavier use or vehicle crossings.

After the concrete is poured and finished, you will have a smooth, even surface with clean edges and joints placed to control where cracks form as the concrete expands and contracts. Quality installation helps prevent cracking, drainage problems, and uneven surfaces. Sidewalks that settle or crack usually trace back to inadequate base preparation or missing control joints during the pour.

We install walkways that meet ADA slope requirements for commercial properties and can coordinate with landscaping or paving contractors if your project includes surrounding work. Finish options include broom texture for traction or smooth trowel for easier cleaning. We do not apply decorative stamps or colored overlays, but we can match existing walkway finishes on replacement sections.

Clearing Up Details Before the Work Begins

Homeowners and property managers in Azle often ask about width requirements, joint spacing, and how long before they can use the new walkway. These answers cover the practical concerns that come up during planning.

What width should a residential sidewalk be?
Most residential walkways are four feet wide, which allows two people to walk side by side comfortably. We adjust width based on your property layout and how the walkway connects to driveways or entrances.
How do control joints prevent cracking?
Control joints create planned weak points where the concrete can crack in a straight line instead of randomly across the surface. We space them based on slab thickness and place them at natural transition points in Azle walkways.
When can I walk on the new concrete?
You can walk on it after 24 to 48 hours, but full strength takes about 28 days. We mark off the area and provide a timeline based on weather and the specific mix used.
Why does the walkway need a slope?
A slight slope keeps water from pooling on the surface and directs it toward grass, landscaping, or drainage areas. Without proper grading, water sits on the concrete and accelerates wear and freeze-thaw damage.
What happens if tree roots grow under the sidewalk?
Roots can lift and crack concrete over time. We identify root zones during site prep and may adjust the walkway path, install root barriers, or recommend trimming before pouring to reduce future problems.
