Sidewalk & Walkway Contractors in Dallas
ADA-compliant sidewalks, front walkways, garden paths, and pedestrian ramps. New pours and full replacements across Dallas-Fort Worth.
Residential Sidewalks and Walkways
A front walkway is the first thing people see when they visit your home. We pour walkways that are straight, level, and properly graded for drainage. Standard residential walkways are 3 to 4 feet wide and 4 inches thick with a broom finish for traction.
Garden paths and stepping stone layouts add function to your backyard. We pour paths at 2 to 3 feet wide — enough for single-file walking without feeling cramped. Curves and radius layouts work well for garden paths and backyard connections.
We also pour side-yard walkways, utility pad approaches, and connections between patios, driveways, and detached structures. Every walkway gets proper subgrade compaction and control joints to prevent random cracking.
City of Dallas Sidewalk Requirements
The City of Dallas requires property owners to maintain public sidewalks adjacent to their property. If a city inspector flags your sidewalk as a trip hazard or safety concern, you're responsible for the repair or replacement.
Public sidewalks in Dallas must be at least 4 feet wide and 4 inches thick. They need to meet the grade of adjacent sidewalk sections and comply with ADA slope requirements. We pour replacement sidewalks that meet these specs and pass city inspection.
If the city has notified you about a sidewalk violation, call us. We handle the tear-out, haul-off, and repour. We can also work with the city's sidewalk repair program if you qualify for assistance.
ADA Compliance
Commercial sidewalks, ramps, and walkways must meet ADA accessibility standards. That means maximum 5% running slope, maximum 2% cross slope, minimum 36-inch clear width (48 inches preferred), and detectable warning surfaces at curb ramps.
We pour ADA-compliant walkways for businesses, apartment complexes, churches, schools, and medical facilities across Dallas. Our crews know the requirements and build to spec every time. We also install truncated dome mats at curb transitions.
Getting ADA compliance wrong can result in lawsuits and fines. We measure slopes with a digital level during the pour and verify everything meets code before we leave the site.
