Sidewalks aren’t typically something you first notice when you look at a property — this is, of course, unless it’s cracked and broken. This is because that was as much utility as a sidewalk has, we just always expect it to work and do its job without causing injuries or looking too unsightly.
Sidewalks and pathways are generally used as a way to get people from a street or driveway to or around a building safely. As a rule, sidewalks are generally drab and uninspired, but what a waste! Much like driveways, sidewalks cover large areas and are a wonderful opportunity to add color and texture to any kind of space. If you are considering adding or replacing sidewalks on your property, taking the time to think about the overall purpose of the pathway can result in a product that fits that need perfectly.
Function vs Aesthetics
Concrete is one of the most versatile building materials of all time, which is why it’s been used since ancient times. Since then, we’ve come a long way in texture and design. From a basic, smooth finish to stamped cobblestone, your options are limitless.
Since you have such a wide array of choices, you may find yourself needing guidance from seasoned professionals to make sure you’re making the right call. For example, do you need the concrete to match a certain or building or landscape design? Do you have people available to do a bit of routine maintenance or are you looking for something as hands-off as possible? And the people using the sidewalk — will this just be used a couple of times per day by someone living alone or will it be walked on all day outside of a mall or factory?
These are factors that need to be considered since you have literally hundreds of different options available to you. Over the years, we’ve worked with thousands of homeowners, contractors and property managers with similar needs and have turned them into happy repeat customers along the way. Whether it comes down to color, texture, thickness or finish in a spectrum of budgets, you’ll find that settling is the least of your worries.
In understanding your exact preferences and needs, we can help you design a sidewalk that won’t only do its job by giving you a safe walkway, but will be sure to leave an impression on anyone that needs to take a walk on it. After all, when someone puts so much effort into a portion of the property that is often overlooked, it tells others that you care and can even raise the value of your property.
