Learn MoreFrequently Asked Questions
Residential sidewalks are typically 4 feet wide, though local requirements may vary. Commercial sidewalks often need to be 5-6 feet wide to accommodate higher traffic volumes. We ensure all sidewalks meet local Plano requirements.
Sidewalks should have a minimum slope of 1% (1/8 inch per foot) for drainage, but not more than 5% for accessibility. Cross-slope should not exceed 2%. We ensure proper grading for both drainage and ADA compliance.
Permit requirements depend on location and scope. Sidewalks connecting to public right-of-way typically require permits. We handle all permitting requirements as part of our service.
Control joints should be spaced no more than 2-3 times the slab thickness in feet. For a 4-inch sidewalk, joints should be placed every 8-12 feet. We also place joints at changes in direction or dimensions.
Yes, we offer concrete repair services for sidewalks with minor damage. However, if there are extensive cracks, settling issues, or drainage problems, replacement may be more cost-effective in the long run.
