Step Up Your Home’s Appeal with a New Concrete Sidewalk
A new concrete sidewalk from Shepherd Concrete isn't just a path—it's an upgrade to your property's functionality and aesthetics. Homeowners choose to replace their old, cracked, or flaking sidewalks not only to boost their home’s curb appeal but also to increase its value. A smooth, well-constructed sidewalk reduces trip hazards and keeps dirt and mud outside where they belong. Whether you’re looking to replace a worn-out walkway or create a beautiful path that complements your home, a new sidewalk offers a clean, safe, and attractive solution that enhances the quality of your everyday life.

Factors to consider when having a new concrete sidewalk poured:
Proper Drainage: Ensure that the sidewalk has a minimum 2% grade away from your home. This slight slope prevents water from pooling near the foundation, reducing the risk of water damage and ice formation during colder months.
Soil and Substrate: The longevity of your sidewalk depends on the ground it rests upon. Avoid soil with high organic content which can shift and decompose. Instead, use a sturdy substrate that is properly compacted to provide a stable base for the concrete.
Careful Demolition: If the project involves replacing an old sidewalk, it’s crucial to carefully remove the existing material without damaging your home’s foundation or surrounding landscape.
Managing Expectations: While we strive to minimize disruption, some impact to the surrounding area, like lawn damage, is inevitable during construction. We prioritize efficient techniques to limit this impact and maintain clear communication with you throughout the process.
Post-Construction Cleanup: After the sidewalk is poured, we ensure a thorough cleanup of the construction site, leaving your property neat and tidy.
Custom Designs: For those considering a more personalized touch, Shepherd Concrete offers custom design options like curved sidewalks. We’re happy to discuss and integrate unique design elements that reflect your personal style.
FAQs:
Every project is different, but before you break ground, there some questions you can ask to set the right expectations for yourself and ensure your project goes smoothly:
-
The cost of any project will vary based on the details of the job, but we can set some baseline expectations.
In any project, the main driver of cost is the square footage of the job, both from a labor and materials perspective. Smaller pours will fall in the $3K-$5K range, with mid-sized pours ranging from $5K-$10K or more for larger pours.
Variables that effect these costs include:
- The accessibility of the space
- The amount of tear out and removal work required
- The desired shape of the slab and number of joints
- Special finishes, stamping, coatings, etc.
-
One driver of cost on a project can be the difficulty of reaching the space in question. If a truck can pull right up and pour from the shoot the job will go easier than if we have to wheelbarrow the concrete to the back of the property by hand.
