"The drop down menu options for my project are limited and do not adequately explain the large scope of our residential project. We had several height feet of the downhill side of our foundation redone, with the house needing to be leveled. It had sunk 2 inches. He fixed the driveway near the foundation that had to be replaced. Our basement floor had been poorly laid and was flooding so Ed removed it: his team dug down into the dirt, laid the right kinds of base layers and membrane before pouring new concrete that also had a drain path. He installed a sump and drainage system. Our basement has been bone dry this winter. Ed and his crew are honest, tidy, did what they said they would do, were safe, and respected the neighbors’ property. Ed spent time evaluating our problems, consulting in a way that asked us to think about project more cost effectively, and have a bid that he adhered to, scheduled/managed the inspectors, and completed the work in a timely fashion.

Most sidewalks rely on a ready‑mix blend of Portland cement, sand, gravel, and water that trucks deliver to your site and pour in one continuous lift. For added strength, many contractors fold in fiber mesh or steel reinforcement. This mix cures into a rock‑solid slab that stands up to foot traffic, freeze‑thaw cycles, and daily wear for decades. Expect a pro to recommend a 4‑inch‑thick pour for standard walkways.
With the right mix, proper drainage, and routine upkeep, a concrete sidewalk can last 25 to 50 years. Freeze‑thaw cycles, road salt, and heavy loads all shorten that timeline, but sealing every few years and patching small cracks early keeps damage in check. Think of sealing as inexpensive insurance for decades of safe, stable footing. In milder climates, some slabs push well past the 30‑year mark without major repairs.
Concrete sidewalks crack as a result of significant temperature fluctuations and heavy load pressures. The freeze-thaw cycles and sustained weight from vehicles or intense foot traffic force the concrete to develop cracks over time. Applying a premium sealant every two to three years and substituting salt with sand for de-icing minimizes crack formation. Regular maintenance and timely repairs safeguard the sidewalk’s structural integrity and extend its service life.
