Concrete Sidewalks and Walkways in Monroe, GA

Sidewalks and Walkways · Monroe, GA

Walks from the driveway to the front door

A concrete sidewalk gets used every day, so a lifted block or a wide crack gets noticed fast. Georgia Premier Contracting Group pours concrete sidewalks and walkways for homes in Monroe and the towns around it. That means front walks from the driveway to the door and side paths to a back gate.

Plenty of sidewalk work is replacement. A root or a washed-out base lifts one block and leaves a lip that catches a toe. We break out the bad sections and haul the old concrete away, then pour new ones to meet the rest. If the driveway is due too, the walk can go in alongside a new concrete driveway.

What We Handle

  • New concrete front walks from the driveway to the door
  • Side paths to a back gate or a patio
  • Replacement of heaved or cracked walk sections
  • Old walks broken out and hauled away
  • Joints that give shrinkage cracks a planned place to form
  • Broom finish for grip, with stamped or colored finishes as options
  • Walks that pitch rain away from the house
  • Clean tie-ins where a walk meets the driveway or a porch slab

Why Do Concrete Sidewalks Heave and Crack?

Tree roots are a common cause of a heaved walk. A root grows under a block and pushes one edge up. The block beside it stays put, and the raised edge is easy to trip on.

Water does its share of damage too. A downspout that empties onto a walk can wash the base out from under it. The block then sinks or tips, and a crack opens across it.

Inside Monroe city limits, roots from a street tree add a step. The city code protects trees on the public land along a street. No one but the city may damage or remove one without written approval from the Monroe Tree Board. If a street tree lifted your walk, call the city before anyone cuts a root.

Sidewalk Replacement, One Section or the Whole Walk

Joints split a walk into sections, so a failed section can come out on its own. When most of the walk has lifted or cracked, replacing the whole run often makes more sense. Either way, the old concrete gets broken out and hauled off before new forms go in.

The Georgia Department of Transportation's sidewalk detail is a good yardstick for a home walk. It puts joints about every 5 feet, so each block comes out close to square. Where a walk meets the house or a driveway, the detail adds an expansion joint.

Rain should run off a walk and away from the house. Georgia's residential code calls for surface water to drain away from a home's foundation. So a walk beside the house should pitch slightly toward the yard.

Concrete Walkways for Homes in Monroe and Walton County

Census estimates date more than a third of Monroe's housing to before 1970. In nearby Loganville, nearly two thirds of the housing dates to 2000 or later. An older home may need a heaved walk replaced, and a newer one may need a side path added.

A front walk works best when it follows the line people already take. A walk that fights that line ends up with a worn shortcut in the grass beside it. Walkways are one part of our work as a concrete contractor in Monroe.

A broom finish is the standard for a walk, since it gives shoes grip in the rain. The same walk can take a stamped or colored finish instead. Walks and curbs for a business or an HOA fall under our commercial concrete work.

FAQ

Sidewalks and Walkways Questions, Answered

Common questions about sidewalks and walkways around Monroe and the rest of our service area. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.

Call (770) 743-6706

How thick should a concrete sidewalk be?
Four inches is the usual thickness for a walk that carries foot traffic. Georgia DOT's sidewalk detail calls for 4 inches. Walton County's development code also sets new public sidewalks at 4 inches thick. Where cars cross a walk, the quote spells out how that stretch gets built.
Why are there lines cut across a concrete walkway?
Those lines are joints. Concrete shrinks a little as it dries, and the joints give it a planned place to crack. A crack that forms in a joint stays in the groove, where it is hard to see.
Can you replace one heaved section instead of the whole walk?
Often, yes. The section comes out at the joints on each side. The new one is poured to meet the blocks beside it. If a root lifted it, the root question comes first, and an arborist can answer it.
Can I replace the sidewalk along the street in Monroe?
That strip is part of the public street under Monroe's city code, from the curb line to the property line. Cutting into a paved city sidewalk takes a permit from the city council. The application goes through the city's code enforcement officer, so start with the City of Monroe.
What does a new concrete walkway cost?
The size of the walk sets most of the price. Breaking out and hauling off an old walk adds to it. Curves and a stamped finish add time at the pour. Call or text (770) 743-6706, and we put a free quote in writing after we look at the job.
Do I need to call 811 before a new walk goes in?
Georgia law calls for a locate request before anyone digs with powered equipment. The duty sits with the person planning the dig. Georgia 811 asks for the request at least 3 business days ahead, by dialing 811 or online. Utility owners then mark their buried lines.
