• •Multi-Level Patios: Terraced designs that work with your property's natural slope
• •Patio Extensions: Expanding existing patios to accommodate growing families or new outdoor furniture

Professional Walkway and Sidewalk Installation

Walkways and sidewalks serve both practical and aesthetic purposes, guiding foot traffic while enhancing your property's visual appeal. We create pathways that are safe, accessible, and beautifully integrated with your landscape design.

Our walkways feature proper width for comfortable passage, gentle slopes for drainage and accessibility, and non-slip surfaces for safety in all weather conditions. We can design straight, curved, or meandering paths that complement your property's layout and landscaping. For decorative options that make your walkways stand out, explore our stamped and decorative concrete services.

Design Considerations for Outdoor Concrete Surfaces

Creating functional and attractive outdoor concrete surfaces requires careful planning. We consider your property's drainage patterns, sun exposure, existing landscaping, and how you intend to use the space. Proper site preparation, including excavation and base material installation, ensures your patio or walkway remains level and crack-free for years.

We also factor in Iowa's freeze-thaw cycles, ensuring adequate thickness and reinforcement to prevent damage from seasonal temperature changes. Control joints are strategically placed to manage natural concrete movement, and we grade surfaces to direct water away from your home's foundation. Our attention to these details results in outdoor surfaces that maintain their beauty and functionality through decades of use.

Low-Maintenance Outdoor Living Solutions

One of concrete's greatest advantages for outdoor applications is its minimal maintenance requirements. Unlike wood decks that need regular staining or pavers that require periodic releveling, concrete patios and walkways need only occasional cleaning and sealing to maintain their appearance and performance.

We recommend sealing your concrete surfaces every 2-3 years to protect against moisture penetration, staining, and surface wear. Regular sweeping and occasional pressure washing keep your outdoor spaces looking fresh. If minor damage does occur over time, our repair and resurfacing services can restore your concrete surfaces to like-new condition without the expense of complete replacement.
