A concrete sidewalk takes more foot traffic than any other slab on your property. Concrete Solutions pours sidewalks, front walks, side-yard walkways and garden paths across Modesto and the Central Valley. Steps and stoops are part of the same work. Every job is formed, poured and finished by our own crew.
Most of our sidewalk work is replacement. A root lifts one panel and leaves a lip you can catch a toe on. We take out the bad section, rebuild the base, then pour a new panel at the right grade. Owners often add a new front walk to a driveway replacement, or choose a stamped concrete finish for the walk.

A walkway gets used every day, so the layout matters as much as the pour. We set the forms along the line people actually walk. Front walks usually land around three to four feet wide. A side-yard path can be narrower, and a garden path can curve through a planter bed.
Slope is the other half of the job. Every walk we pour sheds water away from the house. One side-yard walkway we poured has a linear channel drain cast into it, with sawcut joints running to each side. That gives a narrow side yard somewhere to send water.
A broom finish is the standard for a walk. It holds grip when the surface is wet with morning fog. Color and a stamped pattern are both options on a new pour. A walk to the back gate often goes in with a new backyard patio on the same job.
Old sidewalk fails in a few common ways. A street tree root grows under a panel and pushes one corner up. A thin old pour cracks across the middle and the two halves settle apart. Water running down an open joint washes the base out from under the slab.
Replacement is the repair on a panel like that. We cut at the existing joints, break the section out and haul the concrete off. The base gets regraded and compacted, then we set rebar or mesh and pour. The new panel meets the old concrete flush at the joint.
The sidewalk in front of a house sits in the public right of way. Work in that strip needs an encroachment permit from the city, and we help you sort that out. In Modesto the Land Development and Engineering division issues those permits for sidewalk, curb, gutter and driveway work. A new curb cut at the driveway often goes in on the same job.
Steps show up on most walkway jobs. A front stoop needs a landing wide enough for the screen door to swing clear. A back door usually needs one or two steps down to the patio. A raised yard can take a short run of steps to the lawn.
We keep every rise the same height and every tread the same depth. Uneven steps are what people trip on. The steps are formed over compacted base with rebar tied through them. Treads get a broom finish across the walking direction for grip.
Winter fog leaves walks and steps damp well into the morning here. That grip matters more than the look on a wet winter day. Summer sits at the other end, with many days over 100 degrees. We start those pours early and keep the fresh concrete damp or covered while it cures.

Call or text (209) 606-9904 and tell us what you want poured. You can send photos of the area if you have them.
We come out to look at the job, measure it and check the slope and the existing surface. This is where questions about thickness, joints and finish get answered.
You get a written estimate. It lists the area, the thickness, the finish and what the price covers.
We form the job, grade and compact the base, set rebar or mesh, then pour and finish. Control joints get cut so the slab cracks where it should.
We clean up the site and tell you how to look after the new concrete. That covers when you can walk on it, when you can drive on it and when to reseal.
