Sidewalks & Steps

Sidewalks and steps that drain right and last

Five-foot wide, four inches thick, and poured on a base that handles the rain.

Sidewalks and exterior steps are small jobs that go wrong easily. A walkway that holds standing water becomes a moss patch in October. Steps that are out of code become a liability. We pour both to spec, with the right joints, the right slope, and a finish that handles foot traffic for decades.

City-spec public sidewalks

If you are replacing a public sidewalk in Roseburg, Sutherlin, or another incorporated city, the spec is set by the city: four-foot or five-foot width, four-inch thickness, six inches at driveway approaches, scored panels at standard intervals. We pull the permit when required and we know the inspector.

Exterior steps and porches

Exterior step risers and runs are code-driven. Rise between four and seven and three-quarter inches, run at least eleven inches, consistent within the flight. We build the forms to those numbers exactly and we pour with the right reinforcement for the porch landing.

Garden walkways and approaches

Walkways from a driveway to a front door, through a yard, around a deck. Three to four feet wide is typical, four-inch slab, broom or stamped finish, scored every five feet for crack control.

Common questions

Sidewalks & Steps FAQ.

Questions homeowners and builders ask us before they sign.

Do I need a permit to replace a sidewalk in front of my house?

In most incorporated cities, yes. Roseburg, Sutherlin, and others require a sidewalk permit and an inspection on city right-of-way work. We handle the permit when we do the work.

Can you match the finish of my existing sidewalk?

Mostly. We can match the panel size, the broom direction, and the joint pattern. Exact color match on aged concrete is impossible because the existing slab has weathered, but new concrete will weather to a similar tone over a year or two.
