Sidewalks, Walkways & Flatwork
Professional concrete walkways and flatwork that enhance curb appeal and safety.
Create Safe, Beautiful Pathways
The walkways around your property do more than just get you from point A to point B. They guide visitors to your door, connect different areas of your yard, and add visual appeal to your landscaping. A well-designed concrete walkway improves safety, increases property value, and gives your home a polished, finished look.
Concrete is the ideal material for walkways in our climate. It handles foot traffic without breaking down, stays level and stable in our soil conditions, and requires almost no maintenance. Unlike wood or pavers, concrete walkways do not rot, settle unevenly, or need regular repairs. You get a permanent path that looks good and performs reliably year after year.
We design and install custom concrete walkways throughout La Quinta. From simple front entry paths to elaborate garden walkways with curves and decorative finishes, we create solutions that match your property and meet your needs. Every walkway we build includes proper base preparation, adequate slope for drainage, and finishes that provide good traction in all weather. Let our experienced concrete team help you enhance your property with quality walkway installation.
Design Options for Your Walkway
Width and Layout
Walkway width matters for both function and appearance. A standard front walkway is typically four feet wide, which allows two people to walk side by side comfortably. Side yard paths can be narrower at three feet since they usually see single-file traffic. Garden paths might be even narrower, while main entries to commercial buildings need wider walkways to handle higher traffic volumes.
Layout depends on your property and how you use the space. Straight walkways work well for direct routes and formal landscapes. Curved paths create visual interest and soften the look of your yard. We can also create branching walkways that connect multiple areas, or stepping stone style paths that blend with landscaping. The layout should complement your home architecture and guide traffic naturally to where people need to go.
Surface Finishes and Borders
- Broom finish for slip resistance and traditional appearance
- Exposed aggregate for natural texture and visual interest
- Stamped patterns that mimic stone, brick, or pavers
- Smooth trowel finish for a clean, modern look
- Colored or stained concrete in custom shades
- Decorative borders and inlays to frame the walkway
- Scored or saw-cut patterns for geometric designs
We can match your walkway to your existing driveway or patio for a cohesive look, or create a contrasting design that stands out. Borders add definition and visual appeal. We install them using different colors, textures, or materials like brick or stone set in the concrete.
Flatwork for All Your Needs
Flatwork refers to any horizontal concrete surface. This includes sidewalks and walkways, but also encompasses many other applications around your property. We install concrete pads for trash enclosures, dog runs, and storage areas. We pour aprons at garage doors and RV gates. We create level surfaces for sheds, outdoor kitchens, and utility equipment.
Each application has specific requirements. Utility pads need to be perfectly level and sized correctly for equipment access. Dog runs need good drainage and smooth surfaces that are easy to clean. Trash enclosures require sloped surfaces that drain properly and resist staining. We understand these details and build each flatwork surface to perform its intended function.
For commercial properties, we install sidewalks that meet ADA requirements, including proper width, slope, and detectable warning surfaces at curb transitions. We handle high-traffic areas that need extra thickness and reinforcement. Our commercial flatwork includes parking lot approaches, loading dock areas, and pedestrian paths around buildings.
Residential flatwork often involves multiple pours to create a complete outdoor living environment. We might install a walkway from the driveway to the front door, a path from the patio to a side gate, and a utility pad for your air conditioner, all in one project. Coordinating these elements ensures consistent appearance and efficient project completion.
