our process
Site Assessment: Someone from our team will visit your property to assess the project requirements. We will work with you to understand your preferences and goals for the walkway. This will help us to make the best plan and method to build your new walkway.
Design and Planning: Based on the client's input and site assessment, the concrete company's design team creates a custom design for the walkway. This includes determining the layout, shape, dimensions, and any unique architectural elements or decorative features to be incorporated.
Site Preparation: The designated area for the walkway is prepared for construction. This involves clearing vegetation, leveling the ground, and ensuring proper drainage to prevent water pooling.
Formwork and Reinforcement: The concrete company installs formwork along the edges of the walkway to establish the desired shape and dimensions. They may also incorporate steel reinforcement, such as rebar or wire mesh, to enhance strength and durability.
Concrete Placement: The concrete is mixed according to the specified design requirements and poured into the prepared area. The concrete company utilizes techniques such as screeding, troweling, and floating to ensure a smooth and level surface.
Customization and Finishing: Depending on the design, the concrete company may incorporate custom architectural features or decorative elements during the pouring process. This can include stamped patterns, textures, inlays, or special finishes that enhance the walkway's aesthetic appeal.
Curing and Protection: Once the concrete is placed, the walkway undergoes a curing process to allow it to gain strength and durability. The concrete company may apply curing compounds or protective coverings to retain moisture and promote proper curing.
Clean-up and Site Restoration: After the walkway is fully cured, the concrete company cleans up the site, removing any debris or construction materials. They restore the surrounding landscape, ensuring the walkway seamlessly integrates into its environment.
Project completion: We want to make sure that you are 100% satisfied in our work. Before we leave a job site we will make sure that all of your questions are answered and you are completely comfortable with the work that was performed.
