Concrete sidewalks and walkways

“Our 35 year old sidewalk was sunk into the ground and had buckling slabs that were becoming a serious concern for safety. We chose Rupp Construction and Concrete as the contractor for management of tearing out the old sidewalk and pouring a new one. Their plan and pricing were reasonable. They made the arrangements for the demolition and hauling off of the old rickety slabs of concrete, and for the preparation and the pouring of the new concrete. The plan was to use rebar since the ground in that part of the yard seemed to shift or sink over the years, because of the soil type and all the wetness in winter. A fine grained gravel bed was laid, in place of the existing unstable dirt bed. I wanted an aggregate sidewalk that would be one foot wider, with a wide type rounding of the corners, and I wanted a slightly larger mini-patio by the front door. I wanted the walk to be moved out by at least six inches. The price for all of this was within expectations. Different crews came to do their particular jobs, and finally, Cameron and his crew came. Forms were set. The next day, he and his crew worked all day at the pouring of concrete and the refining of the texture of this beautiful piece of concrete. It was all a lot of hard work that lasted a duration of about three days. Needless to say, we are lovin' the new, posh, sturdy, 45' walkway and are thankful that it's safe!”
