Concrete Sidewalks
ADA-compliant sidewalks, walkways, and pedestrian infrastructure for homes and businesses across the Birmingham metro.
From residential front walks to commercial pedestrian routes and public right-of-way sidewalks, we build concrete sidewalks throughout Birmingham and Jefferson County. Downtown Birmingham's expanding pedestrian infrastructure around Railroad Park and the Rotary Trail, growing walkability projects in Homewood and Vestavia Hills, and everyday front-walk replacements in older neighborhoods all call for the same fundamentals: correct slope, ADA-compliant detailing where required, and a slab that won't heave or crack under Jefferson County's clay soil movement.
We build new sidewalks, replace cracked and settled sections, and pour ADA-compliant curb ramps with detectable warning surfaces for commercial and municipal-adjacent projects. Every walkway is graded for proper drainage and jointed to control cracking, so it stays safe and level for years, not seasons.
Sidewalk work is unforgiving on slope — too flat and water ponds and ices over in winter; out of ADA tolerance and a commercial project fails inspection. We set cross-slope and running slope carefully on every job, and we detail curb ramps with the correct detectable-warning surface so the finished walkway is both safe and code-compliant from day one.
We install concrete sidewalks across Birmingham and the surrounding Jefferson County communities we serve — from Mountain Brook to Vestavia Hills. See every service area we cover, or request a free estimate to get started.

Our Process
Site Visit & Route Planning
We evaluate the walkway route, existing grade, and any ADA slope or clearance requirements that apply to the project.
Demo & Base Preparation
Existing damaged sections are removed if needed, and the base is graded and compacted for a stable, well-drained walkway.
Forming & Reinforcement
Forms are set to line and grade, with reinforcement added at panel joints, driveway crossings, and any structural transitions.
Pour & Broom Finish
Concrete is placed, screeded to slope, and finished with a broom texture for slip resistance in wet weather.
Joint Sawing & Cure
Control joints are cut on schedule and the walkway cures under controlled conditions before opening to foot traffic.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you build sidewalks in the public right-of-way?
Yes — we build and replace sidewalk sections along the public right-of-way and coordinate with the applicable Birmingham-area municipality's requirements and permitting where needed.
Can you match my new sidewalk to the existing scoring pattern?
In most cases, yes. We match panel size, joint spacing, and broom texture to blend a new or repaired section with the surrounding original sidewalk.
What makes a sidewalk ADA-compliant?
ADA compliance covers running slope, cross slope, width, surface texture, and — at curb transitions — detectable warning surfaces and properly sloped ramps. We build to these specifications on any commercial or public-facing walkway project.
Why do sidewalk sections heave or crack in Birmingham?
The most common cause is Jefferson County's expansive clay soil moving with seasonal moisture changes beneath an undersized or unreinforced panel. We build sidewalks with proper base prep and jointing specifically to resist that movement.
