What does a new walkway cost?
Walkways in North Texas typically start around $8-13 per square foot depending on length, access, tear-out, and how much root work is involved. Every quote follows a site visit; we do not give phone numbers we cannot stand behind once we see the roots.
A tree root lifted my sidewalk. Can you fix it without killing the tree?
That is the assumption we start from. We expose the root properly, cut only what the tree can afford to lose, and where a major root cannot be cut we bridge, thicken, or reroute the walk. It costs a little more than blind-cutting, and it is the only version we offer.
The city sidewalk in front of my house is broken. Whose job is it?
Responsibility for public sidewalk in Richardson depends on the city's current program, and programs change, so check with the city first. When the repair does fall to you, we pour to the city's specification so the work passes inspection the first time.
Can you just grind down the raised edge?
Grinding is a legitimate trip-hazard stopgap, and we will say so when it fits. But when a root is actively lifting the panel, grinding buys a season or two. We would rather tell you which situation you have than sell the bigger job by default.
Do you build ADA ramps?
Yes, to current standards: slopes, landings, and detectable warning surfaces. Most of that work is commercial, but we also build residential accessibility ramps where a front entry needs one.
How disruptive is replacement?
A typical residential walk is out and repoured within a day or two, with a marked path around the work. Panels take foot traffic after about 48 hours, and we never leave open excavations overnight without barricades.
