Sidewalks That Stay Level and Safe to Walk On

Sandrock Construction LLC installs and repairs concrete sidewalks in Ferriday, Louisiana.

Your sidewalk needs to remain level, free of trip hazards, and able to handle foot traffic without cracking or breaking apart. In Ferriday, tree roots, soil movement, and poor installation cause sidewalks to heave, settle, and develop uneven surfaces that create safety problems. A properly installed sidewalk includes correct thickness, reinforcement, and a smooth finish that meets code requirements and performs reliably for years.

Sandrock Construction LLC installs and repairs concrete sidewalks in Ferriday for residential properties, commercial sites, and public access areas. We prepare the base, set forms to control thickness and alignment, and pour concrete with reinforcement that prevents cracking. The surface is finished smooth and cured properly to resist wear from foot traffic and weather exposure.

If you need a new sidewalk or repairs to damaged sections in Ferriday, we can provide an estimate based on the scope of work and site conditions.

How sidewalks are installed and what repairs address

We start by grading the base to ensure proper drainage and compacting the soil to prevent settling. Forms are set to define the sidewalk width and thickness, and we place wire mesh or rebar to control cracking. The concrete is poured, leveled, and finished with a smooth texture that resists wear. In Ferriday, where tree roots and soil conditions affect stability, we address those factors before pouring to prevent future heaving or settling.

After installation, your sidewalk will be level, smooth, and free of trip hazards. The surface will shed water properly, and the edges will remain intact under normal use.

For repairs, we remove damaged sections, address the cause of the failure, and replace the concrete to match the surrounding surface. We do not patch over failing sections, and we do not ignore underlying problems such as root intrusion or poor drainage. If your sidewalk has settled or cracked, we identify the cause and fix it before pouring new concrete.

Answers to questions about sidewalk work

Property owners in Ferriday often ask about thickness, curing time, and whether repairs will match the existing sidewalk. These are practical concerns, and we address them based on code requirements and how sidewalks perform after installation.

How thick does a concrete sidewalk need to be in Ferriday? A residential sidewalk is typically four inches thick with wire mesh reinforcement. Commercial sidewalks or those with higher traffic may require greater thickness to meet code and performance standards.
How long does it take for a new sidewalk to cure before people can walk on it? You can walk on the sidewalk after 24 to 48 hours, but it takes about seven days before the concrete reaches full strength. We mark off the area to prevent premature use.
What causes a sidewalk to become uneven or develop trip hazards? Uneven sidewalks usually result from settling, tree root growth, or soil erosion underneath the slab. We address these issues during installation or repair by removing the cause and stabilizing the base before pouring new concrete.
How do you repair a cracked or damaged section of sidewalk? We remove the damaged section, prepare the base, and pour new concrete to match the surrounding surface. The repair is reinforced and finished to blend with the existing sidewalk.
Will the new sidewalk meet local building codes and ADA requirements? All of our sidewalk installations meet local codes for thickness, slope, and accessibility. We coordinate inspections if required and ensure compliance with ADA standards for commercial and public access areas in Ferriday.
