The kinds of concrete sidewalk we build

  • Front walks and side paths

    A walk from the driveway or street to your front door, or along the side of the house to the backyard gate, sized to how you use it.

  • Sidewalks along the street

    A new stretch of sidewalk where your lot meets the street, built to meet the neighbors' walk on either side so the path stays smooth.

What goes into building a new concrete sidewalk in Anaheim?

Concrete sidewalk building in Anaheim means forming, pouring and finishing a new walk on ground that's been watered and packed firm, so the walk sits flat and gives you a steady path to the door.

Most calls start with an old walk that's cracked, lifted at the joints or sinking near the lawn, or one that sends water toward the house. The price mostly follows the size of the walk, how much old concrete has to come out, how far we wheel material from the street and any curves or steps along the way, while the schedule turns on what the ground looks like once it's open, since soft spots have to be dug out or left to dry. When the walk runs along the street, we handle the city permit and the inspections as part of the job. After I measure, the estimate gives you the figure for your own walk.

What a new sidewalk job covers, start to finish

I price a walk from the ground up, starting with where the water runs. If the budget is tight, I'd trim the finish before the base, because the base is what you live with.

  • Packing the ground

    We wet and pack the subgrade, the soil the walk sits on, and fix soft spots so the walk doesn't sink with loose dirt.

  • Forms and slope

    We set forms that tip water away from the house, and match the walk to new garage floor concrete if you're redoing the garage.

  • Pouring, joints and finish

    We pour, cut control joints so cracks follow lines we chose, and broom the top for grip or give it a decorative concrete finish.

  • Covering while it cures

    We keep the new walk covered or damp while it cures, the slow hardening that gives concrete its strength, then clean up around it.

Why Anaheim homeowners call Advanced Anaheim Concrete Company

I learned concrete pouring foundations, driveways and walks on new construction, and in 2017 I started this business to work on homes people already live in. Your lawn, your walls and your neighbors get the same care as the new concrete.

Questions about new sidewalks

Do I need a permit to build a sidewalk along the street in Anaheim?

Yes, a sidewalk in a public street, alley or easement needs a Right-of-Way Construction Permit from the city's Public Works Department, along with an approved plan. Please mention it when you call if your new walk runs along the street, so we can plan for it from the start.

Who is allowed to build a sidewalk next to the street in Anaheim?

The city requires work in the public right-of-way to be done by a licensed contractor qualified for it, which means a state A, General Engineering, license or a license for that type of work. The state licensing board also requires a license for building work where labor and materials total $1,000 or more, and for smaller jobs that fall under a permit or use hired workers. It's fair to ask any contractor whether they hold a City of Anaheim business license too, since the permit isn't issued without one.

How long does a new concrete sidewalk take to cure?

Curing, the stretch where fresh concrete is kept from drying out, runs at least 3 days under wet burlap and plastic, a curing compound or water. So the job runs past pour day, and the covering or watering stays in place that long. Before work starts, we'll go over which way in to use while it cures.

What is the best time of day to pour a sidewalk in hot weather?

The best time is a part of the day or night when the weather is favorable, because hot-weather guidance warns that fresh concrete can dry on top and crack when surface water evaporates faster than water rises from inside. That guidance is national rather than written for Anaheim, but it's worth planning the pour day and hour around the forecast, and we'll talk that through with you.

How much does a concrete sidewalk cost in Anaheim?

Installing a concrete sidewalk across the US usually costs about $12.50 to $15 per square foot, and that's a national figure for the installed walk, not our price. Your own figure comes from the estimate, after I've measured the walk and looked at the ground.

Who pays if sidewalk work in Anaheim doesn't meet the permit?

The applicant does, because under the city's right-of-way permit the applicant agrees to pay for removing or properly replacing any work that fails to comply. Getting it right the first time keeps that extra cost off your bill.

Building a concrete sidewalk along an Anaheim street

In Anaheim, a sidewalk along a public street, alley or easement is the city's to approve. Under the permit, the forms that hold the wet concrete and the subgrade beneath them are inspected and approved before any concrete goes in, so the pour waits on that sign-off. We check with the city before we begin, handle the application and book the inspections, and if we're unsure what the city wants, we ask before we start.

Many of the walks we build connect a driveway to the front door on established lots, with sprinkler lines, lawn edges and a neighbor's walk close by, so we plan where the new concrete meets each one. We do the same work in Fullerton and Orange, and across Orange County and nearby, so please call even if your city isn't listed.
