Concrete Walkways, Sidewalks & RV Pads
Front walks that work with your yard's water, sidewalk repairs that fix the cause, and RV pads specced for the heaviest rig you'll ever park.
This is for you if…
- A walkway panel has lifted into a trip hazard, or a stretch is cracked through
- You're adding a front walk, side path, or garden paths
- You need a dedicated RV pad built for the actual vehicle
- You've noticed water ponding along an existing path after rain
It's probably not, if…
- You want stepping stones or pavers — different trade, and sometimes the right call
- The panels are sound and just stained — cleaning or resurfacing may be all you need
- You need a same-week weekday pour — we schedule by appointment, Friday through Sunday
What this is, in plain language
Walkways, sidewalks and RV pads are the pours that get treated as afterthoughts — small slabs, simple shapes, easy bids. We treat them as small jobs with full-size planning, because they fail the same ways big slabs do, and two of them carry special responsibilities: a walkway crosses your yard's water paths, and an RV pad carries the heaviest loads on your property.
A walkway is a strip of waterproof material laid across ground that — on much of Fresno's hardpan soil — moves all of its water across the surface. Poured carelessly, it becomes a dam that drowns the uphill side of your yard, or a channel that walks water along your foundation. Poured to a plan, it works with the flow instead of against it. The common mistakes are worth five minutes.
An RV pad is the opposite problem: not water crossing it, but weight parked on it for months. The spec follows one honest number — the loaded weight of the biggest rig that will ever park there — and that number sets the thickness, the reinforcement, and the approach apron. The full planning guide is here.
The problems this solves
Lifted, cracked sidewalk panels. Usually tree roots or water under the slab. The replacement scope names the cause and the fix — otherwise new panels inherit the old problem. What to expect from a sidewalk replacement.
A yard that floods along the path. Cross-fall away from the house, a planned route for the yard's water, and attention to downspouts — small lines in a scope that prevent large annoyances.
An RV parked on a slab built like a patio. Point loads crack underbuilt pads fast. Load-matched thickness and a properly compacted, properly drained base are the whole game.
What it costs — honestly
Small jobs carry proportionally more setup per square foot, and RV pads price by load, not just area. The drivers are public on the pricing page; the on-site estimate is free.
What's included
- Free on-site lot walk with Jose
- Written scope with the flow path and cross-fall planned
- Demo and haul-away of failed panels where needed
- Root and water causes named and addressed in the scope
- RV pads: thickness and reinforcement matched to your stated vehicle load
- Approach aprons built to pad spec, conduit placed before the pour
- Broom finish standard for traction, photos through the job, final walk-around
Timeline expectations: Walkway and sidewalk jobs typically run one to a few work days plus a day or two of cure before foot traffic. RV pads add cure time before the rig parks — about a month to full strength. Your scope maps the dates.
