Concrete Sidewalks & Walkways
Safe, attractive walkways that connect your property and enhance curb appeal.
Why Your Sidewalks and Walkways Need Professional Installation
Your walkways are more than just paths from point A to point B. They're the first thing guests see when they arrive, and they need to be safe for everyone who uses them, from kids heading to the bus stop to grandparents visiting for the holidays.
A poorly installed walkway can crack, settle unevenly, or create tripping hazards within just a few years. At Hillstone Woodbury Concrete, we build sidewalks and walkways that stay level and safe for decades. We know how Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles affect concrete, and we prepare every project to handle the stress.

How We Install Sidewalks and Walkways
Every walkway project starts with understanding how you'll use the space and where water needs to drain. Then we follow a proven process to ensure your new walkway stays beautiful and functional for years to come.
Planning and Layout
We measure and mark the exact path, checking for proper width, connections to existing surfaces, and accessibility requirements. If your walkway connects to your driveway or patio, we make sure the transitions are smooth and safe.
Base Preparation
We excavate to the right depth and install a compacted gravel base that won't settle or shift. This step is critical because any movement in the base will eventually show up as cracks or uneven surfaces in your walkway.
Pouring and Finishing
We pour quality concrete mix at the proper thickness and finish it with a texture that provides good traction without being rough underfoot. We add control joints in the right places to manage natural cracking and keep your walkway looking clean.
Walkway Options for Woodbury Properties
Every property is different, and your walkways should fit your home's style and your family's needs. We install everything from simple front walkways to elaborate garden paths.
Front Entry Walkways
The walkway from your driveway or street to your front door sets the tone for your home. We can pour a classic straight path or create a curved design that adds visual interest and complements your landscaping.
Side and Backyard Paths
Connect different areas of your property with durable concrete paths. These walkways keep grass and mud off your shoes and provide safe, dry access to gardens, sheds, or gates year-round.
Decorative Walkways
Want something more than plain gray concrete? Ask about stamped patterns, colored concrete, or exposed aggregate finishes that add personality to your property while still delivering the durability concrete is known for.
