Fort McMurray’s Concrete Sidewalk Experts
If you are looking to improve the beauty and functionality of your property, concrete sidewalks are one of your best options to achieve this outcome. The Concrete Pros. are your go-to concrete experts to get you from start to finish on your concrete sidewalk project. Whether you need an old sidewalk repaired or a new sidewalk installed from scratch, we can achieve your desired outcome.
New Sidewalks
Do you have a vision for a new concrete sidewalk on your property? Let us partner with you to get those sidewalks installed. We have a lot of experience in the city of Fort McMurray and the surrounding area of Wood Buffalo, so we can help you get the required permits you will need to get started. We can also discuss the best way to place the concrete sidewalks throughout your property and get the correct width for you to walk on comfortably.
Last but not least, we can go through the different finish options so that you can admire your new sidewalk and add that touch of style to your property. Once all these decisions are made, we can move forward with the excavation. We will prep your property by levelling the ground and creating a solid subbase out of crushed gravel. The gravel is compacted into place, and then forms are built into the size and shape that we decided on during the planning stage. Before the concrete cures, we will apply the finish of your choice. These finishes can be custom colours, stamps, or aggregate that will level up the look of your property.
Resurfacing or Replacing Concrete Sidewalks
The Concrete Pros. are your best choice if you want to bring some life back to an older concrete sidewalk. If your sidewalk has sinking or uneven areas, we can lift and level them to make them pleasing to the eye and safe to walk on again. If your subbase has eroded over time, we can repair it to give your concrete sidewalk solid ground again. We can fill cracks, reseal, and replace any section of your sidewalk that requires it. Resurfacing and repairing your sidewalk also allows you to add that beautiful finish that you’ve been admiring. Whatever you need to revive your old sidewalk, we are happy to help you!
Finishes
Trowel
A trowel finish for your concrete is typically done by hand and leaves a very smooth surface. It is a simple, classic look you can’t go wrong with. This finish is easy to maintain and gives you the option to add some other texture to it if you like. The drawback of the trowel finish is that it does not provide the traction that some of the other finishes offer.
Broom
The broom finish is very functional and a great option if you are on a budget. To achieve this finish, a stiff broom is brushed over the surface of the concrete before it cures. Unlike the trowel finish, the broom finish takes less time to create than the trowel finish. Because the surface does not have to be perfectly smooth, the broom finish requires fewer tools and labour, saving you money. Also, this finish provides much more traction than the trowel finish, as it is rough.
Exposed Aggregate
Exposed aggregate is achieved by mixing courser gravel into the concrete and then stripping the top layer to reveal the gravel pattern underneath. This is a great option for those looking for a stylistic look in their concrete and having excellent traction. Suppose you are looking to put even more of an aesthetic twist on your concrete, then you also have the option to add artificial elements to the concrete mix, giving you a very customized look.
Stamped Concrete
Stamped concrete is increasing in popularity as it allows for the affordability and durability of concrete, all while having the ability to be highly customizable. Stamping concrete will enable us to mimic more expensive materials. This is an excellent solution if you want a particular look but want to stay on budget. You can choose the colours and pattern that best suits your taste!
