Your walkway is one of the first things visitors notice—and one of the first places safety issues can arise. Over time, even the best concrete walkways can deteriorate due to weather, wear, or shifting soil. But how do you know when repairs won’t cut it anymore?
At Prestige Concrete, we specialize in replacing concrete walkways that are past their prime. Here are the most common signs that your walkway needs more than a patch job.
Hairline cracks are normal as concrete cures and ages, but large or growing cracks are a red flag. These could signal shifting soil, poor drainage, or foundation movement. If you see wide gaps or cracks that create tripping hazards, it’s time for a new walkway.
Sinking spots, uneven edges, or slanted slabs can lead to serious injuries. These problems often occur due to poor soil compaction, tree root damage, or erosion underneath the slab. Replacing the walkway ensures a level, safe surface.
If water pools on your walkway after a rain, there may be improper slope or sunken areas that prevent runoff. Long-term water exposure speeds up concrete deterioration and creates slip hazards.
Chipping, flaking, or crumbling surfaces (called "spalling") are signs that your concrete’s top layer is failing. While resurfacing can be a temporary fix, severe cases usually require a full replacement to prevent deeper structural issues.
Sometimes it's not about damage—it's about design. If your current walkway looks outdated or no longer complements your home’s style, a new one can dramatically improve curb appeal. Prestige Concrete can help you design a walkway that’s both functional and beautiful.
Patching or leveling a damaged walkway may only last a short while. If the root problem (like poor subgrade or shifting soil) isn’t addressed, issues will return. Replacement allows us to:
