In Baltimore, property owners are responsible for the sidewalk in front of their home. A cracked or heaved sidewalk isn't just an eyesore — it's a potential liability if someone trips and is injured. The city can also issue citations requiring you to repair or replace the sidewalk at your expense.
We handle sidewalk replacement from permit to pour. Our work meets city code requirements for width, thickness, slope, and ADA compliance where applicable, and we coordinate with the city to ensure inspections go smoothly.
What's Included in Our Sidewalk Work
Old Sidewalk Removal
We saw-cut panel joints and break up the old slab for efficient removal without damaging surrounding areas.
Sub-Base Grading
The ground beneath the new slab is graded, compacted, and prepared to prevent future settling or heaving.
Proper Thickness & Reinforcement
Sidewalks are poured at code-required thickness (typically 4 inches) with wire mesh or rebar where soil conditions warrant it.
Slope & Drainage
We set forms with the correct cross-slope so water drains to the street and doesn't pool on the walking surface.
Control Joints
Joints are tooled or cut at regular intervals to control where any shrinkage cracking occurs — keeping panels neat and intact.
FAQs
Do I need a permit for sidewalk replacement?
In Baltimore City and some counties, a permit is required. We handle all permit applications on your behalf.
Can you replace just one panel instead of the whole sidewalk?
Yes — if damage is isolated to one or two panels, we can replace them individually. We saw-cut clean joints for a neat result.
How long does sidewalk replacement take?
Most sidewalk jobs are completed in one day. The concrete is ready for foot traffic in 24–48 hours.
Will the new panels match my existing sidewalk?
New concrete will be lighter than weathered existing sidewalk initially. It will weather and blend over time. We match texture and panel layout as closely as possible.
