Flatwork
Concrete Steps, Sidewalks & Walkways
Steps, sidewalks, and walkways are the concrete you and every visitor touch every single day — and the first thing that looks bad when it cracks or settles. Dougherty Concrete replaces and pours steps, sidewalks, walkways, and aprons across Upper Darby and Delaware County, with the level, even surfaces our Angi reviewers specifically call out.
The everyday concrete that matters most
A cracked front step or a heaved sidewalk panel is both a trip hazard and the first impression of your home. We remove the old concrete, fix whatever caused it to fail underneath, and pour level, even steps and walks that drain properly and hold up to foot traffic and weather.
Several of our Angi reviews are for exactly this work — "replacing my sidewalk, step, apron and walkway," "removed and rebuilt my old walkway and steps." It is bread-and-butter flatwork we do cleanly and often.
Code-friendly, trip-free
Public sidewalks in many Delaware County municipalities have repair requirements and inspections. We pour to consistent dimensions, with even riser heights on steps and proper slope on walks, so the result is safe, square, and holds up — not a patch that lifts again the next freeze.
What a steps & walkway job includes
- Demolition and haul-off of the old, cracked, or heaved concrete
- Base repair so the new pour does not settle again
- Even riser heights on steps; proper slope on walks
- Aprons and transitions tied in cleanly
- Broom finish for grip and safety
- Clean debris removal
How it goes
From the first look to a clean site.
- 01
Assess what failed
We find why the old concrete cracked or settled so the new pour does not repeat it.
- 02
Remove & prep
Old concrete out, base corrected and compacted, forms set.
- 03
Pour & finish
Steps and walks poured level and even, with a broom finish for grip.
- 04
Clean up
Debris hauled off and the property left clean — something our reviewers mention.
What it costs
Steps, sidewalks, and walkways are priced by the linear or square footage, the number of steps, demolition of the old surface, and any base repair needed underneath. These are some of the most affordable concrete jobs to get right — and the most noticeable when they are done well. Free estimates, always.
FAQ
Steps & Walkways — questions before you call
Do you replace public sidewalks that the township flagged?
Yes. We pour sidewalks to consistent dimensions and proper slope to meet municipal repair requirements across Delaware County. Bring us the notice and we will handle the replacement.
Can you match new steps to my existing porch?
We pour steps with even riser heights and tie them into your existing porch, apron, or walkway so the transition is clean and safe to use.
Why did my old sidewalk crack and heave?
Usually a poor or washed-out base, tree roots, or freeze-thaw under a too-thin slab. We correct the base before pouring so the new concrete stays level.
How long until I can walk on new steps?
Foot traffic is generally fine after about 24–48 hours. We will tell you exactly based on the weather during your pour.
