Concrete Services
New walks, extensions, and replacement sections built on a prepared base.
A cracked front walk, a muddy route to the shop, or a narrow path that no longer works for your property can make everyday trips a hassle. D&D Does It LLC installs and replaces concrete sidewalks and walkways in Bristol, Kingsport, Johnson City, and surrounding Tri-Cities communities. We build new paths, replace damaged sections, extend existing walks, and create routes to garages and outbuildings.
A walkway may be smaller than a driveway, but the work below the concrete still matters. We prepare and compact the base, plan where water will go, form the path, and use a broom finish for traction. Devin or Davy can walk the proposed route with you and provide a free on-site estimate and itemized written proposal.
The work we do
A front sidewalk should make it easy to move between your driveway, porch, steps, and yard. We install new concrete walkways with attention to the path's location, grade, and how the finished surface meets the areas around it. If an existing route is awkward or frequently wet, the estimate is a good time to discuss a more practical layout.
Walking through mud or wet grass each time you visit a detached building gets old quickly. We pour concrete paths to shops, garages, and other outbuildings so you have a defined walking surface. The route and surrounding grade are discussed before work begins.
An existing walk may stop short of the place you need to reach. D&D Does It LLC accepts walkway extension projects. During the site visit, we can look at how the new section will connect to the current concrete and whether adjacent grades affect the plan. The written proposal identifies the work being quoted.
An uneven walkway is not always just a surface problem. Cracks and raised panels can be associated with movement below the concrete, drainage, or inadequate support. D&D Does It LLC replaces damaged walkway sections and pays attention to the base and grade before pouring the replacement.
Replacing a panel will not automatically correct a broader drainage or soil problem. We assess the affected area and discuss the proposed work before providing a written scope.
Below the surface
A walkway needs to be supported and to shed water appropriately. Our installation approach includes compacting the base, setting forms, planning slope, and applying a broom texture. These steps are especially relevant where an existing path has heaved, cracked, or collected water.
Pouring a new surface over poorly prepared ground can leave the concrete vulnerable to movement. We look at the condition of the work area and prepare a compacted base rather than treating the concrete surface as the whole job. The actual preparation needed depends on what is found at the property.
Water should not be directed toward a house or left to collect unnecessarily on a walk. Before pouring, we look at how the path relates to the yard and nearby structures. For an existing sidewalk with puddles or movement, any proposed drainage or grade work should be clearly described in the estimate. No drainage-system installation is implied unless included in the approved scope.
Our walkway work uses a broom-textured finish. The surface texture is intended to provide traction, including during rainy conditions. A broom finish is not a promise that a walkway will never become slippery, especially when ice or debris is present.
Accessibility
D&D Does It LLC also accepts wheelchair-accessible walkway and ramp projects when a project plan is provided. If you already have a plan, bring it to the estimate so the crew can review the concrete portion of the proposed work and determine whether it is within scope.
Plan required
The required slope, landings, dimensions, and any accessibility or building requirements depend on the specific project and applicable rules. D&D Does It LLC is not an accessibility designer and does not certify that a particular layout meets those requirements.
Options
There is no single fix for every cracked sidewalk. Small surface cracks, settled sections, and badly broken panels are different problems. A surface repair may change appearance without addressing movement below. Leveling may be worth considering for some settled concrete, while a badly damaged panel may be more suitable for replacement.
D&D Does It LLC has a separate concrete leveling service, but not every walkway is necessarily a candidate. An on-site look helps determine what work makes sense. Where replacement is proposed, the quote should describe the section to be removed and the new concrete work, rather than suggesting a quick patch will solve every underlying issue.
Pricing
The cost of a concrete sidewalk or walkway depends on the actual work required, not just its length. Items that may affect the scope include:
A 20-foot walkway, for example, cannot be priced accurately from length alone. D&D Does It LLC offers free on-site estimates and itemized written proposals so you can review the planned scope before work begins. Changes during the project require written approval.
Our process
Devin or Davy meets with you to see the existing conditions, understand where the walkway needs to go, and discuss the work requested.
You receive an itemized scope for the work being quoted. If removal, grading, or a connection to existing concrete is involved, the relevant work should be addressed in that proposal.
For new concrete walks, our process includes preparing and compacting the base, setting forms, and planning slope.
The walkway is poured to the agreed scope and given the specified finish, including a broom texture where appropriate.
We review the work with you. If a material change becomes necessary before completion, it is explained and submitted for written approval rather than automatically added.
