Why Repair or Install a New Sidewalk?
A well-built sidewalk makes your property safer, cleaner-looking, and easier to maintain:
Safety & Trip-Hazard Reduction: Uneven slabs, heaving, and cracking create tripping risks. Repairs and replacements restore a smooth, level walking surface.
Curb Appeal: Fresh concrete or paver sidewalks instantly upgrade the look of your entry and frontage in Bucks, Montgomery, and Delaware County neighborhoods.
Drainage & Water Control: Proper pitch and base prep help prevent water pooling near foundations, steps, and driveways.
Code & Accessibility: We build to practical slope and spacing standards and can help you plan for ADA-friendly access where needed.
Long-Term Value: Quality sidewalk work signals a well-maintained home and can reduce future maintenance costs from recurring settlement or root damage.

Our Sidewalk Repair & Installation Process
-
We visit your property in Bucks, Montgomery, or Delaware County to evaluate cracking, settlement, drainage, and access. We’ll discuss your goals (repair vs. replace), finish preferences, and budget.
-
We outline the sidewalk layout, thickness, edges, joints, and finish type (broom finish, smooth, stamped, pavers, etc.). If the sidewalk ties into steps, patios, or a driveway apron, we coordinate transitions for a seamless result.
-
Long-lasting sidewalks start below the surface. We remove failed sections (as needed), excavate to proper depth, and install a compacted stone base designed to reduce future shifting. Our team then forms and installs the sidewalk with attention to line, level, and pitch for drainage. We complete finishing details and clean transitions to adjacent surfaces.
-
We protect the new surface during cure time, keep the site tidy, and walk you through care tips so your sidewalk stays in excellent condition for years.

FAQs
-
Permit requirements vary by township and borough across Bucks, Delaware, and Montgomery counties—especially for work near the curb line, public right-of-way, or if the sidewalk impacts drainage. Green Slate Masonry can help you understand local requirements and plan accordingly.
-
If the damage is isolated (minor cracking or small sections of unevenness), repairs may be a good option. If the sidewalk is repeatedly shifting, heavily spalled, or broken into multiple unstable slabs, replacement is often the safest and most cost-effective long-term fix.
-
A broom finish is a popular choice in Pennsylvania because it provides traction in wet and icy conditions. We can also discuss other finishes depending on your home’s style and surrounding hardscape.
-
Proper excavation, a compacted base, and correct grading are key. We also evaluate drainage patterns and common causes like downspout discharge or soil washout to reduce the chance of future settlement.
