HIGH-QUALITY CONCRETE SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION
Noticed These Issues in Your Concrete Sidewalk?
Harsh Baltimore Winters are the cause of most damage to concrete sidewalks. Some of the damages from the Winter months include spalling or scalling concrete and/or cracking of concrete sidewalks.
When concrete sidewalk surfaces are saturated with water and temperature approaches freezing, water expands as it forms ice and this causes stresses within the concrete. Using deicing chemicals will exacerbate this by allowing the surface to become even more saturated, combined with the number of freeze/thaw cycles throughout the Winter. Air Entrained concrete is critical when pouring concrete sidewalks as this adds millions of tiny air bubbles to the concrete mix, allowing water to expand, when necessary, to prevent any potential stress buildup.
At F&M Contractors, we prevent the potential of scalling concrete sidewalks by using a good quality, air entrained concrete mix, followed by 40 years of good concrete sidewalk finishes practices and proper curing techniques.
Tree roots could also cause tripping hazards along concrete sidewalks and can be potentially dangerous to your family and guests.
Best Practices for Your Concrete Sidewalk
Whatever the issue, we at F&M Contractors will help you with the best solution for your concrete sidewalk needs.
First, we begin by removing the old concrete sidewalk and hauling any debris off site. We will then set grades to ensure proper drainage to prevent any standing water. Wood forms are installed along the grade lines and secured in place with wooden stakes and metal pins.
A new, level, crushed stone base is installed and properly compacted.
We are then ready to pour concrete! A quality 4000 PSI, air entrained concrete mix, will be used with fibermesh as reinforcement. Proper control joints are placed to allow for expansion and contraction. We finish by applying a light broom finish which will provide traction for you, your family and guests.
You will be able to walk on your new concrete sidewalk the very next day!
