Professional Sidewalk and Pavement Installation in Philadelphia
At Dundon and Son Construction, LLC, we specialize in high-quality sidewalk and pavement installation services throughout Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs. With over 20 years of hands-on experience in the concrete industry, we’ve seen it all—uneven walkways, crumbling curbs, heaved sidewalks from tree roots, and improperly sloped pavement that leads to water damage. When you hire us, you're not just getting a concrete company; you're hiring a family-owned business that cares about quality, durability, and craftsmanship on every single job.
Whether you need a brand-new sidewalk poured, an existing walkway replaced, or durable concrete pavement installed around a commercial or residential property, we’re ready to get it done right.
Why Sidewalk and Pavement Quality Matters
Sidewalks and pavement are more than just functional features—they’re essential to your property's curb appeal, safety, and accessibility. Uneven or deteriorating sidewalks create tripping hazards, violate city regulations, and can even lead to liability concerns for property owners. Poorly installed pavement can crack, sink, or buckle prematurely, resulting in costly repairs later.
At Dundon and Son Construction, we help home and business owners avoid these issues through expert craftsmanship, premium materials, and the right installation techniques from start to finish.
Our Process: Precision from the Ground Up
Every sidewalk or pavement project we take on is completed with the highest attention to detail. Here's what to expect when you work with us:
1. Free On-Site Estimate
We start with a free, no-pressure estimate at your property. We’ll walk the site with you, assess your needs, identify potential problem areas, and offer experienced advice on layout, drainage, thickness, and reinforcement options.
2. Permitting & Compliance
As a licensed and insured contractor, we make sure all necessary permits are secured and that your sidewalk or pavement installation meets Philadelphia’s code requirements. From sidewalk slope to curb height and ADA accessibility—everything is built to spec.
3. Excavation & Subbase Preparation
A long-lasting sidewalk or pavement job starts with what’s underneath it. We excavate to the proper depth, add compacted crushed stone for a stable base, and ensure correct grading for drainage.
4. Forming & Reinforcement
We use heavy-duty forms to define clean, straight edges or custom curves. For added durability, we can incorporate wire mesh or rebar reinforcement to help your sidewalk or pavement withstand freeze-thaw cycles, tree root pressure, and heavy foot traffic.
5. Concrete Pouring & Finishing
Once the concrete is poured, our crew smooths and levels it with precision tools. We offer a variety of finishing styles—broom, float, trowel, or stamped—for aesthetic appeal and slip resistance.
6. Control Joints & Curing
We cut expansion and control joints to minimize cracking over time. Proper curing techniques are also followed to strengthen the concrete and extend its lifespan.
Types of Sidewalk and Pavement Projects We Handle
Residential Sidewalks
Whether you're replacing an old, cracked front walk or installing a brand-new pathway along your property line, we handle all residential sidewalk installations with the same care and precision as large-scale jobs.
Commercial Walkways and Pavement
Curb appeal and compliance matter for businesses too. We install concrete walkways, curbs, ADA-compliant ramps, and pavement for restaurants, retail stores, apartment complexes, and more.
Public Right-of-Way and Sidewalk Violations
Received a sidewalk violation notice from the City of Philadelphia? Don’t panic—we can inspect the issue, complete the necessary repairs or replacement, and help you resolve it quickly and correctly.
Concrete Aprons and Driveway Approaches
We also install concrete aprons at the foot of your driveway to ensure smooth transitions from the street and proper alignment with city sidewalks.
Curbs and Gutters
Concrete curbs and drainage gutters are crucial for stormwater control and sidewalk support. We install and repair curbs in both residential and commercial settings.
Custom Finishing Options Available
While most clients opt for a traditional broom finish for sidewalks and walkways (for its balance of function and texture), we also offer custom finishes:
Exposed Aggregate: Reveals the stone within the concrete for a decorative, textured look.
Smooth Float Finish: Ideal for interior or light foot-traffic areas.
Stamped Concrete Borders: Add visual interest with stamped accents alongside standard pavement.
Colored Concrete: Custom tints available to match existing design or hardscape elements.
We’re happy to consult with you on design options to ensure your new sidewalk or pavement looks just as good as it performs.
