JC Concrete
Sidewalk Installation Services
Sidewalks and walkways are essential for safe pedestrian movement, curb appeal, and code compliance. JC Concrete provides sidewalk installation, replacement, and repair services across Salinas and Monterey County. From ADA-compliant curb ramps to decorative pathways for residential landscapes, we ensure sidewalks are safe, durable, and designed to meet local regulations.
Why quality sidewalk work matters
A sidewalk is a public-facing asset that must meet multiple requirements: safety, accessibility, and durability. Proper installation helps prevent trip hazards, ensures compliance with ADA and municipal codes, and reduces liability for property owners. Quality sidewalk work addresses:
- Subgrade stability to prevent heaving and settlement.
- Proper slope and drainage to avoid water pooling.
- Accurate joint placement to control cracking.
- Surface texture for slip resistance and long-term wear.

How we approach sidewalk projects
01
Site inspection and compliance review
We identify code requirements, plan joint layouts, check utilities, and measure for proper slopes and transitions.
02
Preparation and demolition
We remove damaged sections, address root intrusion, and remove unsuitable soil as needed.
03
Base compaction and drainage planning
A stable base prevents long-term issues. We correct grading and provide proper fall to drainage inlets where necessary.
04
Reinforcement and pouring
Depending on slab size and load, we place control joints, rebar, or wire mesh to handle pedestrian and occasional vehicular traffic.
05
Finishing and accessibility features
We apply surface textures for traction and install detectable warning surfaces where required.
Common sidewalk FAQs
Do you handle city sidewalk repairs?
Yes. We work with property owners and property managers on repairs that involve public-facing sidewalks. We can assist with permitting and coordinate with local authorities when necessary.
How long do sidewalks last?
With proper installation and drainage, sidewalks can last several decades. Heaving from roots or poor drainage are the most common causes of early failure.
Can you make decorative sidewalks?
Yes. We offer exposed aggregate, colored concrete, and subtle stamping to match your landscape design while keeping surfaces slip-resistant.
What about tree roots causing sidewalk lifts?
We evaluate root issues and recommend solutions: root pruning, installation of root barriers, partial slab replacement with root-friendly designs, or full tree and sidewalk remediation in coordination with arborists where required.
