Sidewalks & Walkways
ADA-compliant sidewalks, pedestrian walkways, and accessible pathways for commercial properties and public spaces.
Applications
Project Timeline
Typical timeline for 1,000 linear feet of commercial sidewalk (2-3 weeks total): Week 1: Site preparation, layout and staking, excavation, subgrade compaction, aggregate base installation and compaction, form installation, reinforcement placement. Week 2: Pre-pour inspection, concrete placement, finishing (broom/trowel/decorative), control joint cutting, curing compound application, form removal. Week 3: Joint sealing, final cleanup, inspection, and project closeout. Decorative finishes (stamping, coloring, exposed aggregate) may add 3-5 days. Complex projects with multiple elevations, extensive curb ramps, or utility conflicts may extend to 4 weeks.
Technical Specifications
Denton Area Considerations
Denton's municipal code strictly enforces ADA compliance for all commercial sidewalk projects, with detailed plan review and multiple inspections required throughout construction. The City's Public Works Department maintains specific sidewalk construction standards that supplement IBC requirements. Denton's expansive clay soils require particular attention to subgrade preparation and drainage—inadequate base preparation leads to settlement, heaving, and cracking within a few years. The North Texas climate creates favorable conditions for concrete curing most of the year, though summer heat requires careful attention to prevent rapid moisture loss that causes surface cracking and reduced strength. Minimal freeze-thaw cycling means air entrainment is less critical than in northern climates, though we still specify 4-7% air content for long-term durability. Tree root conflicts are common in established commercial areas—coordination with Denton's Urban Forestry division is required when working near significant trees. The City's commitment to walkability and complete streets means pedestrian access requirements are taken seriously, and accessibility must be maintained throughout construction with marked detours. Water utilities, electrical vaults, and telecommunications infrastructure are common under Denton sidewalks—the 811 Texas One-Call system must be contacted before excavation, and we coordinate with utility providers to verify clearances.
Frequently Asked Questions
Featured Projects
Shopping Center Pedestrian Network - Denton Town Center
Constructed 3,200 linear feet of commercial sidewalks connecting multiple retail buildings, parking areas, and public right-of-way for a major shopping center renovation. Project included standard 6-foot walkways, wider 8-foot main corridors, multiple ADA-compliant curb ramps with detectable warnings, decorative stamped concrete in high-visibility areas, and integration with existing site drainage and landscaping. Work was phased to maintain customer access throughout construction.
Results:
Completed project in 5 weeks across 3 phases. All sidewalks met ADA compliance standards and passed city inspection on first review. Stamped concrete borders in earth-tone colors enhanced property appearance and increased foot traffic between tenant spaces. Zero trip hazards or drainage issues reported in first 18 months. Property manager noted improved customer experience and reduced maintenance compared to old asphalt walkways.
Medical Office Campus - Accessible Path System
Designed and installed comprehensive accessible path system for new 45,000 SF medical office building including main entrance walkways, covered drop-off area, parking lot sidewalks, and connections to adjacent properties. Project required precise elevation control, multiple curb ramps with specific grading, integration with complex site drainage, coordination with landscaping including mature tree preservation, and high-quality finish appropriate for professional medical environment.
Results:
Delivered fully ADA-compliant sidewalk system with perfect slope tolerances verified by laser level. All 12 curb ramps met federal and TAS requirements. Broom-finished concrete provides slip-resistant surface even when wet. Completed in 3 weeks including decorative exposed aggregate at main entrance. System passed Texas Medical Board accessibility inspection and city building department final inspection with zero corrections required. Project earned recognition from architect for quality of execution and attention to detail.
Municipal Sidewalk Replacement - Downtown Denton
Replaced 1,800 linear feet of deteriorated downtown sidewalks including variable-width sections (5-12 feet), integration with historic district architectural standards, accommodation of existing street trees, multiple utility conflicts requiring coordination with water, electric, and telecom providers, and maintaining pedestrian and business access throughout construction in active retail district.
Results:
Completed project in 6 weeks with night and weekend work to minimize business disruption. Preserved all existing trees using hand excavation near root zones and installed root barriers. Matched existing decorative scoring pattern to maintain historic character. All utility conflicts resolved without service interruption. Final sidewalks provide dramatically improved accessibility and appearance, contributing to downtown revitalization. City received positive feedback from business owners and zero pedestrian complaints during construction. Project recognized by Denton Main Street Program for quality work in historic district.
