Concrete walkway and flatwork contractor in Memphis, TN

Flatwork is the everyday concrete around your property: walkways to the front door, paths through the yard, pads for equipment, steps, entries and sidewalks. It looks simple, but it is where trip hazards, standing water and early cracking show up if the grading, base and finishing are not done carefully.

Baltz & Sons Concrete is a family-owned Memphis concrete contractor. We pour concrete walkways and flatwork as stand-alone projects or alongside driveways and patios, so everything on your property matches in color, finish and level.

Every flatwork project

What is included

The same prep and finish on every walkway, pad and entry.

Layout and measuring

We walk the site, plan the path or pad and agree on width, shape and connections.

Removal of old concrete

Cracked or sunken walkways are removed so the new concrete starts on solid ground.

Grading and drainage

Slope is set so water drains away from the house and does not pool on the surface.

Compacted base

A prepared base supports the slab and helps prevent heaving and settling.

Forms, joints and reinforcement

Clean forms, planned joints and reinforcement where needed keep the concrete stable.

Safe finish

A broom or textured finish gives traction, and edges are tooled cleanly.

What affects walkway and flatwork cost

Small projects and large ones are priced after a site visit. These are the factors that matter most.
  • Area and shape. The total square footage and any curves, steps or transitions.
  • Removal. Tearing out and hauling away old concrete adds labor.
  • Site and access. Slope, drainage and how easily crews and trucks reach the work.
  • Finish. Broom finish is most economical. Colored, stamped and decorative finishes add cost.
  • Add-ons. Steps, railings, lighting and borders can be added to match your home.

Reviews

★★★★★

“These guys are busy but well worth the wait! The design was excellent and the crews fulfilled our expectations completely. Kevin did a great job with the design of a new cabana and grill station addition to the pool deck. I was surprised later to find that he won first place in Residential Design with his work. These guys are highly recommended!”

★★★★★

“Baltz & Sons was the perfect selection for our driveway project. The owner, Kevin, goes above and beyond for customers. We appreciated how he communicated throughout the job. The creativity he brought to the table was so helpful. My husband and I weren’t entirely sure what the end result should look like and Kevin came up with ideas that were just what we needed, all the while coming up with something that was reasonably priced. Our driveway is just what we wanted!”

★★★★★

“We are more than pleased with the work done by Baltz and Sons Concrete. They redid our driveway and added masonry walls with integrated lights and it all looks beautiful. I can’t recommend them enough. They are wonderful!”

Most failing walkways have the same causes: poor drainage, a weak or missing base, tree roots or soil that moves. Replacing the concrete without fixing the cause just repeats the problem. We look at why the old walkway failed and correct it as part of the new pour.

Lifted or uneven concrete is a trip hazard for you and your guests. We set consistent levels, tie new work into existing steps and entries, and use broom or textured finishes for traction in wet weather.

A comfortable walkway is wide enough for two people and slopes gently so water drains. We lay out the path with you, mark it before the pour and make sure it connects cleanly to doors, steps, driveways and patios.

New concrete rarely matches old concrete exactly in color. We can use color and finishes to blend or contrast new work with what you have, and we talk through what to expect before we start.

Steps and landings need consistent heights and solid footings. We build them to be safe and to suit the architecture of your home, and we can add borders or accents at the entry.

New concrete is usually ready for foot traffic in about 24 to 48 hours. Keep heavy loads and vehicles off for about a week or longer. We confirm timing at the walkthrough.
