Concrete sidewalk contractor in Memphis, TN: replace what is cracked, lifted or sinking

A cracked or lifted sidewalk is more than an eyesore. It is a trip hazard, it lets water collect, and it gets worse every year. Most sidewalks fail for the same reasons: roots, poor drainage and a thin or missing base. Replacing the concrete without fixing the cause only repeats the problem.

Baltz & Sons Concrete is a family-owned Memphis concrete contractor. We install and replace concrete sidewalks for homes and properties, tie them into driveways, entries and walkways, and finish them so they are comfortable and safe to walk on.

Every sidewalk

What is included

The same careful process on every sidewalk, short or long.

Site visit and layout

We measure, mark the path and agree on width, slope and how it connects to your drive and entry.

Removal of old concrete

Cracked, lifted or sunken sections are broken out and hauled away.

Grading and drainage

Slope is set so water runs off the sidewalk and away from your property.

Compacted base

A prepared base supports the slab and limits settling and heaving.

Joints and reinforcement

Planned joints and reinforcement keep movement from becoming cracks.

Safe broom finish

A textured finish gives traction in wet weather, with clean tooled edges.

What affects sidewalk cost

We price after seeing the site. These are the factors that move the number.
  • Length and width. Total square footage is the biggest driver of material and labor.
  • Removal. Breaking out and hauling away old concrete adds time.
  • Roots and soil. Tree roots and poor soil may need extra work before new concrete goes in.
  • Access. How easily crews and trucks can reach the site affects the job.
  • Finish and tie-ins. Colored finishes, borders and connections to steps or driveways add detail.

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!”

Charlene M · Memphis · Driveway

★★★★★

“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!”

The full sidewalk guide

Tree roots, water that collects under the slab and a weak base are the most common causes. As soil washes out or swells, the slab moves unevenly, which makes cracks and raised edges. We find the cause first so the new sidewalk does not fail the same way.

Raised edges are a common cause of trips and falls. New sidewalks are poured to consistent levels with a broom finish for traction, and we blend them cleanly into steps, driveways and entries.

Roots can lift concrete over time. Where trees are close, we plan depth, joints and sometimes root management so your investment lasts. We talk through options before we start.

A comfortable sidewalk is wide enough for two people and slopes gently so water drains. We lay out the path with you and mark it before pouring.

Sidewalks that touch the street, curb or public right of way may be subject to city rules or permits. We help you understand what applies to your address before work begins.

New concrete is usually ready for foot traffic in about 24 to 48 hours. We tell you when it is safe to use and how long to keep heavier loads off.
