Concrete Pathway

Pathways and walkways are essentially the same things. We do however feel it is important to explain how we go about ensuring that yours is poured correctly. It is not just about adding some water and making sure it is level. There is a range of aspects that one needs to take into account during the planning process to ensure that everything runs as it should. Here at Waterloo Concrete Driveways Co, we believe that by doubling up on everything, we can reduce the chance of something going wrong. So take a look below to find out more.

Placement And Excavation

This is by far the most important aspect when it comes to planning the route of your pathway. One needs to plot a course that provides the right balance between practicality and beauty. Once this has been established and confirmed, the next step is to excavate the route. One needs to remove all grass, roots, and other forms of debris. Then it is time to tap down and level the surface. All this will help turn the blueprint in your head into a reality. So don't waste another second, just give us a call and let us get this show on the road.

Framework

Now that we have the foundation all dug out and ready to go, we bet you think it is time to start pouring. By all means, you can, but we promise the concrete is going to flow everywhere and just cause a massive mess. Before pouring, you need to build the framework to assist whilst you begin the pouring process. This will help you channel it, and you can control the thickness to reach your desired effect. Luckily for you, our framing techniques are able to adapt to any shape or size to ensure your walkway is nothing short of perfect.

Pour, Level, Smooth

The time has come to see if all our planning and preparation have paid off. We have finally reached the point where the concrete is ready to be poured. This needs to be done quickly, professionally and before the concrete begins to set, you need to start leveling and smoothing it out. This is done to ensure once it starts to set, it gives you the look and feels we have been aiming for. This technique has stood the test of time, and we guarantee it will provide the results you are after. All you have to do is sit back and watch the magic happen.

Finishing

After letting the surface set for an hour or so, it is time to add those details that will make your pathway or walkway stand out from the rest. This is the point we get to stamp or edge it to make sure we pay attention to even the smallest details. We can even add color if this is what you want. The choice is yours and all you need to do is tell us what you want and when. Our experts will make sure they try their absolute best to bring it to life and then some.
