Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a concrete sidewalk cost in Texas?
A standard 4-foot wide broom finish sidewalk in Texas costs $6 to $12 per square foot. A 40-foot front walk costs $960 to $1,920. Stamped or colored decorative sidewalks run $12 to $22 per square foot. Section replacement costs $8 to $15 per square foot including demolition. Trip hazard grinding is the most affordable fix at $20 to $50 per joint. Most residential sidewalk projects total $1,500 to $5,000.
Who is responsible for sidewalk repair in Texas?
In most Texas cities, property owners are responsible for maintaining sidewalks adjacent to their property, even in the public right-of-way. Cities like Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio have programs that share costs with homeowners for public sidewalk repairs. Some cities issue violations for trip hazards exceeding half an inch. Check your city's sidewalk program, as some offer 50-50 cost sharing or low-interest loans for required repairs.
How do I prevent tree roots from lifting my sidewalk?
Install a root barrier along the sidewalk edge nearest large trees. Linear root barriers made of high-density polyethylene deflect roots downward away from the slab. When pouring new sidewalks near trees, use a thicker aggregate base that discourages root growth. Consider routing the sidewalk further from tree trunks. For existing damage, a certified arborist can prune invasive roots before new concrete is poured without harming the tree.
How thick should a residential sidewalk be in Texas?
Residential sidewalks in Texas should be 4 inches thick minimum, poured over a compacted 3 to 4 inch aggregate base. On expansive clay soil, increase the base to 4 to 6 inches with geotextile fabric beneath. Where vehicles cross the sidewalk, such as driveway aprons, thickness should increase to 6 inches with rebar reinforcement. Control joints should be cut or tooled every 4 to 5 feet to control cracking.
How long does sidewalk concrete take to cure?
Sidewalks can be walked on after 24 to 48 hours. Full cure takes 28 days, after which the concrete reaches design strength. In Texas summer heat, initial set occurs faster but proper curing is more critical. Apply curing compound or keep the surface moist for at least 5 to 7 days. Avoid placing heavy objects or driving across new sidewalk sections for at least 7 days, and 28 days for vehicle loads.
Does my Texas city require a permit for sidewalk work?
Most Texas cities require permits for new sidewalk construction in the public right-of-way. Private walkways on your property may not need a permit unless they connect to city infrastructure. Permit costs range from $50 to $200. The permit ensures proper thickness, width, ADA compliance, and drainage. Your contractor typically handles the permit process. Unpermitted work in the right-of-way can result in fines and required removal.
