More Than Just a Path From A to B

A well-built walkway does more than connect your front door to your driveway. It improves curb appeal, keeps people safe, and adds real value to your property. Whether you need a simple sidewalk along the front of your house or a winding garden path through your backyard, we pour walkways that are flat, smooth, and built to handle foot traffic for years.

Flatwork is our term for any horizontal concrete surface. That includes sidewalks, walkways, aprons, utility pads, and any other flat slab. At Premier Aiken Concrete, flatwork is one of our most requested services because it is something almost every property needs at some point.

We work with homeowners, property managers, and businesses across Aiken, SC. If you need a walkway that connects to a new patio, a sidewalk that meets ADA requirements, or a clean pad for your HVAC unit, we have you covered.

Types of Flatwork We Install

We handle all types of concrete flatwork for residential and commercial properties. Here are some of the most common projects we take on:

  • Front and back yard sidewalks connecting to driveways, patios, and entryways
  • Garden and landscape walkways with optional decorative finishes
  • Driveway aprons and approach slabs that connect to the street
  • Equipment pads for air conditioning units, generators, and hot tubs
  • ADA-compliant sidewalks and ramps for commercial properties
  • Replacement of cracked or uneven existing sidewalks and walkways

Every walkway we pour includes proper grading for water runoff, a compacted base for stability, and control joints to manage cracking. We also offer brushed, stamped, and exposed aggregate finishes to match your style.

Local Flatwork Expertise You Can Count On

Flatwork might sound simple, but getting it right takes experience. The concrete has to be the right thickness, the base has to be properly compacted, and the surface has to be finished before it sets. Timing is everything, and our crew has poured enough walkways and sidewalks across Aiken to know exactly how to handle the local conditions.

We also pay close attention to drainage. A walkway that pools water after a rainstorm is not just annoying. It can become a safety hazard and damage the concrete over time. We grade every surface so water flows away from your home and off the walkway.

If you are looking to connect your walkway to a new set of concrete steps or tie it into your driveway, we can handle the whole project as one job. That way everything matches and the transitions are smooth. Contact us today to get a free quote for your walkway or flatwork project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most residential sidewalks are 3 to 4 feet wide, which provides enough room for one person to walk comfortably. If you want two people to walk side by side, we recommend 4 to 5 feet. For commercial properties, ADA requirements typically call for a minimum of 5 feet. We will help you choose the right width based on your needs and local codes.

A standard residential walkway is poured at 4 inches thick, which is plenty for foot traffic. If the walkway will carry any vehicle traffic, such as a driveway crossover, we increase the thickness to 5 or 6 inches with added reinforcement. We always recommend the right thickness for your specific use to make sure it holds up over time.

Absolutely. We offer brushed finishes for a classic look, stamped patterns for a decorative touch, and exposed aggregate for a natural, textured surface. Decorative borders are also a popular way to dress up a standard walkway without the full cost of a stamped surface. We will bring samples so you can see your options before we start.
