Sidewalk replacement that meets City of Cape Girardeau and Jackson right-of-way specifications — permits included.
Public sidewalks come with specific width, slope, and material requirements that private walkways don't — and freeze-thaw heaving makes sidewalk trip hazards a recurring issue throughout Cape Girardeau's older neighborhoods.
Sidewalks in the public right-of-way generally need to meet the City's minimum width, thickness, and ADA slope requirements, and replacement work typically requires a permit and inspection. We're familiar with these specifications for both Cape Girardeau and Jackson, and we handle the permit paperwork so you don't have to track down city requirements yourself.
For walkways entirely on your own property — from the driveway to the front door, through a backyard, or connecting to a patio — there's more flexibility on width, shape, and finish. We can match an existing broom finish or add a stamped or exposed aggregate accent to tie into a patio.
Freeze-thaw cycling and tree root intrusion are the two most common causes of sidewalk panels heaving unevenly in Cape Girardeau's established neighborhoods. A raised panel is both a liability and, on public sidewalks, something the city may cite you to fix. We can often replace just the affected panels rather than the full run.
Free assessment — we'll tell you if a panel repair is enough.
