Concrete Sidewalk

For most Raleigh, North Carolina home buyers, sidewalks and walkways are an afterthought. But when a lot of rain falls or your family tracks mud into the house, nothing seems more necessary than a well-constructed sidewalk. But few realize the true beauty and property enhancement that concrete sidewalks can provide. Sidewalks add curb appeal and make any home and landscaping more inviting.

TrulyHome Concrete in Raleigh offers more than 12 years' experience in concrete sidewalk construction. We offer custom sidewalk design and an almost unlimited range of finishes, stamped concrete patterns, colors, borders and other accents. With our professionals' help, you can enjoy easier access to your home and gardens while also enjoying a level of creative expression. Of course, if you prefer plain concrete walkways, TrulyHome can certainly install those to your great satisfaction. If you have existing walkways, we can also resurface previously installed concrete to improve its appearance.

Stamped Concrete Walkways

Stamped concrete, also referred to as textured or imprinted, replicates other natural materials like flagstone, slate, brick, tile and wood. But stamped concrete is more durable, lower maintenance and less expensive. You can expect your concrete sidewalks to last decades. With an almost unlimited variety of pattern, color and finish combinations, you can make your concrete walkways unique, match them to the surrounding environment or coordinate the pattern with your home's architecture.

Whether your home is modern, traditional or even historic in design, TrulyHome Concrete can help you find the right pattern, texture and color for your concrete sidewalk. Some examples of our suggestions include:

• Seamless textures, cut stones and wood planks for modern architecture
• Brick, cobblestone or wood patterns in stamped concrete for traditional home styling
• European fan, slate and cobblestone designs for Old World architecture

Choosing Your Concrete Sidewalk Colors

When you thought about having concrete sidewalks installed at your home or other property, did you know that you would be choosing from a wide range of concrete colors? Most people do not expect this. But color plays a major role in how your concrete walkway accents your home design and adds to its curb appeal. For example, if you choose stamped concrete for your walkways to look like stone, brick or wood, you likely want natural-looking coloration.

TrulyHome Concrete can help you pick your ideal colors based on your property's architectural elements and natural surroundings. You can choose from the most commonly used earth tones or get a little more creative. The final color depends on the look you want to achieve.

The colors and finishes in highest demand for concrete sidewalks include:

• Grays ranging from light tones to dark charcoal for stamped concrete
• Light tans to dark walnut for brown stamped concrete
• Terra cotta, mahogany and red for stamped concrete, such as for brick or tile patterns

TrulyHome Concrete can also apply multiple colors for tonal variations or antiqued appearance in your concrete sidewalk. We also frequently use acid stains, layered dyes, water-based stains and tinted release agents to achieve specific looks. 

How long do concrete sidewalks last?

We have all happened upon broken or uneven concrete sidewalks at some point in our lives. Sometimes these sidewalks are not properly constructed, thus leading to the damage. Some contractors use the wrong materials, improper design or poor construction techniques. In those cases, sidewalks only last several years. But TrulyHome Concrete walkways can last decades when properly maintained. 

At TrulyHome Concrete, we take exceptional care to ensure you receive only the highest quality of concrete sidewalk installation. We rely on more than 12 years of industry experience in our craftsmanship. We also use only quality materials, proper design and construction that meets the highest standards of our field.

Hiring the right people to install your concrete sidewalk is important to you. This is also important to us. This is why TrulyHome Concrete only employs people who live up to our high standards. You can see this is how we operate by looking at our exceptional customer reviews. 

To start your installation, we first evaluate the grounds on which we will construct your sidewalks. All soils are not the same. Some react more to moisture than others, just as temperature changes affect soil types differently. These reactions can affect how the ground bears the load of your sidewalk. This investigation can make the difference between sidewalk stability or damages like cracking and buckling.

Other environmental elements affecting your new sidewalk include tree roots. These roots commonly grown under and damage sidewalks. A simple tree root can make your walkway treacherous. Your TrulyHome Concrete installer takes your trees into consideration when planning the concrete sidewalk placement. After all, you want your sidewalks to last as many years as possible.
