A cracked, uneven, or sunken sidewalk is more than an eyesore. It is a liability. Tripping hazards cause falls, injuries, and lawsuits. Municipalities issue violation notices. Homebuyers discount their offers.
At ACC Construction LLC, we have been installing, repairing, and replacing sidewalks across Colorado for over 25 years. We are a licensed, insured, and bonded residential general contractor based in Wheat Ridge.
We understand exactly how Colorado’s freeze-thaw cycles and expansive clay soils heave and crack concrete walkways. We know the specific slope requirements (1% to 2% for drainage). And we build sidewalks that stay level, drain properly, and comply with all local codes.
Brand new walkways for new construction, landscaping projects, or connecting existing pathways. We handle grading, forming, pouring, and finishing.
Remove old, cracked, or settled concrete. Properly prepare the sub-base. Pour new, reinforced concrete that stays level.
For minor cracking, spalling, or edge damage. We evaluate whether repair is viable or replacement is the better long-term solution.
Grinding down raised edges (1/2 inch or more) or replacing sunken sections. ADA-compliant solutions for residential and commercial properties.
Many Colorado cities hold homeowners responsible for the public sidewalk in front of their property. We handle city permits, inspections, and code-compliant repairs.
Stamped, colored, or exposed aggregate finishes for garden paths, pool surrounds, and landscape walkways.
| Problem | What Causes It | ACC Construction Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Heaving (Upward Movement) | Freeze-thaw cycles push concrete upward. Expansive clay soils swell when wet. | 4–6 inches of compacted gravel base + proper drainage + control joints. |
| Settling (Downward Movement) | Poorly compacted soil compresses under weight. Erosion washes away base material. | Deep excavation + mechanical compaction + reinforced concrete (rebar or mesh). |
| Cracking | No control joints. Inadequate reinforcement. Improper concrete mix. | Control joints every 4–6 feet + rebar or fiber mesh + low water-to-cement ratio. |
| Scaling / Spalling | De-icing salts damage poorly cured concrete. Air entrainment failure. | Proper curing (minimum 7 days) + air-entrained concrete + sealing recommendation. |
| Poor Drainage | Sidewalk slopes toward house or street creates puddles and ice hazards. | Precision grading to 1–2% slope away from structures. |
| Tree Root Damage | Roots grow under sidewalk, lifting and cracking concrete. | Root barriers + proper base depth + consideration of tree removal or rerouting. |
Our 25+ years of local experience means we build sidewalks that survive Colorado winters.
| Phase | What Happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Free Consultation | Call (720) 298-7777 or email leonholley45@gmail.com. We discuss your sidewalk concerns and goals. |
| 2. On-Site Evaluation | We inspect existing sidewalk (if any). Check for trip hazards, drainage issues, base failure, and tree root damage. |
| 3. Written Estimate | Line-item quote including demolition (if needed), base preparation, materials, reinforcement, pouring, finishing, and cleanup. |
| 4. Permitting | As a licensed contractor, we pull all required city/county permits. For public sidewalks, we handle the city’s inspection process. |
| 5. Demolition & Removal | We remove old concrete and haul it away. Excavate to proper depth (typically 8–10 inches total). |
| 6. Base Installation | 4–6 inches of compacted Class 5 gravel. Mechanically compacted in lifts. This prevents settling. |
| 7. Forming & Reinforcement | Wood forms installed at correct slope. Rebar or wire mesh placed. |
| 8. Pouring & Finishing | Air-entrained concrete poured, leveled, floated, and finished to specification (broom finish for slip resistance). |
| 9. Control Joint Cutting | Joints cut every 4–6 feet to control where cracking occurs. |
| 10. Curing | Proper curing covered. Minimum 7 days for full strength. |
| 11. Final Walkthrough | You inspect. We ensure proper slope, smooth finish, and no trip hazards. |
| Type | Best For | Typical Width | Typical Thickness |
