Commercial concrete sidewalks provide essential pedestrian infrastructure for retail centers, office complexes, and municipal developments across Dallas-Fort Worth. Property owners and developers need sidewalk construction that meets ADA compliance, withstands Texas weather extremes, and delivers decades of service with minimal maintenance.
As a turnkey concrete contractor, we handle complete sidewalk packages from permitting through final inspection. Our scope includes excavation, base preparation, concrete placement, proper grading for drainage, and coordination with city accessibility inspectors to ensure full ADA compliance.
ADA requirements are non-negotiable for commercial sidewalks. We ensure proper slopes, cross-slope specifications, detectable warning surfaces at crossings, and compliant ramp construction throughout your pedestrian network. All work meets current accessibility standards and local building codes.
For North Texas climate conditions, proper joint spacing and reinforcement prevent cracking from temperature cycles and soil movement. We design expansion joints, install control joints at appropriate intervals, and specify reinforcement that accommodates our region's challenging conditions.
Property owners and developers work directly with our project managers who coordinate all city permits, utility coordination, and inspection requirements. One contract covers your complete sidewalk scope with full accountability for ADA compliance and long-term performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What sidewalk thickness do you recommend for commercial applications?
- Commercial sidewalks typically require 5-6 inches of concrete with proper reinforcement. High-traffic retail areas or locations accommodating service vehicles may require 6-8 inches. We design thickness based on your specific use requirements.
- Do you ensure ADA compliance for commercial sidewalks?
- Yes, all our sidewalk work meets ADA requirements including proper slopes, cross-slopes, detectable warning surfaces, and ramp specifications. We coordinate with city accessibility inspectors to ensure compliance throughout the project.
- Can you match existing sidewalk elevations and tie-ins?
- Yes, we coordinate sidewalk elevations with existing infrastructure, building entries, and drainage systems. Proper grading ensures ADA-compliant transitions while maintaining site drainage requirements.
- What permits are required for commercial sidewalk construction?
- Sidewalk construction typically requires right-of-way permits, ADA compliance documentation, and coordination with city engineering departments. We handle all permitting and inspection coordination as part of our turnkey service.
