BGC Construction pours concrete walkways for homes in Homeland and across western Riverside County. A job can be the front walk from the driveway to the door. It can be a side-yard path out to the gate, or a pad where the trash cans sit. Concrete steps and a landing at the door are part of the same work.
Walkways are part of the flatwork we pour as a concrete contractor in Homeland. A walk can go in on its own or with a new concrete driveway out front. The work is residential, on your own property. Call or text (951) 483-4138, and we look at the job and put the quote in writing.

The front walk carries people from the driveway to the door, so it gets the most use. A side-yard path gives you a firm route to the gate on trash day. Out back, a path can tie the house to a backyard patio or a shed.
A walk can run straight or curve around a planter. A front walk for two people side by side runs wider than a side-yard path. A small pad by the gate gives the trash cans a level place to sit.
Every one of these sits on your side of the property line. The sidewalk at the street is public, and work there needs a permit from the agency that owns the road.
A front door often sits a step or two above the yard, so the walk ends at concrete steps. A stoop gives you a flat place to stand while the door opens. Steps can share the walk's broom finish, or both can be stamped concrete.
Riverside County's inspection guide for single-family homes spells out the step rules. A riser can be no taller than 7 3/4 inches, and a tread no less than 10 inches deep. Within one flight, risers and treads can vary by 3/8 inch at most. A stair with four or more risers needs at least one handrail.
Where the walk meets the steps or the driveway, an isolation joint lets each piece move on its own. Your building office has the final word on steps at your address.
California law requires whoever digs to contact DigAlert at least two working days before the dig. The utility marks usually stop at the meters. Private lines, like a sprinkler line or a gas line to a grill, are yours to point out.
A walk needs firm, compacted ground under it and forms that set its height and slope. A walk beside the house needs a slope that sends rain away from the wall. Control joints split the walk into panels, so drying cracks form in the joints. The ready-mixed concrete industry's joint guide says a panel should run no longer than 1.5 times its width.
Summers around Homeland are hot and dry. NOAA normals for the Hemet and Lake Elsinore stations put July and August highs in the mid to upper 90s. Heat and dry wind pull water out of fresh concrete fast, so the surface can crack before it sets. The industry's hot-weather guide says to dampen the ground first and, when possible, skip the hottest hours for the pour.
