Walkway & Sidewalk Coatings
Entries, paths, and steps finished with a high-grip texture, tying the approach to the house into the same finish as the patio or driveway.
- Aggressive texture where slips actually happen: steps and entries
- Matches the patio or driveway finish for a continuous look
- Covers pitting and surface spalling on older paths
- Small enough footprint to add onto a larger job cheaply
Commonly used for: Front entries, Side paths, Steps and landings
What to Expect
Walkways are a safety surface first and a good-looking one second. Wet leaves and Northwest drizzle make smooth concrete slick, so every walkway we coat gets plenty of texture. They also pair well with a patio or driveway job, since running the same finish across both makes the whole approach look like one piece.
Every one of these is built the same way: grind the slab back to bare concrete, lay a moisture-vapor barrier, then the epoxy base coat, then a polyaspartic topcoat over the top. More on how we build a floor.
Finishes That Suit It
Chip Flake
Color flakes broadcast into the wet base coat, then sealed under a clear topcoat. Hides dust, tire marks, and small debris better than anything else we install.
Quartz
Colored quartz broadcast into the resin for a dense, stone-like texture. The most slip-resistant option, which is why it goes outside most often.
Questions About Walkway & Sidewalk Coatings
Can you coat steps too?
Yes. Steps and landings get the same prep and build as the path, and the treads get the most texture, since that is where people slip.
Is it worth coating only a walkway?
It can be, especially at an entry that stays wet or already has a slip problem. Most walkway work gets added onto a patio or driveway job, though, since the equipment is already on site and the finishes can match.
Other Concrete We Finish
Garages
The surface we coat most. Ground down to bare concrete, sealed, and topcoated so hot tires, jack stands, and dropped tools do not take it apart.
Learn morePatios
Outdoor concrete finished with texture for grip and a polyaspartic topcoat that holds its color in the sun.
Learn moreBasements
A sealed, easy-to-clean floor for below-grade space, with the moisture testing that basements specifically need before anything goes down.
Learn moreDriveways
Full vehicle weight, full sun, full weather. Driveways get the most durable build we install, with texture for traction on any slope.
Learn moreConcrete Polishing
No coating at all. The slab itself is densified and mechanically polished through progressive diamond grits until the concrete is the finished floor.
