Types of Concrete Walkways We Offer
We provide a diverse selection of walkway styles designed to match the specific functional and aesthetic requirements of your property. Our team helps you select the perfect finish to ensure your new paths blend seamlessly with your existing architecture and landscape.
Standard Broom Finished Walkways
The textured finish on these pathways gives the necessary slip-resistance needed in our rainy climate. They are ideal for high traffic areas, around pools, and anywhere safety is most important to your family.
Stamped Concrete Paths
Using molds to replicate coral rock or keystone, we can create a pathway with an original look and feel of natural stone at a fraction of the cost of actual stone.
Exposed Aggregate Walkways
Creating a rougher textured surface by exposing the aggregate (stones & pebbles) in the concrete, these pathways look nice with tropical landscaping and have good traction when it rains.
Colored Concrete Paths
With custom colored mixes and UV-resistant colorants, our crews can make sure that your pathways remain colorful despite the harsh Southern sun. Choose from many different colors to match or enhance the exterior colors of your house.
Concrete Garden Paths
We will create winding or straight pathways to lead your guests through your beautiful private outdoor space. Your pathways will be a safe and easy path for your guests to follow through your yard and protect your lawn and flowers.
Concrete Paths and Walkways Design: Blending Form and Function
Our design process focuses on creating paths that are both beautiful and practical for your property. We integrate several key factors to ensure your new walkways provide long-term value and enhance your outdoor living experience.
- Architectural Style: In developing these walkways, we take into account several important elements. First, we consider your home’s architectural style, which is then matched with the tropical feel of Miami gardens. In doing this, we can make sure that your new concrete walkways blend seamlessly into your existing property and do not appear as if they were added later.
- Landscaping Integration: Next, we review your current landscaping to see how it can be incorporated into your new pathway design. We will identify where we can add paths to draw attention to your favorite plants while at the same time helping protect your lawn from foot traffic.
- Traffic Flow: We also evaluate your property’s natural traffic flow and desired use of your outdoor spaces to develop a design that allows for the most efficient placement of your pathways: The development of your pathways should allow your guests and residents to move comfortably and logically through your outdoor spaces.
- Safety and Accessibility: Every pathway is designed with safety and accessibility in mind. Slip-resistant surfaces are implemented to ensure safe passage during wet weather conditions. In addition to safety and accessibility, our pathways are designed to accommodate all family members and visitors’ comfort levels, regardless of the weather.
- Proper Drainage: Finally, we incorporate proper grading and drainage systems to allow for the excess rain associated with the Florida climate to be safely diverted away from your walkways. By properly draining your walkways and ensuring they remain stable, we help to preserve the integrity of your entire surrounding landscape.
Concrete Paths and Walkways Around House
We create cohesive designs that connect various areas of your property to improve both beauty and functionality. Our team ensures that every path integrates perfectly with your existing structures to provide a unified look for your entire home.
Front Entrance Walkways
Our front entrance walkway designs are designed to welcome your guests attractively and convey a professional image when they visit your home. Each of our front entrance walkways is wide enough to allow your guests to comfortably pass and have high quality materials that greatly enhance your home’s curb appeal.
Side Yard Access
Our side yard access paths include proper drainage to eliminate water buildup around your home’s base. Our side yard access paths turn a cramped and possibly muddy area into a clean, accessible route for hauling trash cans and other equipment.
Backyard Patio Connections
Our backyard patio connections are designed to extend your indoor living space into your outdoor living space. They will connect your back door to outdoor entertaining and/or kitchen areas to help create a smooth transition from indoors to outdoors as you entertain and relax.
Pool Surrounds
Our pool surround designs emphasize both safety and style, using heat-resistant and slip-resistant textured concrete. We design them so they can be safely walked on barefoot and also provide a long-lasting area that can withstand the constant presence of moisture and pool chemicals.
Our Concrete Path and Walkway Construction Process
We follow a rigorous and transparent construction process to ensure that every walkway we build meets our high standards for quality and longevity. Our team manages every detail from the initial consultation to the final cleanup so that you can enjoy a stress-free experience.
- Site Assessment and Planning: At this point, we assess the unique features of your property to determine if there could be any issues with the soil or any existing structures on your property. In addition to taking the exact dimensions and location of underground utility lines, we also evaluate the site to develop a construction plan that is both safe and accurate.
- Custom Design: The next phase involves working with you to develop a design that incorporates your personality and the specific environmental conditions of Miami Gardens. We will work with you to choose the best color(s) and texture(s) that fit your home and landscaping.
- Ground Preparation and Grading: Next, we will excavate and grade your site to allow for adequate drainage and a solid foundation for the new concrete. We will compact the subgrade to prevent any future settlement or cracking, and this will help to keep your path and walkway at a consistent elevation.
- Setting Forms: Following grading and ground preparation, we will set up your forms. These forms will serve as a template to guide the placement of the concrete, and will give your walkway and/or path a clean and finished look.
- Installing Reinforcement: To add strength to your walkway and to resist the movement of the earth and the effects of Florida’s climate, we will add either steel rebar or wire mesh to your walkway. The added reinforcement will extend the life of your walkway by helping to distribute the weight evenly and to help maintain the structure against the elements.
- Pouring Concrete & Finishing: After preparing the site and installing the reinforcement, we will pour high-quality, weather-resistant mixtures of concrete that are designed to perform well in extreme heat and humidity. Once the concrete has been poured, we will utilize our experienced finishers to apply the desired texture to your walkway while providing the necessary traction and safety features.
- Curing and Sealing: Throughout the curing process, we will closely monitor the condition of the concrete to ensure it reaches its full strength before it dries out too much due to excessive exposure to sunlight. Once the curing process is complete, we will seal your walkway with a high-quality sealer to protect your investment from water damage and UV degradation.
Concrete Paths and Walkways for Miami Gardens' Landscape Design
We work with you to create custom paths that specifically enhance the beauty and flow of your tropical outdoor space. Our design team focuses on integrating each walkway seamlessly with your existing foliage to create a cohesive and inviting environment.
Curved Walkways
Curved pathways are designed to create an organic flow of movement by winding through your lush tropical plants. The smooth curves of these pathways mimic the curves of natural formations and add a soothing element to your home garden retreats.
Wide Paths
We build wider pathways so you can easily move around your garden, and bring heavy equipment (or have many people walking at once) without any problem. Wider pathways are perfect for high-traffic areas, because they provide both function and accessibility for all members of your family.
NarrowPaths
Narrower pathways are great for more intimate garden strolls through your variety of tropical plants. They also provide a romantic and secluded feel for your private walks, while making the most of the space you have for planting flowers and trees.
Integrated Lighting
In addition to creating a safe route through your yard at night, we also offer lighted pathways. We can install low-voltage lighting directly into or adjacent to the pathway to illuminate the path and accentuate the features of your landscaping.

FAQs About Concrete Paths and Walkways in Miami Gardens, FL
The width of a concrete walkway depends on its purpose and location:
- Main entrance walkways: 4-6 feet wide for a grand entrance
- Garden paths: 2-3 feet wide for intimate strolls
- Side yard access paths: 3-4 feet wide for comfortable passage
- Pool area walkways: 4-5 feet wide for safety and comfort
In Miami Gardens, we often recommend slightly wider paths to accommodate lush landscaping and create an open, airy feel. We’ll help you determine the ideal width based on your specific needs, space constraints, and local building codes.
Proper drainage is crucial in Miami Gardens to prevent water accumulation and potential slip hazards. We employ several techniques:
- Slight slope: We design paths with a gentle slope (about 1/8 inch per foot) away from structures
- Textured finishes: Broom finishes or stamped patterns provide better traction when wet
- Permeable options: For areas prone to flooding, we offer permeable concrete solutions
- Strategic grading: We ensure the surrounding landscape directs water away from walkways
- Drain installation: In some cases, we incorporate linear drains along the edges of walkways
Our designs always consider Miami’s heavy rainfall to ensure your paths remain safe and functional year-round.
Miami’s tropical vegetation can pose challenges for concrete walkways. We use several strategies to protect against root damage:
- Root barriers: Installing physical barriers along the path to deflect root growth
- Reinforced concrete: Using fiber or rebar reinforcement to increase the concrete’s strength
- Flexible joints: Incorporating expansion joints to allow for some movement
- Proper plant selection: Advising on landscaping choices that are less likely to cause root issues
- Regular maintenance: Recommending periodic inspections to catch and address any developing issues early
By combining these methods, we create beautiful pathways that coexist harmoniously with Miami Gardens’ lush landscape.
