Sidewalks & Driveways

Concrete Sidewalks and Driveways

Sidewalks and driveway concrete take more abuse than anything else on a property: foot traffic, vehicle weight, road salt and a full northern Illinois winter every year. When a section lifts or cracks apart it becomes a trip hazard and a drainage problem at the same time. Panther pours new walks and driveway sections, and replaces failed flatwork, with the base and the pitch set so the new work does not repeat the old problem.

Why Choose Us

Flatwork That Holds Up

Built for Vehicle Weight

Driveway concrete is specified for what actually drives on it, not poured at sidewalk thickness.

Drains Away From the House

A walk pitched the wrong way sends water at the foundation every time it rains. Pitch gets set deliberately.

Clean Removal

Old failed concrete broken out and hauled off before the new base goes in.

Level Transitions

New work tied into existing walks, aprons and steps without a lip to catch a toe.

Our Process

Our Process

1

Assess

We look at why the existing concrete failed so the replacement does not fail the same way.

2

Remove and Prep

Break out the old slab, haul it off, then excavate and compact a proper base.

3

Form and Pour

Forms set to line and pitch, reinforcement placed, concrete poured and finished.

4

Joint and Clean Up

Control joints cut, site cleaned, and the pour left to cure before use.
