Concrete Walkways & Stairs Okotoks

Concrete gives homeowners so many options now for walkways and stairs. Whether you are looking to form a first impression with a stamped walkway and custom stairs leading up to your front door, or a clean and simple broomed finish walkway along the side of your home, concrete is one of the most versatile products.

In climates such as ours, people often favour a stamped concrete that mimics the look of cobblestone or rock but won't shift over time like pavers or rock tend to do. Stairs alongside your house and pathways through your backyard can now form part of your landscape design with the colour, shape and finish that work to enhance the look of your landscape.

Some things to consider when choosing a concrete finish for pathways and stairs is winter shoveling, downspouts and maintenance. For pathways and stairs that will be used year-round, choose a finish that is fairly smooth and can be shoveled easily.

Talk to us about options for diverting water such as underground weeping tile or troughs so that water is being diverted from the house across your walkway in the most practical and aesthetic way possible. Also, keep in mind that with an exposed or stamped finish on high tread areas, pathways and stairs will will need to be sealed every few years to maintain their vibrant colour.
