Sidewalk questions, answered

Do I need a permit?

Yes. Sidewalks in the public right-of-way require a town permit and inspection. We pull all permits and coordinate with town DPW.

Concrete or paver for residential sidewalks?

Concrete is faster and cheaper. Paver looks better and lasts longer. Both meet town spec when installed correctly.

Will my new sidewalk crack?

Saw-cut control joints direct cracking to predictable lines. With proper base prep, you won't see random cracks for 20+ years.
