Walkway construction in Wichita Falls TX - a steady path for everyone in the house
If your path is cracked, sunken or muddy after rain, we'll build a firm walk that's easy on feet and wheels.
What goes into building a new walkway in Wichita Falls?
Walkway construction in Wichita Falls is building a path from your driveway, street or back door with a firm, steady surface, usually concrete, pavers or stone, so you can walk it in the rain or after dark without watching every step.
Most folks call because the old walk has cracked, sunk or washed out, or because there's never been a real path and everybody cuts across the grass. The price mostly turns on how long and wide the walk is, the surface you pick and how much old walk has to come out, and the schedule turns on the material and on any city permit, which we handle when the job needs one. If you'd like a low wall or planter beside it, we also do brick wall installation. I'll give you your own figure in a written estimate once I've seen the yard.
How do you know it's time for a new walkway?
Most people don't think about a walk until it trips somebody or turns to mud. These are the things I hear about most when folks call, and what each one usually tells me.
Slabs that have sunk or lifted at the joints catch toes and usually mean the walk has shifted.
Cracks that get wider every year usually mean the walk is breaking up, not just showing its age.
Water that sits on the walk after rain means the surface is low and has nowhere to drain.
Gravel kicked into the grass and bare ruts mean the path was never held firmly in place.
A walker, wheelchair or stroller that bumps the whole way means the surface is too rough to roll.
A worn dirt trail across the lawn means everyone wants a path there and nobody built one.
If someone has already tripped, or the walk is getting hard to use with a walker or chair, call us now instead of waiting for it to get worse.
What happens when you call about a walkway in Wichita Falls?
Here's how a walkway job runs with us, from the first call to the day we walk the finished path together. I'm the one you'll see at every step.
Call or send the form
Call (940) 298-1133 or send the form, and I'll set up a time to come out. It helps to know the walk's rough length and width and the surface you're leaning toward.
Look at the path together
I walk the spot with you, ask who uses it and how, and talk through surfaces that suit your household. You get a written estimate with the price and a plain answer on what the job really needs, so nothing about the cost surprises you later.
Handle paperwork and build it
Once you say go, we take care of any city paperwork the job calls for, then dig out, set the edges and lay the surface. I work alongside our crew the whole time, so the person who quoted it is the one building it.
Walk the finished path together
We clean up and walk the new path with you before we call it finished, so you can try it on foot or on wheels. The work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.

Walkway surfaces and how to pick one
Concrete and other paved surfaces give you firm, steady footing more reliably than loose material, so a paved walk is the pick if you want less upkeep. Wood and other materials can give a firm surface too. If you'd like the walk to match stone already on the house, we lay it with our stone masonry work, and we'll talk about how smooth to keep it so wheels roll easily.
If water sheets across your yard after a storm, permeable paving is one option worth a look. Pervious concrete, pervious asphalt and permeable interlocking concrete pavers all let water through to a gravel layer underneath that holds it and carries the walk. In Texas A&M AgriLife tests, grass pavers, permeable pavers, gravel pavers and porous concrete cut average runoff by 73% to 85% compared with the control surface.
Here in Wichita Falls, the city follows the North Central Texas public works standards for construction, along with its own standard details, and those include one for sidewalks and one for a reinforced concrete retaining wall built as part of a sidewalk. When your walk ties into the city sidewalk or needs a short wall on a slope, those details are what we check first. We're based in Wichita Falls and do the same work in Burkburnett, Iowa Park and the cities around them.
Walkway questions we hear most in Wichita Falls
How much does a new concrete walkway cost in Wichita Falls?
A new concrete walk, installed, usually runs about $6 to $15 per square foot, and that's a national figure, not our price. Where yours lands depends on the length and width, the surface you pick and how much old walk has to come out. Your written estimate gives you the real number for your yard.
Is gravel a good choice for a walkway?
Gravel can work, but only when it's held in place with a binder, packed down hard or treated some other way, because loose gravel scatters, shifts and keeps needing attention. If gravel's what you like, we firm it up so it stays put underfoot.
What is the best walkway surface for a wheelchair or walker?
A smooth paved surface such as concrete is usually the easiest to roll across. Federal accessibility guidance notes that rough surfaces like cobblestones and Belgian blocks can be hard, and sometimes painful, to cross with a wheelchair or other wheeled aid because of the vibration. We'll help you pick something that looks right and still rolls easily for whoever in the house is on wheels.
Who issues permits for a walkway in Wichita Falls?
The city's Building Inspections office issues permits, and the city says construction work there has to follow city codes and carry the right permits and licenses. When your walk needs a permit, we take care of the application and line up the inspections with the office, and we'll go over it with you at the estimate.
How do I make a walkway less slippery?
A finish added to make the surface less slippery does the job, but it may need ongoing upkeep or a fresh coat now and then, so plan on that over the years. At the estimate I'll tell you which finish fits your walk and what keeping it up looks like.
How do I check a walkway contractor in Wichita Falls?
Start by asking whether they're registered with the city, since Building Inspections licenses and registers contractors. We're fully licensed and insured, we've been at this since 2017, and I come out to every job myself, give the estimate and work alongside our crew, so you know who's building your walk.
Masonry work that goes well with a new walk
Brick wall installation
A low brick wall along the walk can hold back a flower bed or mark the yard's edge, and we match the brick already on your house.
Stone masonry
If you'd like steps, edging or a landing in natural stone where the walk meets the porch, our stone work ties it into the rest of the yard.
