Walkways should improve access — not create trip hazards.
A cracked walkway in Hilltop or an uneven sidewalk near a Wilmington business changes how people move through the property. For homeowners, it hurts curb appeal. For commercial owners and HOAs, it can become liability. Tri-County installs concrete walkways and sidewalks across Wilmington with proper finish, thickness, and permit coordination.
Wilmington properties see heavy foot traffic, tight setbacks, and older concrete that has moved through decades of freeze-thaw cycles. We install private walkways from driveway to front door, side-yard access paths, back patio connections, business sidewalks, curb cuts, ADA ramps, and replacement sections for HOAs or property managers.
Residential walkways are usually poured 3–4 inches thick. Commercial sidewalks are commonly 4–6 inches thick and may require ADA-compliant slope, tactile warning pads, broom finish, and inspection. Broom finish is standard for traction, especially on sloped access routes or places where wet leaves collect near Brandywine Creek and Rockford Park.
The process starts with a site walk to decide width, path, drainage, and whether permits are needed. A private walkway on your property is different from a public-facing sidewalk in the right-of-way, where DelDOT or Wilmington municipal requirements can apply. We form straight runs, curves, and angles with flexible forms so the concrete fits the property instead of forcing a generic path. Most walkways should be at least 36 inches wide, with 48 inches preferred for a primary entrance and 60 inches for ADA public access.
