Why Choose Us for Your Concrete Walkway Project?
Built for Fairfax County Soil & Weather
Northern Virginia’s clay soil and freeze-thaw cycles can cause walkways to crack, sink, or become uneven if not installed correctly.
We prevent these issues by focusing on:
- Proper excavation and base preparation
- Compacted subgrade for stability
- Correct slope for drainage
- Control joints to limit cracking
Our walkways are designed to stay safe, level, and durable year after year.

What Our Clients Are Saying
We hired Concrete Sergeant to replace our crumbling front walkway, and the results are incredible. From the first consultation, they were prompt, honest, and super knowledgeable about drainage and layout. The finished walkway is flawless—and the broom finish gives it a clean, professional look that really boosted our curb appeal. You can tell these guys take pride in their work.
Karen T., Edgewater, MD
" I’m a stickler for quality, and Concrete Sergeant didn’t disappoint. The team showed up on time, communicated clearly, and executed every step exactly as described. We went with stamped concrete for our garden path and it turned out beautifully. It looks like natural stone but is way easier to maintain. I’d recommend them to anyone looking for long-lasting, good-looking walkways."
James R., Severna Park, MD
