Concrete Sidewalks for Redmond properties
There are two kinds of sidewalk jobs: the public sidewalk along the street, which is right-of-way work with City permits and standards, and walkways on your own property, which are ordinary flatwork. In Seattle, the owner of the lot next to the sidewalk is generally responsible for keeping it in repair, so a lifted panel by your street tree is usually yours to fix.
1970s through 2000s subdivisions, townhomes, and new construction around downtown and Overlake. We work across Education Hill, Grass Lawn, Overlake, Idylwood, Bear Creek, Willows/Rose Hill, Redmond Ridge and downtown.
Sidewalk panel replacement
Removing heaved or broken panels and pouring new ones to City standards.
Trip hazard repair
Grinding small offsets or replacing badly lifted panels.
Tree root damage
Replacing panels around street trees, working with the City’s tree rules.
Redmond conditions that affect your sidewalk
Sidewalks and the right-of-way
Redmond requires a Right-of-Way Use Permit for work that modifies infrastructure in the right-of-way, including sidewalks, so driveway aprons and walks along the street need that permit.
Tree roots
Subdivision street trees and big Douglas firs at lot edges are behind a lot of lifted walks and cracked driveway panels.
Homes and existing concrete
1970s through 2000s subdivisions, townhomes, and new construction around downtown and Overlake.

Typical market ranges, not a quote from Seattle Concrete Contractors. These are ranges other Seattle-area concrete contractors publish for this work (Seattle Concrete (seattleconcrete.com) service pages, checked November 2026). Your price depends on size, access, removal, base work, finish and permits, and on conditions at your Redmond property. We give a written quote after we understand the job.
Concrete Sidewalks in Redmond: quick answers
Am I responsible for the sidewalk in front of my house?
In Seattle, generally yes: the adjacent property owner is responsible for keeping the sidewalk in repair.
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Redmond?
Ground-level patios and walks are often exempt, but retaining walls over 4 ft from the bottom of the footing and anything in the right-of-way, such as sidewalks and driveway aprons, need permits. Redmond’s Development Services Center can confirm for your lot.
