Concrete Sidewalks for Tukwila 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.
Older and mid-century homes in Foster, Allentown and Riverton, newer homes on the hills, and commercial property around Southcenter. We work across Foster, Allentown, Riverton, Duwamish, McMicken Heights, Cascade View, Thorndyke and the Southcenter area.
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.
