Concrete sidewalks done with F.R. Concrete Company are more than just a way to get wherever it is you’re going—they can provide a much needed curb appeal to homes and buildings, and they are on a fast track to becoming a point of artistic expression, by way of a multitude of decorative concrete sidewalk options and ideas.
Keep in mind that while having a concrete sidewalk or walkway poured does require an up front investment and installation, it often improves the overall value and resale potential of your home or business. Plus F.R. Concrete Co. concrete lasts for years, and requires very little maintenance over the years, comparably, to less expensive materials and paving options used by other concrete sidewalk companies. Many property owners will ask: beyond a concrete sidewalk’s aesthetic attributes and curb appeal, is concrete really a material I can live with for, long term? If a client is planning on selling their home or business, there is no way to predict what future buyers will want, however a concrete sidewalk will always be a winner for durability, fiscal aspects, property value, and much more.
The cost of a concrete sidewalk or walkway can vary widely, just depending on its size and finish. Most Washington homeowners pay between $6 and $12 per square foot for installation of a new concrete sidewalk or walkway. Pricing can go beyond this, if significant grading is required or a complex decorative finish is requested by our clients. To get a total idea of costs for installation from F.R. Concrete Co., we’d take a few steps to ensure you’d get the best rate possible—measure and note the dimensions of the area, multiply the length and width to find the square footage, and then multiply that by the price per square foot. We do all the hard work for you!
F.R. Concrete Company has been the choice for designers across Washington state, and decorative concrete sidewalks are popping up at retail stores, industrial businesses, trendy restaurants, offices and homes everywhere! Thanks to the versatility of concrete sidewalks and the many decorative techniques used by concrete sidewalk companies, the options for making your concrete sidewalk unique and personalized are endless. The key to the lasting beauty of a decorative concrete sidewalk is continuous maintenance. Maintenance is required for the concrete sidewalk to retain its color, texture and integrity. While a plain gray concrete sidewalk is still the most often surface installed by most concrete sidewalk companies, (as seen on most concrete sidewalks,) there are numerous decorative concrete alternatives to dress it up, and provide a unique flair to our work at hand.
Concrete sidewalks exposed to heavier foot traffic as well as harsh weather conditions are particularly vulnerable to premature wear and deterioration. For basic routine maintenance of your concrete sidewalk installed by F.R. Concrete Company, or any concrete sidewalk company, keep the surface area cleared of debris and grime by sweeping it with a broom, using a leaf blower, or even using a garden hose. Although water alone can clean your concrete sidewalk right up, the harder grime (tire tracks, grease and oil stains, etc.) may need power washed or POURING chemicals to help. Additionally, concrete sidewalks are virtually scratch resistant; few surface materials are friendlier to pets and their owners, than concrete. This means our clients will be saving money in the long run because our concrete sidewalks won’t need to be ripped out, to replace worn or damaged surface area. How much maintenance your concrete sidewalk will need, largely depends on the amount of foot traffic and activity it may be receiving and seeing. The maintenance needs of a residential home’s concrete sidewalk will be much different than those for a concrete sidewalk in a high-traffic commercial or retail environment.
There are plenty of options for updating and improving the look of your concrete sidewalk or walkway. Some can be quick, do-it-yourself solutions, while others require a professional concrete company, to ensure the proper final result! Some ways to improve your concrete sidewalk are: a good surface POURING, as this can be a starting point to see what we may be working with. Along with a thorough POURING, sealing and repairing cracks vastly improves the overall quality of our concrete sidewalks. At times, applying a high-gloss sealer may also reduce traction somewhat, but that can be easily remedied by mixing a non-slip additive into the stain or sealer before the application process.
Stamped concrete has become the most widely popular decorative surface treatment for concrete sidewalks and walkways. And for very good reason: your pattern options are nearly unlimited, ranging from traditional materials such as brick, slate or flagstone, to specialized and unique patterns such as wood planking, and nature-inspired wild-life or botanical motifs. Colors and patterns for stamped concrete sidewalks can be chosen as well, to blend with other hardscaping and landscaping components around your home or business. You can also intermingle stamped concrete sidewalks with other decorative concrete treatments, such as exposed aggregate finishes and chemical staining. Always remember to leave it to us to get your concrete sidewalk properly installed, and looking beautiful.
kolten redfield2025-01-23Jr and his guys do concrete for my company anytime I need it done, he also did work at my personal house matching existing concrete and it couldn't have been better! I Highly recommend F.R. Concrete LLC
Dan Cox2024-10-31Jr and his crew were extremely friendly and approached our project as if it were their own. They were very respectful of our property and house and took all precautions to prevent wet concrete from hitting our surrounding fence and shed. Jr remained responsive via text, email and phone throughout the entire process and was great to work with on-site. We would recommend his team to anyone looking for great work at reasonable prices. We will absolutely go with his company again for any future concrete work.
Kylee Hill2024-09-06This company is AMAZING. We recently moved to Yelm and have dealt with A LOT of contractors in different fields. Jr and his team are by far our favorites. Jr is professional, outgoing and his price was fantastic. After getting several bids that were astronomically high, I got a call back from Jr. I was discouraged and told him not to even bother coming out for a bid because I didn’t think we could afford it. He asked what I was looking for and my price point. I gave him the information and sent him a couple pictures of the project. He quickly responded that not only could he do it, but it would be done within the next week (insert happy dance😆) Our slabs got poured yesterday and they turned out so great. Thank you so much Jr, you and your team are fantastic and I look forward to working with you in the future.
SharannaMae Nash2024-08-13No need for another estimate! Junior and the crew were amazing!! Junior was very professional and educated me on the process until the project was completed. They worked hard removing sunken pavers, and replaced them with beautiful stamped concrete! Thank you so much guys!
George Hansen2024-07-21I needed some concrete done, not a big job for most but bigger than I thought about trying. Went online and found some contractors. Submitted to some of them and to F.R. Concrete. Jr, contacted me I believe that day. He said he was going to be in the area that afternoon and could he stop by. There was a couple of things that lead be to pick his company. 1) his company talked about family business, they were local. 2) Jr showed up when he said. Meeting him for just a brief moment he treated me with a handshake no fist pump stuff. 3) he looked at me when talking. All characters that I like in a business owner and person in general. I showed him what I wanted done. He gave me some good advice, he took some measurements and told me he'd write up an email it to me. Got the bid and I agreed. And within a week he fit me into a schedule. Came out in the morning as said, on time with his crew. He introduced me to them and definitely a family business. His crew framed one day, cleaned up before them left. I have a sprinkler system and they were very cautious of them. Came back the next day to pour and finish the job. I can't be any happier with the final finish. Jr and his crew (family) were very professional and great to deal. Oh yeah, the price was great. By the time Jr and his crew left, Jr made me feel like part of his family and not just a customer. Jr. Thank you again for doing a great job. And I'm looking forward to the future of more projects with your family. P.s see you for breakfast later George Hansen
Caleb Gross2024-06-29We had contacted several different contractors. When we met with Junior. He was very professional and detailed on how his crew would be doing the work. The other contractors were not detailed. When we received the proposal for the work. It was broken down and detailed as to the process of the work. Each day they were on time and informed us. Where they were at and what to expect when they returned. The finish work is excellent. They cleaned up after themselves. They matched our existing patio (with the gazebo) on both sides. The acid wash and sealing that was done. Is by far the way to go. Between the existing and new sections. There is no difference. I plan to have them back on our next project. I would recommend them for your project. You won’t be disappointed.
charles schroeder2024-05-25I am very happy with all aspects of this company and there work. From a timely fair bid to scheduling and completion of the project. Junior was very polite and did what he said they would do when he said they would do it. Including cleaning up afterwards! I highly recommend F.R. Concrete for your next project.
Ronald Barnard2024-05-13Jr and his crew did an outstanding job with our concrete job. They were detailed before the pour, during the pour and finished with high precision to detail. I’m truly impressed with this company and would highly recommend them to anyone.
Emily Owens2024-05-04I got a call same day I requested a quote on a Saturday. Jr came out within a few hours to quote replacing half of our driveway and let me tell you, his price beat the other 5-6 contractors we had our for the exact same job by quite a bit. He was very reliable, honest and got the job done in a day. We live in an HOA neighborhood and he made sure to finish the job with acid wash/power wash to match the old concrete. He was always so communicative about the steps they were taking to complete the job, very professional and cared about the job they were doing. I didn’t feel we were being taken advantage of like I did the first contractors we had out. I recommend FR Concrete 100% to any family, friends, acquaintances and beyond. Thank you for doing such a an amazing and thorough job. Support family owned businesses!!
Jim Lewis2024-05-03From the qoute to the finished product everything went smoothly. We appreciated how they thoroughly explained every step and procedure. They were always prompt and on time with their work. Will be recommending them to all of our family and friends.
