Side Yard Sidewalk and Walkway on Aruba Dr in Fort Collins, CO

A homeowner on Aruba Drive wanted a safe, solid way to get from the side of the house to the backyard. We built a reinforced sidewalk along the house and a walkway that curves out to the lawn.

Project details

  • Location: Fort Collins, CO
  • Completed: June 2025
  • Service: Sidewalk and walkway installation
  • Reinforcement: Rebar through both sections
  • Finish: Broom finish
  • Drainage: Graded to carry water away from the foundation

The challenge

The route along the side of the house was a narrow strip of dirt between the wall and the fence. Whatever went in had to move water away from the foundation, not toward it, and hold up to foot traffic in every season.

How we did it

  1. Excavated and compacted the path along the house and the extension toward the lawn.
  2. Laid and tied rebar through the full length of both sections.
  3. Formed the layout and set the grade so water runs away from the foundation.
  4. Poured the concrete and gave it a broom finish for grip in wet and icy weather.

The result

The side yard now has a clean, durable path from the front of the house to the backyard. If your property needs a safer route like this, take a look at our sidewalk and walkway work or browse more of our recent work.
