Concrete Walkways & Steps in Wilmington, NC
Front walks, side paths, porches and poured steps — safe, even and built to match your home.
A walkway is how every guest reaches your door, and a step that is a little too tall or a path that holds water is something you notice every day. We lay out front walks, side paths to the backyard, porch landings and poured steps so they look sharp and feel safe.
Steps are formed with uniform rise and run, finished with a non-slip texture and clean edges. Walkways get a compacted base and slope so rain runs off to the lawn instead of puddling in front of the door.
What you get
Front walks & side paths
Straight or curved paths from the driveway, street or backyard gate to the door.
Poured steps
Uniform rise and run, non-slip finish and clean, rounded edges.
Porches & landings
Level landings sized for the door swing, with proper slope away from the house.

Classic broom finish, or stamped borders and patterns to match your patio.
Not the cheapest bid. The one you won’t have to redo.
A cheap slab costs less on day one and more every year after — cracks, sinking, fading color. Here is what every MJ project includes that a low bid usually skips.
| Typical low bid | The MJ standard | |
|---|---|---|
| Base | Poured on whatever dirt is there | Excavated, graveled and compacted in lifts |
| Thickness | 3–3.5" to save material | 4" patios, 5–6" with rebar for heavy vehicles |
| Reinforcement | None, or fiber only | Wire mesh or rebar + fiber, sized to the load |
| Concrete mix | Cheapest available | 3,500–4,000 PSI, air-entrained for the coast |
| Control joints | Too few, or cut too late | Planned into the layout and cut the same day |
| Sealer | Optional or watered down | UV-stable sealer with anti-slip grit included |
| Supervision | Crew without the owner | Juan on every pour |
| Quote | One number, extras later | Line-item and in writing, no surprises |

Common questions: Concrete Walkways & Steps
How much does a concrete walkway cost in Wilmington?
Concrete walkways usually run $13–$23 per square foot depending on width, shape, finish and site prep. A typical 4 ft × 30 ft front walk is about $1,560–$2,760. Poured steps are quoted per job.
Can you replace my old front steps?
Yes. We remove cracked or uneven steps, re-form them with even rise and run, and tie them into the walkway or porch so everything sits level.
