A sidewalk contractor that knows Milford

Milford is a community with its own character — and the masonry that frames a property here has to respect that. We build sidewalks for homes throughout Hayward Field and Plains, with material choices and detailing that fit the local architecture. Pink Milford Granite used in landmark buildings across MA.

Sidewalk questions, answered

Do I need a permit?

Yes. Sidewalks in the public right-of-way require a town permit and inspection. We pull all permits and coordinate with town DPW.

Concrete or paver for residential sidewalks?

Concrete is faster and cheaper. Paver looks better and lasts longer. Both meet town spec when installed correctly.

Will my new sidewalk crack?

Saw-cut control joints direct cracking to predictable lines. With proper base prep, you won't see random cracks for 20+ years.
