Muddy shortcut across the lawn or an old path that's cracked and sunk? We'll build a paver or poured concrete walkway that fits your day.
Walkway construction in Wellington means digging out a route, building a firm base under it and then laying pavers or pouring concrete on top, so you get a path that stays where it's put. Most homeowners I meet are choosing between those two surfaces, and that choice shapes the price, the feel underfoot and how soon you can walk on it.
The call usually starts with what's there now, like a worn line in the grass from the driveway to the front door, stepping stones that have sunk, or an old path that cracked and heaved. I'd rather you understand what's going on before you pay anyone, so if your path only needs a few pieces replaced and not a whole new walk, I'll tell you that.
The size of the path moves the price most, then the surface, and with concrete, whether you want a basic finish or decorative color or texture. The schedule turns mostly on the surface too, because concrete goes in quickly but needs several days to cure before it takes foot traffic, and on whether your job needs a permit. The estimate I write lays out what we'd do on your path and why.
I've run this business in Wellington since 2020, and the way a job goes hasn't changed. Here's who does what, from the first visit to the finished path.
I come out to every estimate myself, so the person measuring your path is the one answering your questions. We'll walk from where the path starts to where it ends, and I'll point out anything in the way, like a low spot or a tree root.
Your estimate spells out the surface, the size of the path and the prep under it, along with the reason for each choice. If the job calls for a permit, we go over that with you at the same visit.
Once you say yes, our crew does the work and I let you know what's coming next at each stage. We're licensed and insured.
Every walkway starts the same way. I lay out pavers and poured concrete side by side and we talk through grip, upkeep and cure time, so you can pick the one that suits how you'll actually use the path. Then our crew marks the route, digs it out, builds up the ground underneath, sets or pours the surface and cleans up when the walk is in.
A walkway often runs next to other work. If you'd like a low wall along the path or around a garden bed, we handle brick wall installation, and our stone masonry covers steps, borders and a stone edge where the walk meets the yard.
The part you'll walk on is the last thing we do. Most of the work is underneath, and it's the reason a path stays flat.
Underground pipes and wires get marked before anyone digs, because a shovel through a line turns a walkway into a repair job. Many places have one number to call at least two days ahead, so we plan that into the start, then stake out the width and curve so you can see the path on your lawn before it's cut.
For pavers, we dig out the route, compact the soil, then add a base layer and compact that too, since a path only stays flat if the ground under it does. For concrete, we excavate and grade the route so the slab sits on an even bed.
Pavers go inside edge restraints that hold them in line, on bedding sand we screed, scraping it flat with a straight board so every paver sits level. Concrete gets mixed and poured with the plain finish or the color and texture you chose.
We clean up the work area when the surface is in. If you went with concrete, keep foot traffic off it through the cure we talked about up top.
Send us the rough length and width of the path you have in mind and whether you're leaning toward pavers or concrete. We respond within 1 business day to set a time, then I come out, look at the route, answer your questions and write you a free quote on site, with no pressure to book. You can also call (561) 268-0510.

Concrete feels smoother underfoot but can get slippery when wet, while pavers give better traction but can feel a little bumpier. Pavers need the odd weed or bit of moss pulled from the joints, but a cracked one can be swapped out alone, so repairs are easier and cost less than on concrete, and for a path that gets wet a lot, I lean toward pavers.
Paver or poured concrete paving usually costs about $6 to $30 per square foot across the US, with materials and installation included. That's a national range and not our price, and where your path lands depends on its size, the surface and the finish. I'll measure your route and write it up for you at the estimate.
Palm Beach County requires its contractors to be certified and insured, and the county's trade list includes concrete forming and placing and masonry. The county also says that as of July 1, 2025, it preempted certain trade scopes under state law, so those no longer need a Certificate of Competency, its county trade certificate. You can read the county's contractor rules before you hire anyone.
Yes, a walkway can be built as a permeable system, and Florida guidance from UF/IFAS says one should drain completely within 24 to 72 hours. The same guidance says poorly drained soils can make that a real challenge. If you're interested, ask about it at the estimate and I'll tell you what I see on your site.
In the Village of Wellington, the Building division enforces the village codes and the Florida building code, and it processes building permits electronically through ProjectDox. It also enforces the village's architectural and property maintenance standards, which shape how new work like a walkway fits your property. When a job calls for a permit, we apply for it and set up the inspections, so you don't have to learn the system yourself.
Most of the walkways we build here run from the driveway to the front door, or around the side of the house to a back patio. The same calls come in from Royal Palm Beach, The Acreage, West Palm Beach and the other cities around Wellington, and we do the same work there.
Call (561) 268-0510 or use the form, and since we answer until 10 PM on weekdays and 9 PM on weekends, you can reach us after work.
If you're still torn between pavers and concrete, give us a call and I'll talk it through with you.
