Concrete Pathway Extension Projects

Pathway extensions are a common job we service for! Generally, pathway extensions are between 20MPA and 25MPA when looking at the strength of your concrete

The strength chosen will usually depend on whether pathways will be exposed to heavy or light foot-traffic; however, the final strength of concrete ultimately depends on the quality of the cement used, appropriate curing and how much stress or pressure the concrete can take before it cracks, shears, or breaks.

Pathway extension jobs that we service usually range from 0.4m³ to 2m³. But why use Concrete Taxi, as opposed to mixing it yourself? Let’s face it, you don’t want to be mixing your concrete for hours on end, do you? We mix, as your pour, saving our customers time and money.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Pour My Own Concrete Walkway?

Yes, you can pour your own concrete walkway, but mixing it yourself can be time-consuming and physically demanding. Mixing concrete manually requires effort, precise measurements, and the right tools.

By using Concrete Taxi, you save time and effort as we mix on-site while you pour, ensuring your pathway is completed efficiently, cost-effectively, and to a professional standard.

How Deep Does a Concrete Path Need to Be?

The depth of a concrete path depends on its purpose and expected load. For typical concrete walkways or backyard paths with light foot traffic, a depth of 75-100mm is sufficient.

However, for areas exposed to heavier loads, such as pathway extensions near a house or building access points, a depth of 100-125mm is recommended. Ensure the ground is properly compacted and a smooth surface is achieved using a steel trowel to prevent cracking. For professional advice and to complete your project, Contact Concrete Taxi today!

What is the Best Concrete Mix for a Path?

The best concrete mix for a concrete path or walkway depends on the project’s purpose and location. For most residential pathways, a mix between 20MPA and 25MPA offers excellent durability and low maintenance while being cost-effective. This particular strength ensures your path can withstand foot traffic and remain smooth and functional over time.

Can I Just Pour Concrete Over Dirt?

No, pouring concrete directly over dirt is not recommended for concrete walkways. A concrete pathway must be properly laid and cured for durability. For a durable and long-lasting concrete path, proper preparation of the ground is essential.

Start by levelling and compacting the area to create a stable base. Consider adding a layer of gravel or crushed rock to improve drainage and support. This step prevents cracking, shifting, and gaps in the final surface

For added durability, use a steel trowel to create a smooth, low-maintenance finish. Preparing the site before pouring ensures your project is budget-effective and functional, enhancing the attractiveness and durability of your backyard, gardens, or house paths.
