Sidewalks & walkways for Somers properties

Somers has a village and town of rural lots, farmsteads and newer subdivisions, and that shapes how we approach sidewalks & walkways here. Locally the thing we run into most is Wisconsin village specs, lake-community lots and the same freeze-thaw cycle as the Illinois side.

We do both across Lake County and Kenosha County, and we are clear at the estimate about which side of the property line the work falls on, because that decides the cost, the permit and sometimes who pays.

Public walk and village specification

Public walk has set width, thickness, jointing and cross-slope requirements, and every village writes its own. Pour it to the wrong spec and it can be ordered out at your expense.

Private walkways

From the drive to the front steps, the back door to the garage, the patio to the shed. These get used every day and are almost always the last thing anyone budgets for.

Somers sidewalks & walkways FAQ

Who is responsible for the sidewalk in front of my house?

The public walk is village property, but responsibility for repair varies by municipality and by program. We tell you what applies at your address before quoting.

Can you replace just one section?

Yes. A single lifted or cracked flag can be saw cut out and replaced. If a tree root caused it, that has to be addressed too.

Do I need a permit to replace a sidewalk?

For public way work, generally yes. For a private walkway inside your property line, generally no.

Do you charge extra to work in Somers?

Somers is just over the state line and inside our normal radius from Waukegan.

How soon can you start in Somers?

It depends on the season and whether a permit is involved. Spring and early fall book up fastest. Call and we will give you a realistic date with the quote.
