Width, drainage and the soil under a new walk
For a front walk, one guide gives 48 inches as the ideal width and at least 4 inches as the thickness. Drainage is set in the forms: for a 4-foot walk that runs alongside the house, the outer edge sits an inch lower than the inner one, so water heads away from the wall.
Our sources don't map the soil inside Golinda. For the McLennan County side, the USDA soil survey gives Houston Black, Heiden, Slidell, Branyon and Crawford soils a "Very limited" rating for concrete driveways and sidewalks, because they shrink and swell. NRCS uses that label where the problems usually can't be beaten without major soil reclamation, special design or costly installation. We hold no matching rating for the Falls County side, where most of the city lies, so the estimate looks at the ground on the route itself.
A walk that branches off the drive pairs with a new Golinda driveway, and a panel that has only sunk with slab lifting in Golinda; see the Golinda overview for the rest.

Sidewalk questions for Golinda homes
Is a 4-foot walk wide enough for a wheelchair?
Yes. One guide calls 48 inches ideal because a wheelchair fits, or two people walking abreast. Living space in a private home is outside the 2010 ADA Standards, which cover public accommodations, commercial facilities and state and local government facilities; there, walking surfaces need 36 inches of clear width.
Does Golinda publish rules for a walk along the street?
Not that we could find. Our research turned up no working City website and no posted Golinda rule for sidewalks, drives or other flatwork. That gap is in what's published, not proof that no permit applies, so ask the City before a walk is formed beside a street.
How much digging does a new walk take?
Roughly 8 inches: the bottom half for compacted crushed stone or gravel, the top half for the concrete.
