Joints, life span and the City's list
Joints come first on any walk. The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association wants each contraction-joint groove to go at least one-fourth of the way through the slab, and never less than 1 inch deep. A concrete sidewalk typically lasts 20 to 40 years, by one published guide.
On the City's side, sidewalks share a line with driveways, “Driveways and sidewalks”, on Lacy Lakeview's list of projects that require permits. The City posts a permit fee schedule each year, from 2022-2023 through 2025-2026, as a PDF download; the amounts aren't printed here, so the current fee is confirmed before the job is priced.
A walk that has only dropped may need slab lifting in Lacy-Lakeview rather than new concrete, and walks at a store or office fit with commercial concrete work. The Lacy-Lakeview services page lists the rest.

Sidewalk questions answered
Should a walk be thicker where it crosses a driveway?
Usually. Ohio Concrete's industry recommendation says most codes want public sidewalks 4 inches thick, plus 2 more, 6 in all, where they cross a driveway, and commonly a 6-inch minimum for residential approach flatwork between street and sidewalk.
What strength concrete do sidewalks use?
For Texas highway work, TxDOT's Class A mix, whose general uses take in sidewalks and driveways, is designed to reach 3,000 psi or more, with its water-cementitious ratio capped at 0.60. The mix for your walk is set in the estimate.
When does a new sidewalk open to traffic?
Under the Michigan Concrete Association's guideline, a new walk or drive can open after 7 days of curing, or sooner once testing confirms 2,500 psi. The same guideline puts the window for saw-cutting joints at typically 8 to 12 hours.
