House walks and business walks follow different rules
The federal accessibility standards "apply to places of public accommodation, commercial facilities, and state and local government facilities," and where a business runs from a private home, "the portion of the residence used exclusively as a residence is not covered." Where they do apply, walking surfaces need a running slope no steeper than 1:20, a cross slope no steeper than 1:48 and at least 36 inches of clear width. Level changes over ½ inch have to be ramped.
At home, the width is the owner's choice. One published guide calls 48 inches the ideal, room for two people walking abreast or a wheelchair, and cuts control joints about every 4 feet to roughly a quarter of the slab's depth. An isolation joint where the walk meets the drive lets each slab move on its own, NRMCA says.
Pair the walk with the driveway it joins, look at slab lifting for a walk that has only sunk, or browse more McGregor services.

Lay out the walk
Where the walk runs, how wide it is and how it falls away from the house get settled, and a business walk is checked against the ADA slopes and widths.
Excavate for base and slab
Digging goes about 8 inches down, half for the compacted gravel or crushed-stone base and half for the slab.
Pour, broom and joint
The walk is poured, given a broom texture for grip and jointed about every 4 feet.

Slope, soil and the old concrete
How much should a walk beside the house slope?
Away from the house. A 4-foot walk that runs parallel to the house should fall 1 inch across its width, facing away, one published guide says, and near the house the International Residential Code sets a floor of 2 percent fall away from the foundation for any hard surface within its first 10 feet.
Is the clay near U.S. 84 and Texas 317 hard on sidewalks?
It can be. The 1992 soil survey described its typical Branyon clay 0.3 mile north of that intersection, a very deep clayey soil on Pleistocene-age stream terraces, and the USDA survey's rating for concrete driveways and sidewalks puts Branyon clay at "Very limited", with high shrink-swell as the reason. NRCS says that potential limits the performance and longevity of concrete, so the base and joints are planned around it. One sample doesn't settle what's under every lot.
Can the old walk's concrete be recycled under the new one?
For the base course under a new slab, "crushed recycled concrete aggregate can also work well," one published guide says. The EPA reports that aggregate was the main destination for demolished concrete in 2018, about 301 million tons of it.
