Riesel's housing and its walks
Of those 444 units, the Census counted 394 occupied and 50 vacant. The median year built is 1979 (±10 years) in the Census Bureau's 2020–2024 survey, and one published guide gives a concrete sidewalk a life of 20 to 40 years.
A sidewalk construction guide spaces control joints roughly 4 feet apart at a depth near one quarter of the slab, and keeps trees two sidewalk widths from the edge, since the roots of large trees can lift a walk.
A walk that has only sunk may need lifting a sunken walk rather than new concrete, and a cracked one crack and spall repair in Riesel; the Riesel services list covers the rest.

Riesel walkway questions
How deep is the dig for a new sidewalk?
About 8 inches, by one published guide: half for 4 inches of concrete and half for a compacted base of gravel or crushed stone, which helps keep the walk from eroding and settling.
How is a new walk joined to an old drive?
With an isolation joint, not a bond: a gap of ½ to 1 inch running the full depth and filled with pre-formed joint filler, which the American Concrete Pavement Association uses wherever new pavement meets old. NRMCA uses the same kind of joint to keep drives and patios apart from sidewalks so each can move on its own.
Can a walk that slopes toward the house be fixed?
Usually by replacing it. One published guide says there's not much to do for a slab pitched the wrong way except remove it and pour again. If the walk dropped because its base washed out, though, slabjacking can sometimes raise it back to its old slope, often a good fix for small slabs like sidewalks.
