82nd Avenue North St. Pete Walkways
82nd Avenue North runs through the same north St. Pete residential grid, with short front yards, a city sidewalk, and a walk that has usually settled at the porch step. A walkway here fails at the transitions, not in the middle of the run.
Transitions first
We set the sidewalk joint, the porch step, and any gate threshold before we pick a pattern. The walk has to meet those elevations without a trip lip, and it has to shed water off the slab.
Compacted base under the full run, including the landing at the step
Pitch off the house, not toward the porch
A rigid edge so the walk does not spread into the lawn
A width that still leaves room for the meter and the hose bib
What we will not do
We will not feather a new walk onto a heaved sidewalk and hope the city does not notice. If the public walk is the problem, we say so before we price the private run.
