Serving Johnson County
Streets and sidewalks concrete construction services provide essential public infrastructure throughout Cleburne, TX and Johnson County, creating safe, durable, and accessible pedestrian and vehicular routes that serve communities for decades. Our municipal concrete expertise encompasses sidewalk construction meeting ADA accessibility requirements, residential and commercial street paving, curb and gutter installation, driveway approaches connecting properties to public streets, pedestrian crossings and safety improvements, and coordination with municipal utility installations. These projects serve cities, counties, developers, and property owners creating public improvements that enhance community connectivity, safety, and quality of life. Streets and sidewalks construction requires understanding of municipal design standards, TXDOT specifications where applicable, ADA compliance requirements that are strictly enforced in public work, coordination with multiple utilities and agencies, and construction methods suited to public environments where traffic control and public safety are paramount. Cleburne's growing population and expanding development create ongoing demand for new sidewalk and street infrastructure in residential subdivisions, commercial corridors, and public facilities. Equally important is reconstruction and repair of aging infrastructure in established areas where deteriorating concrete affects safety and accessibility. Our municipal concrete work includes coordination with city engineering departments on design and specifications, permitting and inspection processes specific to public work, traffic control plans maintaining public safety during construction, utility coordination preventing conflicts with water, sewer, gas, electric, and telecommunications infrastructure, and documentation including as-builts and warranty provisions required for public projects. Understanding ADA requirements is essential: sidewalks must maintain minimum widths, maximum cross-slopes, and proper detectable warnings at curb ramps, with violations creating liability for municipalities. We work throughout Johnson County on municipal projects ranging from small sidewalk sections serving individual properties to comprehensive street reconstruction including full concrete pavement, curb and gutter, sidewalks, and ADA improvements. Our experience includes residential subdivisions where developers install streets and sidewalks per city standards before dedication, commercial site work creating off-site improvements required for development approval, municipal capital improvement projects funded through bond programs, and federal-aid projects following TXDOT specifications and Buy America requirements.

Technical Specifications
Sidewalk Construction
Minimum 4-inch thickness using 3,000 PSI concrete, 5-foot width preferred (4-foot minimum in constrained locations), maximum 2% cross-slope for ADA compliance, broom finish perpendicular to traffic direction for slip resistance, joints spaced maximum 5 feet on center, and fiber or wire mesh reinforcement per city standards. Integral color available for decorative applications in downtown or special districts.
Curb & Gutter
Integral curb and gutter construction, minimum 6 inches thick, using 3,000 PSI concrete, dimensions per city standard drawings (typically 6-8 inch reveal curb with 12-18 inch gutter), proper grades for drainage, joints coordinated with sidewalk joints, and formed using metal or wood forms achieving clean lines and proper dimensions.
ADA Curb Ramps
Perpendicular or parallel ramp designs per ADA Standards, maximum 8.33% slope (1:12), level landing areas at top and bottom, minimum 4-foot width, detectable warning surfaces with truncated domes per federal specifications, flared sides if needed not exceeding 10% slope, and proper transitions to street and sidewalk grades.
Concrete Street Paving
Thickness designed per traffic analysis (typically 6-8 inches for residential streets, 8-10 inches for collectors, more for heavy traffic), minimum 4,000 PSI concrete, steel reinforcement or fiber reinforcement per design, doweled or tied joints for load transfer, diamond-ground surface or broom finish, and proper crown or cross-slope for drainage (typically 2%).
Base Course
Aggregate base meeting TXDOT Grade 1 or 2 specifications, minimum 6 inches compacted thickness (8-12 inches for streets depending on traffic), placed in maximum 6-8 inch lifts, compacted to 95% standard proctor minimum, properly graded for drainage, and geotextile fabric sometimes specified to separate base from expansive clay subgrade.
Quality Control
Concrete testing including slump, air content, and cylinder breaks per municipal specifications, compaction testing of base materials using nuclear density gauge or sand cone method, ADA compliance verification using levels and measuring devices, grade verification using survey equipment, and documentation of all test results for city acceptance.
Project Timeline
Planning & Design Review
Review plans and specifications prepared by city engineer or developer's engineer, verify compliance with municipal standards, coordinate with city staff regarding permits and inspections, develop construction schedule coordinating with other contractors and utilities, and identify any design issues requiring resolution.

Cleburne & Johnson County Considerations
The City of Cleburne maintains detailed design standards for streets and sidewalks in public rights-of-way. All work must comply with these standards, and city inspectors verify compliance during construction. We maintain current knowledge of Cleburne's standards and work cooperatively with city staff ensuring smooth approval and inspection processes.
Johnson County's expansive clay soils present challenges for streets and sidewalks. Proper base thickness and drainage are critical to prevent pavement failure from soil movement. Geotextile fabric separation, select fill materials, and sometimes soil stabilization with lime or cement may be necessary in problematic soil areas identified through geotechnical investigation.
ADA compliance is strictly enforced in public work in Cleburne, TX. All new construction and any reconstruction of existing facilities must meet current ADA standards. This includes not just curb ramps but also sidewalk width, cross-slope, obstacles, and transitions. Non-compliance creates legal liability for property owners and municipalities.
Subdivision street and sidewalk construction in Cleburne follows specific processes including plan approval, bonding requirements, inspection protocols, and warranty periods before city acceptance. Developers must understand these requirements, and we work with developers and their engineers to navigate the process successfully ensuring timely acceptance of improvements.
Traffic control during street and sidewalk construction in Cleburne requires proper planning and execution maintaining public safety and minimizing disruption. Work in residential areas typically allows local traffic access with flaggers. Work on major streets requires detailed traffic control plans approved by the city, sometimes necessitating night or weekend work during lower traffic periods.
Funding for municipal streets and sidewalks in Cleburne comes from various sources including developer requirements, city capital improvement bond programs, federal and state grants for specific programs like safe routes to schools, and sometimes special assessment districts. Understanding funding sources and associated requirements (such as Buy America provisions for federal-aid projects) is important for successful municipal work.
