Residential street in King County, Washington

Sidewalk & Walkway Removal

Two quite different jobs share this name. A garden walkway is private, straightforward, and usually thin enough to come up quickly. A public sidewalk panel in front of a Seattle property is in the right-of-way, and work in the right-of-way is governed by SDOT rather than being a private matter — which changes who may do it, what permit is needed and what the replacement must look like. Most sidewalk panels come out because tree roots have lifted them into a trip hazard, and root damage is exactly the situation where the panel needs replacing rather than simply removing.

Benefits

Right-of-way work identified as such before anything is cut

Panels saw-cut at the joints so neighbouring sections are not damaged

Root-lifted panels assessed for whether the tree can stay

Material recycled rather than landfilled
