Slip-Resistant Finishes — Walkways in Malibu, CA

Slip-Resistant Finishes

A medium broom finish perpendicular to the walking direction is our default for entries and ramps — exposed aggregate and salt finish are also available for extra grip near pools and shaded paths.

Built for Malibu Conditions

We pour pedestrian sidewalks at 4 inches thick over 4 inches of compacted base, stepping up to 6 inches where vehicles cross at driveway aprons, with control joints at intervals of roughly 24 to 30 times the slab thickness to direct shrinkage cracking into straight, planned lines.

Work in the public right-of-way or within the Coastal Zone typically requires review, and we handle submittals through the Malibu development portal so inspections stay on schedule. We slope paths 1/4 inch per foot away from foundations and set finished height flush with adjacent patios and porches to eliminate lips at transitions.

Work in the public right-of-way or Coastal Zone typically requires review — we handle those submittals through the Malibu development portal.
