Concrete, masonry and hardscape in Summit, NJ

Summit spells out who owns the sidewalk: the city says sidewalks and curbs in the public right-of-way are the property owner's responsibility. An Engineering Permit is required before any curb, driveway apron or sidewalk is installed or replaced there. We do that work, along with steps, walls, patios and masonry repair.
