The lifespan of concrete walkways is several years to decades especially if properly built and maintained over all the years. In Wisconsin, the cold temperatures freeze the ground and then when Winter is over the ground warms back up. These intense freeze-thaw cycles wreak havoc on all surfaces, it is the reason we are always stuck in from road construction! So unfortunately, concrete cracks overtime and walkways still susceptible. There are things that can be done to mitigate some of the cracking such as cutting in control joints, in blocks and squares in hopes to control where the cracking happens and mitigate damage and structural failure. You can help maintain your walkway by sealing it or having it sealed by a company. When its sealed it is much more protected from the harsh outdoor weather and also grease stains or other chemical spills.
