Thickness for walks
Four inches is the usual thickness for a residential walk that only sees foot traffic. Where the walk crosses a driveway, pour that section at 6 inches, since car tires will cross it.

Joints along the walk
Walks are usually jointed every 4 to 6 feet, often at a spacing equal to the walk width, so a 4-foot walk gets a joint about every 4 feet: roughly 37 joints over 150 feet. Square panels crack less than long, thin ones.
How to buy it
At 7.41 yards, a ready-mix truck is usually easier than bags. Long walks are often poured in sections, so ask the plant how long the truck can wait and whether there is a short-load fee.
Slope and finish
Give the walk a slight cross slope, around 1/4 inch per foot, so water sheds to one side. A light broom finish across the walk gives grip when it is wet.
