What is Concrete Grinding ?
Concrete grinding is a fast, cost-effective way to eliminate sidewalk trip hazards without replacing the existing concrete. Using professional diamond grinding equipment, we carefully smooth uneven sidewalk panels to create a safer walking surface while preserving the sidewalk whenever practical.
For larger trip hazards that require more material removal, we also use commercial concrete scarifying equipment to efficiently restore safe, walkable surfaces.
What is a Trip Hazard?
A trip hazard is generally defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as a vertical change of more than ¼ inch at a sidewalk joint or crack. These hazards are commonly caused by settling concrete or tree roots and can often be corrected through professional concrete grinding, helping improve safety while reducing liability.

When Is Sidewalk Replacement the Better Choice?
While concrete grinding is often the best solution, some sidewalks require replacement to restore long-term safety and durability.
