Patching Sidewalks

Instead of removing and replacing a full panel, in some cases we will patch the existing sidewalk to repair the damage.

Best for: minor damage and cracks
Benefits: fast, inexpensive, minimal disruption

Shaving or Slicing Sidewalk Panels

To fix the uneven sidewalk, we can shave the raised portion or slice a section of the sidewalk to smooth the transition between panels.

Best for: slight bumps and unevenness
Benefits: fast, inexpensive, minimal disruption

Shaving Tree Roots

With the help of certified arborists, we can remove a sidewalk panel, shave the tree roots to reduce the disruption, and replace the sidewalk panel.

Best for: specific cases where the tree tolerates disturbance
Benefits: new sidewalk panel and root management for tree preservation

Re-routing Sidewalks

We will remove the existing sidewalk and pour new panels that route around the tree base.

Best for: areas with large, mature trees
Benefits: prevents future sidewalk damage, preserves mature trees and neighborhood character

Installing Addapave, Flexipave, or similar alternative material

These concrete alternatives are flexible and can bond with the existing concrete. It allows the sidewalk to move with the tree roots, and is less likely to crack or raise like concrete does.

Best for: areas where re-routing is not an option
Benefits: helps with stormwater management, lasts about 15 years
