Concrete Grinding

What This Service Involves

Our diamond grinding equipment shaves down raised joints, rough surfaces, and minor displacements to create beveled, slip-conscious transitions that meet accessibility standards. Grinding preserves the existing slab, generates minimal waste, and reopens the walkway immediately with no cure time. It is an ideal companion to a broader sidewalk program in Western Washington, where root-driven heave repeatedly lifts panel edges. We control and collect grinding slurry to keep debris out of storm drains and satisfy stormwater housekeeping requirements.

Benefits

Creates smooth, beveled transitions that meet accessibility standards; preserves existing slabs and avoids replacement cost; reopens walkways immediately with no curing delay; generates minimal waste with controlled slurry capture; protects storm drains through proper slurry management

Our Process

1) Assess offsets and surface roughness to confirm grinding suitability; 2) Set up containment and slurry-capture measures; 3) Grind the transition to a compliant bevel and smooth finish; 4) Collect slurry, clean the site, and document the corrected profile

What Affects the Cost

Linear feet and depth of grinding required; hardness and reinforcement of the concrete; slurry containment and disposal needs; access and pedestrian control at each site; number of separate locations and mobilizations

Best Time of Year

Grinding is feasible throughout the year, making it a useful wet-season option when curing-dependent concrete pours are harder to schedule.
