Concrete Grinding
Concrete Grinding & Trip Hazard Removal
Not every uneven concrete surface requires lifting or leveling. When two adjacent slab panels have a modest height difference, creating a raised edge or lip, concrete grinding is often the fastest, most cost-effective solution.
Keystone Foundation Repair offers professional concrete grinding services, quickly eliminating trip hazards and creating smooth, safe transitions between uneven concrete surfaces for homeowners and businesses throughout our service area.

Concrete grinding uses diamond-blade or carbide-tipped grinding equipment to abrade the raised edge of an elevated slab down to match the level of the adjacent panel. The process creates a smooth, feathered transition that eliminates the raised lip entirely or reduces it to a safe, ADA-compliant chamfer. The result is immediate, a surface safe to walk and drive on, with no curing time required.
Concrete grinding is typically performed on sidewalks, driveways, garage aprons, commercial walkways, and any flatwork where a modest height differential (usually up to 1.5–2 inches) exists between slab sections. For larger differentials, Keystone Foundation Repair will assess whether lifting the sunken panel is more appropriate than grinding the raised one.
Let’s TalkWhen Is Concrete Grinding the Right Choice?
Concrete grinding is particularly well-suited when:
- The height differential between panels is 2 inches or less
- Lifting the sunken panel is impractical due to its size, load, or condition
- A fast, same-day repair is needed
- The trip hazard is on a commercial property with ADA compliance requirements
- The concrete is otherwise structurally sound and doesn’t require replacement
Keystone Foundation Repair will honestly assess whether grinding, lifting, or a combination of both is the best approach for your specific situation. Our goal is always to give you the most durable result at the most practical cost.
