Although grinders are the preferred method of smoothing out bumps and changes in slab levels, sometimes tree roots can cause big undulating cracks that can’t be fixed that way. So the Bobcats lift the slabs off and new concrete gets poured.
As an aside, we can’t help thinking that whoever manufactures these orange cones, known as witches hats, has a lucrative venture.
