Uneven Concrete Repair in Ann Arbor, MI
Uneven concrete repair addresses slabs that sit at different heights relative to one another, creating lips, ridges, or abrupt edges across a surface. The problem is common wherever one panel settles faster than the next, or where frost heave has pushed a section upward. We correct the mismatch by lifting the low panel, grinding down a high edge, or a combination of both. The goal is a surface that drains correctly and does not catch feet or vehicle tires.

How It Works
Our Process for Uneven Concrete Repair
- 1
Surface Measurement
We measure the elevation difference at every joint to decide whether lifting, grinding, or both is the right approach for each transition.
- 2
Root Cause Check
Before any correction, we identify why the panels shifted — soil erosion, tree roots, or frost — so the fix addresses the actual problem.
- 3
Lift or Grind
Low panels get lifted from beneath. High edges that cannot be lowered by lifting get diamond-ground to a safe transition slope.
- 4
Joint Sealing
Once panels are level, open joints are sealed to slow future water intrusion and reduce the chance of the same shift recurring.
Ann Arbor Context
Why this matters in Ann Arbor
Mature tree canopy is one of the things that makes Ann Arbor neighborhoods appealing, but large root systems under sidewalks and driveways are a leading cause of panel displacement here. We see significant uneven concrete calls every spring after frost cycles finish.
Straight Talk
About pricing & scope
Price is driven by the number of uneven joints, whether the cause is active tree roots that need separate attention, and how much height difference exists. Grinding alone is faster; lifting takes more time but preserves more original surface.
