Commercial Concrete Grinding

Eliminate Trip Hazards. Improve Safety. Extend Pavement Life.

Uneven sidewalks and raised concrete panels are one of the most common—and overlooked—safety hazards on commercial properties. Total Paving & Brick Services offers professional concrete grinding to level out high spots, remove trip hazards, and keep your walkways ADA-compliant without full replacement. It’s a fast, cost-effective way to restore safety and extend the life of your concrete surfaces.

What Is Concrete Grinding?

Concrete grinding is a mechanical process that removes raised sections of concrete, typically caused by slab shifting, settling, or root growth. Rather than tearing out and replacing entire panels, grinding selectively removes high spots to create a smooth, continuous surface.

Grinding is often used as a preventative maintenance tool for:

  • Sidewalks and pedestrian paths
  • Building entrances and access ramps
  • Courtyards, plazas, and shared-use spaces
  • Areas impacted by tree roots or soil movement

Why Choose Total Paving?

  • ADA-Compliant Results – We grind down elevation changes to meet ADA standards (typically less than ¼” vertical change)
  • Fast, Non-Invasive Process – No heavy demolition, no major cleanup—just efficient surface correction
  • Cost-Effective Repairs – A fraction of the cost of full panel replacement
  • Minimize Liability – Reduce risk of slips, trips, and falls on your property
  • Seamless Maintenance Integration – Combine with crack repair or walkway services for full surface restoration

What’s Included in Our Grinding Service

Every grinding project starts with a site inspection to locate and mark affected areas. From there, we:

  • Use precision grinding equipment to shave down raised concrete edges
  • Feather transitions between panels for a smooth walking surface
  • Remove grinding debris and dust for a clean, finished look
  • Recheck elevation and compliance with ADA and local standards

We’ll also advise if any areas require full panel replacement or additional maintenance.
