Get rid of trip hazards with precise concrete grinding.
Often, an uneven concrete edge or a small “lip” between slabs does not need a full hydraulic lift. Instead, a precise finish is enough. Concrete grinding is a focused and effective way to remove trip hazards and smooth raised edges on sidewalks, driveways, and commercial areas. At Mixan Mudjacking, we offer professional grinding services to make your property safer and easier to access, without major repairs. With a targeted grind, you can fix safety issues and improve how your concrete looks in just minutes.
What is concrete grinding?
Professional concrete grinding uses industrial diamond-bladed tools to shave down raised edges on concrete slabs. Unlike DIY methods that can leave rough or uneven surfaces, our equipment creates a smooth, gradual transition that matches the surrounding concrete. This method works well for slabs with a stable base but uneven surface height. The process is clean and dry, making it a popular choice for city sidewalks and store entrances.
The Mixan Precision Grinding Process.
Precision is the hallmark of a successful grind. A haphazard approach can lead to deep gouges or an unsightly finish that actually increases the risk of future concrete deterioration. At Mixan Mudjacking, our process is designed to be methodical and aesthetically conscious. We don’t just remove the hazard; we ensure the finished surface is smooth and the taper is gradual enough to accommodate wheelchairs, strollers, and high foot traffic. Our team focuses on “doing good work” by ensuring the final result is as durable as it is safe.
Detailed Site Assessment
We measure the height of the displacement to determine if grinding or mudjacking is the more effective long-term solution.
Precision Surface Mapping
We mark the specific area to be tapered to ensure a smooth, even transition between slabs.
Dust-Controlled Grinding
Using industrial diamond grinders, we carefully shave down the high edge while minimizing airborne debris.
Final Surface Smoothing
We finish the area to ensure it is smooth, safe, and ready for immediate public or private use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Grinding is best for minor height differences (usually 1 inch or less) where the slab is stable and not actively sinking. If the slab is still moving, mudjacking is required to fill the void beneath it.
When performed by professionals, grinding only removes the specific raised portion of the surface. It does not compromise the structural integrity of the slab.
Most individual trip hazards can be removed in less than 30 minutes, making it an incredibly fast and efficient repair.
The ground area will initially appear lighter than the surrounding weathered concrete. Over time, as it is exposed to the elements, it will blend in with the rest of the slab.
Our industrial equipment is designed to minimize dust and debris, and we clean the area thoroughly upon completion.
