The problem

Mature landscaping and root heave had lifted sidewalk panels across the association's interior walkways, mail stations, and pool deck approach. The board had a replacement bid in hand that covered a fraction of the locations at several times the cost, and residents were reporting stumbles at the darker segments of the loop path.

Scope of work

Full property walkthrough with the community manager: every offset measured, marked, and numbered
Hazard log delivered to the board with counts by location and severity
Batch grinding of 62 offsets across walkways, mail stations, and the pool deck approach
Tapered transitions ground rather than sharp steps, with edges feathered into the surrounding slab
Textured, non-slick finish left on all exterior surfaces
Before and after photos per numbered location for the association's records
Four panels flagged as structurally failed and recommended for replacement instead of grinding

Equipment used

Walk-behind trip hazard grinder with dust shroud
Shrouded 7" hand grinders for tight radius and edge blending
HEPA-filtered vacuum extraction on all units
Digital level and offset gauges for pre- and post-measurement

The result

Sixty-two hazards reduced in two scheduled days at a fraction of the replacement bid, with walkways usable immediately after each pass. No landscaping or irrigation disturbed. The board received a documented log per location for insurance and reserve records, plus an honest short list of the panels that genuinely needed replacement.
