6 Uses for Concrete Grinding or Cutting
In Home Improvement
Concrete Grooving/Grinding
• Unlikely as it seems, grinding and grooving concrete is a great way to save money on replacing worn concrete.
• Concrete grinding and grooving provide greater traction, placing grooves in concrete that has been smoothed by the elements.
Concrete Cutting • You can also use a
concrete cutter or concrete cutting service to improve your home!
• This will help you to get rid of superfluous concrete in your home.
#1 Grinding Your Driveway
• Grinding may be necessary to give your driveway the traction it needs without completely replacing it.
• This can be a DIY or hired out.
• If you DIY, keep the surface even.
• Make sure you have help.
#2 Downsizing Your Driveway
• If you want to make your driveway smaller for some reason, you can cut away the most inessential portions.
• If you DIY, make sure you have a way of getting the excess concrete to the dump.
• Make measurements on the depth of the concrete.
• Don’t overdo it! It’s easy to cut away excess concrete, but more difficult to put it back.
#3 Removing Old Walkways
• Get rid of less attractive walkways by cutting them out and replacing them with bricks or stepping stones.
• Or add value by treating the walkway with some color or texture.
#4 Creating Egress Windows
• This a great project if you need more natural light in your basement.
• Make sure to hire out professionally for this kind of work.
• It’s all too easy to mess with your home’s foundations or hit a pipeline.
#5 Changing Up Your Patio
• Try cutting off portions of your concrete patio to give it a different look.
• If you want a larger garden space, you can downsize your patio.
• You can also grind your patio so that it has a better surface for kids playing in water during the summer.
#6 Garage Remodel • If your garage floor is
made of concrete, it will need maintenance.
