What’s the Problem?

Concrete surfaces can develop a range of issues, including:

• Settlement & Trip Hazards — Uneven panels can lead to dangerous falls, especially in high-traffic areas.
• Ponding Water — Standing water against siding or steps can cause further damage and attract mosquitoes.
• Cracks & Spalling — Winter moisture combined with poor base conditions leads to unsightly chipping and flaking.
• Moss/Algae Slicks — Shaded areas can become slippery, while joints may be packed with dirt and weeds.
• Tree Root Lift — Invasive roots can disrupt the integrity of your concrete edges, leading to further complications.

How We Fix Concrete Pads (and Keep Them Fixed)

Here’s how we ensure your concrete remains in top shape:

1. Assessment & Mapping — We identify the underlying causes of your concrete issues, considering factors like downspouts, base failure, roots, or improper grading.
2. Lift & Level — Using foam-jacking or mudjacking, we raise settled panels and eliminate trip lips for smooth, safe surfaces.
3. Drainage Corrections — We’ll redirect downspouts, install channel drains or catch basins, or create swales to ensure proper water flow away from the slab.
4. Crack Repair — We meticulously chase and fill active cracks, using structural dowels for clean breaks when necessary, ensuring longevity.
5. Surface Rehabilitation — We perform light grinding to smooth lips and apply a polymer-modified patch/overlay on small spalls and edges for a seamless finish.
6. Section Replacement — For severely damaged panels, we’ll saw-cut, compact a new base, and pour fresh concrete to match the existing surface.
7. Moss & Weed Cleanup — We ensure a gentle wash (no joint blasting), apply biocide as needed, and re-sand or caulk joints at transitions to keep surfaces clear and safe.
8. Root Conflicts — We coordinate with arbor care to prune roots and install root barriers or re-route walkways as necessary.

We don’t believe in quick fixes. If your base or drainage is off, we’ll fix that first—or we’ll recommend a proper replacement.

Repair vs. Replace

• Repair is ideal when: Settlement is manageable, the base can be stabilized, and drainage can be effectively corrected.
• Replace makes sense when: Slabs are extensively damaged, the base is inadequate, or roots will continue to cause lifting. We’ll honestly guide you on the best course of action.

Best Timing for Burien

The optimal time for repairs and installations is Spring to Fall, when the weather is dry and temperatures are between 45–80°F. We avoid heavy rain periods to ensure the best results for overlays and new pours, so your repairs can stand the test of Burien weather.

Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Hardscape’s Routine)

Keep your concrete surfaces in pristine condition with our annual maintenance plan, which includes:

• Joint & Caulk Checks — We seal small gaps to prevent water infiltration under slabs, keeping your foundation dry.
• Moss & Algae Control — Seasonal treatments help maintain grip on surfaces in shaded areas, reducing slip risks.
• Drainage Tune-Ups — Regular checks on channel and basin grates, along with downspout adjustments, to keep water flowing away from your home.
• Spot Grinding/Edge Touch-Ups — We keep lips under ¼” for ADA compliance and safety, ensuring your space is accessible for all.
• Root/Edge Patrol — Early intervention to catch lift before cracks form, preserving the integrity of your hardscapes.

At Neat & Tidy, we’re all about low-maintenance landscaping. Fewer problems mean less work for you!

Service Cadences (Pick What Fits)

Choose the maintenance schedule that works best for you:

• Quarterly — Includes a spring/fall reset with two light tune-ups to keep everything in check.
• Bi-Monthly — Perfect for shaded, moss-prone, or high-traffic slabs to ensure they remain safe and beautiful.

(For fresh repairs or heavy leaf drop, start with a monthly schedule for 60–90 days, then taper off.)

What Annual Maintenance Includes

Your annual maintenance package includes:

• A thorough walkthrough & photo log of any settlement, cracks, and drainage issues so you can track improvements.
• Light cleaning, moss/algae treatment, and joint re-sand/caulk as necessary to keep surfaces looking sharp.
• Drainage inlet cleanout; checks on downspouts and leaders to ensure proper water flow.
• Minor grind/patch on new lips and edge failures to maintain smooth transitions.
• Continuous monitoring of root/soil conditions at slab edges and fence lines to prevent future issues.

Why Annual Maintenance Matters

Regular maintenance offers numerous benefits:

• Safety — Reduces the risk of slips and trips, keeping your family and visitors safe.
• Longevity — A dry base leads to fewer voids and less settlement, extending the life of your concrete.
• Aesthetic Appeal — Clean edges and even planes outshine patchwork fixes, enhancing your curb appeal.
• Cost Efficiency — Timely small corrections help prevent the need for costly full replacements, saving you money in the long run.
