Shoreline Concrete Pad Repair Services

Are you tired of tripping over uneven concrete or dealing with standing water at your doorstep? Don’t let those concrete issues hang around! The friendly team at Neat & Tidy is here to help you lift, level, and repair your residential pads, patios, and walkways. Plus, we’ll tackle the pesky drainage problems that caused these issues in the first place.


What’s the Problem?

Concrete surfaces can develop various issues, including:

  • Settlement & Trip Hazards — Uneven panels can lead to dangerous falls.
  • Ponding Water — Standing water against siding or steps can cause further damage.
  • 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.

How We Fix Concrete Pads (and Keep Them Fixed)

Here’s how we ensure your concrete stays in prime condition:

  1. Assessment & Mapping — We start by identifying the root causes of your concrete issues. This could include downspouts, base failures, tree roots, or improper grading.
  2. Lift & Level — Using techniques like foam-jacking or mudjacking, we raise settled panels and eliminate any trip lips.
  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 and use structural dowels for clean breaks when needed.
  5. Surface Rehabilitation — Light grinding smooths out lips, and we apply a polymer-modified patch/overlay on small spalls and edges.
  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.
  8. Root Conflicts — We coordinate with arbor care to prune roots and install root barriers or reroute 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 guide you honestly on the best course of action.

Best Timing for Shoreline

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.


Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Hardscape’s Routine)

Keep your concrete surfaces looking sharp with our annual maintenance plan, which includes:

  • Joint & Caulk Checks — We seal small gaps to prevent water infiltration under slabs.
  • Moss & Algae Control — Seasonal treatments help maintain grip on surfaces in shaded areas.
  • Drainage Tune-Ups — Regular checks on channel and basin grates, along with downspout adjustments.
  • Spot Grinding/Edge Touch-Ups — We keep lips under ¼” for ADA compliance and safety.
  • Root/Edge Patrol — Early intervention to catch lifting before cracks form.

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 your lifestyle:

  • Quarterly — Includes a spring/fall reset with two light tune-ups.
  • Bi-Monthly — Perfect for shaded, moss-prone, or high-traffic slabs.

(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.
  • Light cleaning, moss/algae treatment, and joint re-sand/caulk as necessary.
  • Drainage inlet cleanout; checks on downspouts and leaders.
  • Minor grind/patch on new lips and edge failures.
  • Continuous monitoring of root/soil conditions at slab edges and fence lines.

Why Annual Maintenance Matters

Regular maintenance offers a host of benefits:

  • Safety — Reduces the risk of slips and trips.
  • Longevity — A dry base leads to fewer voids and less settlement.
  • Aesthetic Appeal — Clean edges and even planes outshine patchwork fixes.
  • Cost Efficiency — Timely small corrections help prevent the need for costly full replacements.
