Due to everyday wear and tear, not to mention various weather conditions, your sidewalk and concrete will get damaged over time. If they are cracked, stained, or uneven, you may believe that it is much easier to remove everything and lay new concrete. However, concrete replacement is not always the best solution. It should be your last option. Let’s take a look at the pros and cons of replacement and repair options.
Replacement
After complete replacement, your concrete will look amazing. However, this is not a simple procedure. It is time-consuming and expensive. Experts will first need to break down the concrete into small pieces and then take them away. This can be very loud, disturbing, and can completely mess up your landscaping. Only when everything has been cleared up, new concrete can be poured.
How much money you will have to invest in this will greatly depend on the number of slabs that need to be replaced and the size of your driveway and sidewalk. Also, any underlying problems will need to be addressed first or your new concrete will suffer the same fate as your old one. Even if your  specialists are very efficient, the entire replacement will last much longer than a concrete repair.
