How do I repair my sidewalk?

One solution for repairing your sidewalk is to start by using a chissel to increase the width of the bottom relative to the top (known as anchoring the patch). Once the crack has been adjusted, start by cleaning out the debris with a wire brush. Fill the crack with patching mix (Vinyl Concrete). Wet the surface and apply a concrete bonding agent, lastly pack a small amount of anchoring cement into the hole.

How do I maintain my driveway?

There are multiple ways we can maintain and increase the longetivity of our driveways. Calgary has very harsh thaw cycles therefore concrete sealers should be applied to better protect against oil, staining and water intrusion. Cleaning the concrete regularly using water and soap to remove dirt and grime will increase the life of your driveway. Avoid damaging your concrete with household items like snow shovels or dropping heavy objects in addition to immediately repairing visible cracks.

What is a Retaining Wall?

Retaining walls are relatively rigid walls used for supporting soil laterally so that it can be retained at different levels on the two sides. Retaining walls are structures designed to restrain soil to a slope that it would not naturally keep to (typically a steep, near-vertical or vertical slope). They are used to bound soils between two different elevations often in areas of terrain possessing undesirable slopes or in areas where the landscape needs to be shaped severely and engineered for more specific purposes like hillside farming or roadway overpasses.
