I've got a large 80ft area covered with 30+ year old concrete slabs. I've dug around them and they are c.6 inches deep.
The middle one is higher at one edge (by about an inch). I can only guess that a tree root has lifted it over the years (there is a 10ft eucalyptus nearby). The other end is still at the correct level.
I need to level the surface to put down a wooden workshop.
My initial reaction was to get the slabs broken up and have new concrete slabs poured. The problem with this is the cost, but more importantly I've been told it's probably too cold to guarantee the cement will cure properly. I'd really like the workshop to be up before Christmas.
I've just had a bodgetastic idea! Hire a Floor Grinder and level off the 'wedge' of concrete. I'm guessing for £100 and a days work I could get the slab pretty level!
Would this work?
