Concrete repair in Alta Vista

What we see most in Alta Vista

Because one builder put up most of this neighbourhood in a twenty-year window, the original poured foundations, brick veneer and concrete flatwork tend to fail on the same schedule street to street. The signature Alta Vista call, though, is roots: mature silver maples and elms lift walkways and steps here more than anywhere else we work in Ottawa, raising one slab edge, opening the joint, and turning the run into a trip hazard. Cutting the root without killing the tree, then re-basing and re-pouring at a proper slope, is a specific skill and most of what we do in this neighbourhood.

The name isn't marketing — Alta Vista really does sit on higher, rolling ground than most of the city, which means more retaining walls and multi-level steps than a flat Ottawa suburb needs. Because these are established gardens, we protect what's there — plywood over lawns, hand-digging near trunks, every root cut deliberately rather than ripped. Homeowners here notice that more than the concrete finish.
