Hi,
I own a three family home in Mass,wich we recently bought for rental property.
There is a concrete slab walkway around the back of the house.
There is one spot where two sections meet,that is out of wack 2inches on one corner.It is a trip hazard!
It must be from setteling,etc?
It tapers from 2.5" to nothing along the 2ft wide joint?
To eleminate the trip hazard,I want to taper it with cement.
The slabs are too big to move,and I would rather not.
I don't know weather using "quickcrete Viynl patch" would be the best,where its tapering from 2.5" to nothing?
I do have "Quickcrete concrete mix",but wondered if the viynl patch would work better?Thanks.:rolleyes:

The patch may not bond well and pop off after the next freeze-thaw cycle. Lift the low spot with a pry bar and pack in some sand or stone dust.
