Sidewalk trip hazard repair
A sidewalk slab that has lifted or sunk even a small amount can catch a shoe. Tree roots, settling soil, and water under slabs are the usual causes in Central Florida.

Smaller vertical offsets can often be ground down to create a smooth transition. Larger offsets, broken slabs, or slabs still being pushed up by roots usually need to be removed and replaced.
The right approach depends on the height difference, the slab condition, and what caused it. If roots are involved, the fix may need to address them too, which can involve your landscaper or arborist.
