Concrete Grinding That Fits The Job
Clean Lines, Accurate Depth, And Controlled Results
Not Just Concrete specializes in concrete grinding designed to create precise openings, remove sections, and prepare surfaces for new construction or repairs. Whether the goal is to cut a slab for plumbing access, create a doorway in a wall, or remove damaged concrete, professional grinding helps keep surrounding areas intact and reduces the risk of cracking, spalling, or unnecessary demolition.
Every project starts by matching the grinding method to the concrete thickness, reinforcement, and site conditions. Using professional-grade saws and blades, we focus on straight, measured cuts that meet layout requirements and leave edges that are easier to patch, seal, or tie into new concrete. The result is efficient progress for follow-on trades and a finished cut that looks intentional—not improvised.
Saw Types, Blades, And Techniques For Better Outcomes
Concrete grinding is not one-size-fits-all. Depending on access, depth, and finish expectations, the work may involve flat sawing for horizontal surfaces, wall sawing for vertical cuts, or hand-held saw cutting for tight areas and detail work. The right approach improves speed and accuracy while helping protect adjacent surfaces such as tile, masonry, or finished interiors.
Blade selection is equally important. Different diamond blade bonds and segment styles are chosen based on aggregate hardness, reinforcement, and whether the cut is wet or dry. Proper blade choice helps prevent glazing, reduces wear, and keeps cuts true—especially when working around rebar or wire mesh. When needed, we also plan for slurry control or dust management so the area can remain safer and easier to clean.
Openings, Demolition Prep, And Structural Modifications
Concrete grinding is often required when remodeling or adding new building systems. Typical needs include trenching for plumbing and electrical runs, cutting HVAC penetrations, forming stair and elevator openings, or creating channels for drainage improvements. Accurate cuts help ensure new components fit correctly and reduce rework when inspections or measurements must match plans.
Another frequent use is selective removal—taking out only what is needed without damaging what must remain. This is helpful for replacing sections of sidewalk, driveways, or interior slabs, and for removing concrete around footings or equipment pads. Controlled grinding can reduce vibration compared to heavy demolition, which is especially important near existing finishes, utilities, or sensitive structures.
For projects involving structural or load-bearing elements, careful layout and sequencing matter. We can coordinate cut locations, depths, and staging so the work supports the broader construction plan. Clear communication about dimensions, edge conditions, and patching expectations helps deliver cuts that are ready for the next step, whether that is coring, excavation, reinforcing, or concrete placement.

Planning, Safety, And Site-Ready Execution
In Santa Fe, Not Just Concrete provides concrete grinding with a focus on preparation and jobsite control. Before grinding begins, we confirm cut lines, check surface conditions, and discuss access, noise considerations, and cleanup expectations. This planning helps avoid surprises such as hidden reinforcement conflicts, unexpected thickness changes, or cut paths that interfere with adjacent finishes.
Concrete grinding in Santa Fe often requires balancing precision with practical site constraints like limited access, occupied spaces, or nearby landscaping and hardscape that must be protected. We can discuss wet versus dry grinding based on the environment and determine how to manage debris, slurry, and runoff so the area stays organized and safer for other trades and occupants.
If you need concrete grinding in Santa Fe for a remodel, utility access, surface removal, or new openings, we can help define the scope and the best grinding approach. Share your dimensions, drawings, or site photos, and we will align the grinding method to your timeline, edge quality needs, and the condition of the existing concrete so the results are accurate, clean, and ready for the next phase of work.
