Limestone Sidewalk Repair

We are making some major repairs to our 1895 home.  Curb appeal is part of it -- and a sub-category of that is the sidewalk leading to the house.  Ours was original to our 1895 house.  Limestone.  Limestone does not last forever.  It gets  cracked and worn.  Some of the limestone pieces were hard (or dangerous) to walk over.  Some had deteriorated into dust.

 We selected the four worst rectangles to remove and replace. 

(Sorry, no "before" pics). They ranged from 4"-6" in depth,

so it wasn't going to be easy. 

Look how smooth!

 My husband rented a jackhammer to

remove / break up the old limestone.

He claimed that part was pretty fun.

Then was the sand underneath and the wooden outline.

Here you can see how nice the new concrete (left)

looks next to the old limestone.

Fortunately, none of the four new concrete sections were side by side.

One repair completely done,

397 to go.
