Protecting Our Communities: How Top Level Ohio Fixes Trip Hazards for Safer Neighborhoods
Community Safety Starts at the Sidewalk
At Top Level Ohio, we take pride not only in fixing sunken porches, settled driveways, and uneven patios—but also in protecting our neighborhoods from unseen dangers. One of the most overlooked yet common threats to community safety? Trip hazards caused by sidewalk lifting, usually from nearby tree roots.
Every time we visit a customer’s home for concrete leveling or polyurethane driveway repair, we also take a moment to inspect the sidewalks along the street. And more often than not, we spot raised slabs and dangerous misalignments—the kind that can easily cause someone to trip and fall.

Why Tree Roots Cause Sidewalk Damage
Tree roots naturally grow and expand beneath concrete, slowly lifting sections of the sidewalk over time. While trees add beauty and value to neighborhoods, the resulting concrete damage can:
- Pose a serious fall risk to pedestrians
- Be a liability for homeowners or cities
- Reduce property curb appeal and value
When we spot these issues during our visits, we don’t just walk away—we act.
