Control Joint and Saw Cutting
Concrete shrinks as it cures, and control joints tell it where to crack. We lay out and saw cut joints in new slabs, add relief cuts to older ones, and make clean, straight cuts for repairs, trenches and openings, with dust control to keep the job tidy.

Common questions
How far apart should joints be?
A common rule is about two to three times the slab thickness in feet. The Joint Planner on this site shows an example.
Can joints be hidden?
In stamped and decorative work, joints can follow pattern lines so they blend in.
