Hello,

Does anyone have experience with products or techniques (and photos?) used when replacing sidewalks where there are large, mature trees and substantial roots pushing up on existing sidewalk and there is no room to move the sidewalk? Any good products to assist with bridging over?

Many thanks!
Jessika
