  • I had a friend describe this method as well, though he was a bit more direct and grabbed the piece with pliers and pulled it out, usually fairly bloodily. Then he’d bandage it up until it stopped bleeding, and watch it grow back and clip it if it started edging back out to the side.

    I had it happen a couple times and used his method, and then I heard someone say if you cut the toenail straight across instead of following the curve, it wouldn’t do this. Since I started that, I haven’t had it happen again. I just use electrical sidecutters and don’t cut them super short either.







  • If money is limited, I’d just take out the two large center sections and inspect/repair the substrate. This is probably bad preperation underneath and there’s slumping and/or frost heaving. Once you have that part removed, you might decide the other areas aren’t much better underneath. Then you can decide to repour concrete or move on to a different style of patio, like pavers or a wooden deck.
