Sidewalk side grading made easier

The patent-pending Side Grader has been in operation since 2004, completing more than 400,000 linear feet of grade in that time. Traditional methods produce 800 to 1,000 feet of finish grade per day, and sidewalk forms can be placed directly on the finished grade. The Side Grader can cut sidewalk prep time by one-half. A Topcon machine control system simplifies operation of the very accurate grading attachment. One company that is working with the Side Grader, Back-strom Curb and Sidewalk, Inc., attested that the company has never been as efficient in placing forms and pouring concrete.
