Hey goddamit

Problem: the patio cement block is being pushed up by swelling clay, and it's impinging on the stucco siding, causing cracks. (See pics below).

I'm thinking of using a hammer and chisel to take the edge of the block down

3/8 of an inch. Then I'll use some plastic cement grout or whatever to water from having an accumulation / infiltration zone.

Real smart idea? Stupid or what you think?

Thanks

Hi, How many times are you going to chisel it? Swelling is caused by water. Poor drainage? Fix the cause, not the sumptom.
