Default How to Remove Concrete Grouting

Couple of things:

Here in the US, especially here in the Great Frozen North, if one does not bed walkways (and sidewalks) properly, their longevity is half-a-hand in years, at best. And if they are grouted, one (1) rough winter will be enough. Bed it, or lose it.

Freezing will always occur from the top down. Thawing, however, may be from either direction based on initial frost depth, nature of the soil(s) and so forth. And why all this is something of a skilled art form. Not to be done willy-nilly.

Stone paths bedded direct onto soil last a very long time here. Some from over a century ago are still in service after occasional repairs. Not sure why the difference.
