Concrete flatwork and masonry done in-house rather than subcontracted, which matters where concrete meets asphalt — aprons, curbing and trip-hazard sidewalk sections are exactly the places a pavement job runs into a second trade and stalls.
The season is closing. Book before the surface drops below about 50°F.
Step 1
Whether the section needs replacing, or whether the problem is what is underneath it.
Step 2
Old concrete out, base prepared and compacted, forms set to grade for drainage.
Step 3
Placed, finished, and jointed so it cracks where it is meant to rather than where it wants to.
Step 4
Kept off. Concrete gains most of its strength in the first week and reaches full strength at about 28 days.

Yes, in-house rather than subcontracted. It matters most where the two meet — driveway aprons, curbing and sidewalk sections — because that boundary is where a pavement job normally has to wait on a second trade.
Foot traffic after 24 to 48 hours; vehicles typically after seven days on a driveway apron. Concrete reaches full strength at around 28 days, and driving on it early is how new aprons crack.
Usually. A single raised or sunken flag can be cut out and replaced. Whether that lasts depends on what caused it — a tree root will lift the new one too, so the cause gets dealt with at the same time.
