Please help us fix our Oakland sidewalk!
Hi,
We are trying to find someone to fix the sidewalk in front of our Oakland house. A city tree root has forced the sidewalk to buckle, and it's a fall hazard. We've reported it to the City several months ago, but they have not acted. Can anyone recommend a contractor for this work?
Thank you!

Smartscaping just did our driveway and did a great job. https://www.mysmartscaping.com/
Hello,
Several years ago, the City of Oakland declared all former city trees in front of private residences to no longer be the city's responsibility. Which is probably why your request is not being answered.
We used Paradigm for our Oakland sidewalk and they were great in every way. But not cheap.

The City of Oakland has a schedule of areas with sidewalks to be fixed. Maybe you can try adjusting your request to get a reply. Example: Is my sidewalk part of the next round of sidewalk repairs? The buckling sidewalk is located at _______. If so, can you tell me approximately when it will be fixed, please?
