I’ve got a nature strip tree that keeps lifting our footpath.
That I'm tripping on.

Looking for inexpensive Concrete grinding cup/disc
where I round over the edges
of full length of the footpath section
across my property width.

100mm blade
with an arbor of 22.2mm

Thanks in Advance

Is it your footpath or is it a council asset ?

If it’s council I would notify them of the risk of injury to pedestrians and have them deal with it.

The couple of times I have reported trip hazards of council footpaths they have ground them down within a couple of days.

thanks, droog

Yes it is the council foot path.

Bit I'd like to use it on my cement and brick work being lifted by the council tree roots.

So hoping someone might be able to suggest a disc/cup.

If brick work is being lifted it will continue to lift, its better to dig down and cut the root off.
Dont know about your council and how savage they are but any work on public assets generally require a permit and closing of the footpath while the work is done. I recommend leaving the footpath itself to council.
