On the street in front of my house there are 3 broken sections of curbing,
each about 20 inches long.

The total opening where the sections should be is about 60 inches long.
The 3 broken sections fit together fairly well(like pieces in a jigsaw
puzzle) and I plan to put them back in place,cement them, level them.etc..

Some of the aggregate stone is missing on the underneath of the pieces and
from the spots they go in.

Our city used to do this, but no longer does so(that dept. was cut from
the budget).

Any tips on the most efficient and least costly way of accomplishing this
would be most appreciated. I am assuming that some combination of
sand/concrete/ and stone will be the answer.

However perhaps there is a patching material that would work just as well
to hold the sections together.

Thank you very much,

Bob

I have the same problem. Patching it is just a temporary fix as the old
concrete sections moves independent of each other (side-to-side and
up-and-down) which results in cracks in the new patch/repair after a few
months or within a year or two. Today I'm going jack hammer the broken
sections out, level out the subbase and tomorrow compact with plate vibrator
and pour a new section with rebars. I'm recycling the old concrete for
another project as the dump fees are ridiculous here.- Hide quoted text -

yep and the first time a vehicles tire hits the curb it will break
again:( instantly:(:(
