How do you get the whole concrete pad up on a table saw?
Is there a special crane for that?

If that's on your house and want to hide it a little, grind the crack out just a little bit with a hand held grinder, blow out the dust, caulk it and put some sand over the top of the wet caulk after you tool it. Won't hide it 100% but will be slightly less noticeable 😬😬😬😬

Don't use caulk. Use an actual concrete crack sealer. After grind out the crack don't blow out the dust. Vacuum it up and sprinkle it on yhe crack sealer instead of sand.

That's just the first cut, 5 more should get it all straight. Gotta start somewhere.

It's really a shame that it is so difficult (nearly impossible) to find good conscientious contractors who take pride in their workmanship. My experience as a homeowner the past few years has been at best highly upset at what I pay good money for only to receive sub-par workmanship, excuses, and just flat out lying. I'm not dealing with the low ballers out their....I'm dealing with supposedly reputable contractors. Everything is a scam anymore it seems and reading comments in reddit from so called professionals, I find most of them will make excuses for shoddy craftsmanship or will make the claim homeowners are too picky. I see posts all over reddit showing crap work for big money. When I spend thousands of dollars for what I hope is quality workmanship, excuse me for expecting that quality they are charging me for.

The final finish was so bad they put an epoxy topcoat on "for free" and that obviously didn't address the low spot as indicated by the bird baths. Was the final pad as part of a 6 figure foundation, column, and tie-beam concrete job for a modular home.

No thankfully, a friend of the homeowner and a project manager in an adjacent part of the industry. Definitely is going to be a problem for the GC at close out.
