Concrete Scarifiers

When you need aggressive removal, a scarifier is the tool. Scarifiers use rotating cutting drums to strip thick coatings, level high spots, remove trip hazards, and texture concrete far faster than grinding — making them the go-to for heavy-duty surface prep. We carry scarifiers for the jobs grinders can't tackle quickly. Call and talk to a real surface-prep expert, not a call center.

What Scarifiers Do Best

• Thick coating removal — strip heavy coatings, epoxies, and buildup fast
• Leveling — knock down high spots, ridges, and uneven slabs
• Trip hazard removal — level offset joints and sidewalk lips
• Texturing & grooving — create traction or prep for overlays
• Aggressive, fast material removal where grinding would take too long

Scarifier vs. Grinder

They're different tools for different jobs:

• Scarifier — aggressive, fast removal and leveling; rotating cutting drum that bites into the surface (rougher result)
• Grinder — smoother surface prep and polishing; finer finish

For heavy buildup or leveling, scarify first; for a smooth or polished finish, grind. Many jobs use both — call us and we'll help you choose.
