In civil engineering, concrete leveling is a procedure that attempts to correct an uneven concrete surface by altering the foundation that the surface sits upon. It is a cheaper alternative to having replacement concrete poured, and is commonly performed at small businesses and private homes. In 1977, the term concrete leveling was coined by Randall Greene in Cleveland, Ohio. He created the phrase to convey his company's ability to both raise and lower concrete to correct the insufficient grade of a slab.

Famous quotes containing the word concrete:
“A doctor, like anyone else who has to deal with human beings, each of them unique, cannot be a scientist; he is either, like the surgeon, a craftsman, or, like the physician and the psychologist, an artist.... This means that in order to be a good doctor a man must also have a good character, that is to say, whatever weaknesses and foibles he may have, he must love his fellow human beings in the concrete and desire their good before his own.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
