Sidewalk Lasered

I'm laying down about 60' of sidewalk. When forming this section does anyone suggest using a laser to assure me the whole stretch is level with a slight slope for draining purposes? Or am I being too technical here?

Re: Sidewalk Lasered

Sidewalks usually follow the contour of the road they are next to,so if the road isn,t level there should be no reason to try and level the sidewaks...

Yes on the laser or shoot it with a transit. It's nice to know you have everything level.
