I will get a pic of it, as I need to go over there and discuss some landscaping the home owners want done. |
You
really need to cut a joint
around that brick line.
It should rest only on the brick ledge,
not on the flat work, which
will move.
I've seen it over and over, either the
flat work, the brick, or both will crack
when your concrete heaves on the
outside edge.
They must have laid the brick on an
angle iron to keep it isolated from
the concrete work to begin with.
