What the Grinding Actually Removes
The first pass takes off whatever is sitting on the slab: old sealer, glue residue from flooring that has been pulled up, paint splatter, and the laitance left on the surface by the original pour. Newhall has plenty of floors carrying forty years of that, and most of it comes away in a single cut.
How far we go after that is a choice. A light grind evens the surface and leaves most of the concrete's own markings, patches and color variation included. A heavier cut opens the aggregate and produces a more uniform, more deliberate-looking floor.
