How to install a Live Edge Slab Countertop

What happens here

Begin by removing the existing concrete countertop. The video shows two individuals using a sledgehammer and a pry bar to break apart the concrete countertop, which appears to be reinforced with rebar. Car jacks are also used to lift sections of the heavy concrete. Care is taken to only remove the countertop itself, leaving the stone and wood base structure intact.

Goal: Remove the old concrete countertop while preserving the base structure.

Tools and materials

  • Car Jacks — Assisting in lifting heavy concrete sections
  • Pry Bar — Leveraging and lifting sections of concrete
  • Sledgehammer — Breaking apart the concrete countertop
