The roots of the grass may further widen the crack in the sidewalk as it grows, causing potential trip hazards. Additionally, as the grass grows, it can retain moisture which may lead to further deterioration of the sidewalk over time. If left unchecked, the grass can also make the sidewalk more slippery when wet.

Properly designed sidewalks have an expansion strip every so often. Since the materials used to make sidewalks can expand and contract with heat and cold, these expansion strips act as "cushions" to each section of the sidewalk. If the expansion strips are incorrectly installed, or damaged, it is possible for the sidewalk sections to buckle and/or crack. If you need to have your sidewalk repaired, make sure that the contractor properly installs expansion strips, usually by filling the gap with foam backer rod topped with a urethane sealant.

Why are sidewalks are usually built with cracks in them?
Okay, so think about it. If a sidewalk was not built with cracks in it, then eventually weathering and erosion would cause cracks anyway. Then, whenever it rained, rainwater would get in the cracks. Stay with me now! If the temperature then dropped below the freezing point (32 degrees F, 0 degrees C), then the water in the cracks will freeze. When water freezes, it expands, which would exert pressure on the sidewalk, eventually causing the sidewalk to further crack or even split in two! If a sidewalk already has minimal, purposefully placed cracks in it, then the damage can be minimized.
