Garland's older subdivisions still see plenty of large driveway and patio slabs that respond well to the original slab-raising method: mudjacking. It's a cement, sand, and water slurry pumped underneath a sunken slab through drilled holes.
Dallas County clay soil is the reason the void formed under that slab in the first place, shrinking away from the concrete during dry spells and leaving a gap. Garland Concrete Lifting fills that gap with slurry, checks the lift with a level, then patches the access holes flush.
What's included
What's Included with Mudjacking
- Drilling pattern — holes spaced across the slab based on its size and drop.
- Slurry pumping — cement-based mix injected under pressure until the slab rises.
- Level check — surface measured against the surrounding grade before finishing.
- Hole patching — access points filled with matching cement patch.
- Optional — joint sealant applied around the perimeter after cure.
- Customer prep — move vehicles and outdoor items off the slab before the crew starts.

How Our Mudjacking Process Works
Step 1Site inspection
Technician checks slab drop and confirms mudjacking fits the job.
Step 2Drill access holes
Pattern set across the low sections of the slab.
Step 3Mix and pump slurry
Cement slurry pumped in stages to lift evenly.
Step 4Monitor the rise
Crew checks progress at each hole during the pour.
Step 5Verify with a level
Final grade confirmed against the adjoining surface.
Step 6Patch and cure
Holes filled, slab left to set before use.

FAQs
Mudjacking FAQs
What's the difference between mudjacking and polyurethane foam lifting?
Mudjacking uses a heavier cement-based slurry pumped through larger holes, and it needs longer to cure before you can drive or walk on it. Foam is lighter, sets faster, and works through smaller holes, but slurry has a long track record on big driveway slabs.
Will lifted concrete sink again in a few years?
It depends on whether the soil under the slab keeps moving. A slurry-filled void holds up well against Dallas County's clay soil cycles, though nothing stops soil movement completely.
Is mudjacking a DIY job?
Not realistically. The pumping equipment needed to move slurry evenly under a slab isn't something you rent at a hardware store, and getting the pressure wrong can crack the slab instead of lifting it.
How much does mudjacking cost compared to replacement?
Mudjacking typically runs well below the cost of demolishing and repouring the same slab, since there's no demolition, hauling, or new concrete cure time involved.
