Ballard, Seattle Home prepped for Summer with Concrete Sidewalk Repair

Greenthumb Ballard Homeowner Prepares his Yard for Summer

Ballard’s vibrant community spirit is felt in its beautifully maintained homes and gardens, reflecting a sense of pride in ownership in this Seattle neighborhood. For this Ballard homeowner who prides himself on his impeccable lawn each summer, this sunken sidewalk was high on his priority list to get fixed as soon as spring came around.

Worried about the yard damage that ripping out and replacing the sidewalk would do to his lawn, the homeower called some local contractors to ask about mudjacking and other concrete lifting options.

The homeowner saved time and saved his lawn by choosing PolyLevel® lifting and leveling over mudjacking for his sidewalk.

Minimal Lawn Disturbance with PolyLevel®

PolyLevel® was injected under the sidewalk from the upper face of the concrete, minimizing the need to dig or move soil. 

Mudjacking is Messy and Ugly

Mudjacking uses pulverized limestone, stone dust, mixed with water to create a slurry to fill the void and pressurize the area to lift. The holes left behind after mudjacking are much more noticeable

The homeowners were considering replacing their settled sidewalk but feared that ripping out and repouring the concrete would damage the surrounding grass due to heavy equipment and the removal of the old slab. TerraFirma Concrete Leveling, including polyurethane and Nexus Pro, offers a better solution that is less disruptive to your landscaping and is more cost effective than replacing the concrete.
