Mudjacking isn’t the only concrete leveling method in Denver. Learn about your options for safe, beautiful concrete.


If you’ve got a sinking sidewalk or a sunken driveway in Denver, odds are you Googled “mudjacking near me.”

In the Denver area, “mudjacking” has become a kind of catch-all term for concrete leveling. But here’s the inside scoop: mudjacking is one way to level concrete, and it’s not one we use here at A-1 Concrete Leveling. Instead, we offer a more precise, controlled alternative called stone slurry grout leveling, available in Denver and across all our locations nationwide.

Let’s break down what mudjacking really is, why people use the term so broadly, and why stone slurry grout leveling might be exactly what you’re looking for, even if you didn’t know it yet.

What Is Mudjacking?

Mudjacking is a concrete leveling technique that’s been around for decades. It involves drilling large holes into a settled concrete slab and pumping a mixture of water, soil, and sometimes cement underneath to raise it back up.

It gets the job done, but with large drill holes (up to 2 inches wide), messy cleanup, and limited precision, mudjacking is not always the best option.

Concrete Leveling Options in Colorado: What Are Your Choices?

There are three main ways to lift sunken concrete:

  • Mudjacking: The most well-known term, but not the cleanest or most precise method.
  • Stone Slurry Grout Leveling: Uses a mix of water and pulverized limestone to gently and precisely lift slabs with smaller holes, better support, and long-lasting durability.
  • Foam Leveling (Polyjacking): Uses expanding polyurethane foam. Great for fast fixes, but comes with some drawbacks like environmental concerns and less control over the lift.

Why Do People in Denver Still Say “Mudjacking”?

In many metro areas like Denver, “mudjacking” is used interchangeably with “concrete leveling,” even if foam or stone slurry grout leveling is actually being used. It’s similar to how people say “Kleenex” when they mean any facial tissue.

So if you searched for “mudjacking Denver,” chances are you’re just trying to fix your settled concrete, and that means you’re in exactly the right place.

Why We Use Stone Slurry Grout Leveling in Denver

At A-1, we’ve spent over 30 years perfecting our process, and we believe stone slurry grout is the best option available in most cases. Here's why:

  • Precise control: We lift slowly and strategically, avoiding over-lifting.
  • Durability: The limestone-based material fills voids more completely.
  • Eco-friendly: Made from natural, locally sourced materials.
  • Clean finish: Smaller holes mean a less noticeable repair.

Stone slurry grout leveling costs less than foam and often lasts longer than traditional mudjacking. It’s the “just right” Goldilocks method for most Denver-area concrete problems.

Pro Tip: There are some situations where foam concrete leveling is a better solution compared to the other methods. Learn more here: When Is Foam Concrete Leveling the Right Choice Over Other Leveling Methods?
