Large Driveway With Sinking Concrete and Growing Safety Concerns
At a busy Collierville, TN home, the homeowner faced significant issues across an 8,000-square-foot driveway. Although the concrete had relatively few cracks for its size, several wooden joints had begun rotting, and a sinking half-moon–shaped section on the west side near the basketball goal created a growing void beneath the slab. Additional trip hazards near the left apron raised concerns about safety and property value, prompting the homeowner to take action before the problems worsened.
Targeted PolyLevel Lifting and Expert Crack Repair
Our team returned to the property and focused on the most urgent structural issues. We injected PolyLevel beneath two key areas to lift and level the sunken slabs, restoring proper elevation and eliminating the voids contributing to settlement. Once the lifting was complete, we sealed all cracks across the driveway using NexusPro, including cracks in the courtyard and on the right side of the home. The homeowner requested a darker joint color, and after reviewing our blend options, he approved the finish that best complemented his driveway.
Proven Methods That Improve Safety and Protect Property Value
By addressing the sinking areas with PolyLevel and sealing the cracks with long-lasting NexusPro, we stabilized the driveway and significantly reduced the risk of trip hazards. These proven concrete repair methods not only help prevent further settlement but also preserve the driveway’s structural integrity and curb appeal—key factors in maintaining and improving property value. Despite his busy schedule, the homeowner was very pleased with the results and grateful to have the hazards corrected before they became more serious.

Restoring Safety, Stability, and Long-Term Peace of Mind
Identifying the Underlying Concrete Problems
This project focused on addressing several areas of cracked and uneven concrete around a Collierville, TN home. The homeowner, Loran L., had experienced settlement across his driveway, walkway, and back patio, including a small but noticeable sunken section directly in front of the garage. Multiple concrete joints had opened over time, creating tripping hazards and allowing water infiltration. In the back patio, four slabs had shifted at different angles, leaving visible cracking and uneven edges. Although the homeowner was initially unsure of the urgency, the inspection process made it clear that these issues threatened both long-term stability and day-to-day comfort.
Executing a Complete Concrete Leveling and Joint Repair Solution
Our team used PolyLevel to lift and stabilize the settled driveway section, restoring proper elevation and preventing further movement. Every accessible crack and joint—front and back—was sealed with NexusPro to protect the slabs from moisture, erosion, and seasonal expansion. On the back patio, we leveled four uneven slabs that had shifted along their joints and cracks, achieving the best lift possible while ensuring full stabilization. Per the homeowner’s request, the painted circular patio section and the front and side patios were intentionally left undisturbed, preserving his preferred look.
Delivering Long-Term Protection Through Proven Methods
By combining PolyLevel and NexusPro, this project delivered a durable, long-lasting solution engineered to prevent future settlement and extend the life of the concrete. PolyLevel provided precise, controlled lifting, while NexusPro created flexible, weather-resistant seals that protect against water penetration—one of the leading causes of concrete deterioration. These methods ensured the homeowner gained both peace of mind and improved quality of life by restoring safety, stability, and curb appeal to his property.

Phyllis O. of Collierville, TN reached out after noticing her driveway apron had sunk nearly an inch near the curb, creating a clear tripping hazard. During inspection, she also expressed concern about her back patio, which had sunk and developed a large crack due to tree-root heave. These uneven surfaces, along with multiple open joints and cracks throughout her driveway, patio, and walkway, were affecting her daily safety and comfort. One crack on the back patio had been filled with caulk by her grandson, but it required proper removal and professional repair to restore long-term stability.
To correct the settlement, the team used PolyLevel®, a precision polyurethane injection system designed for accurate and long-lasting concrete lifting. The back patio was carefully raised to level the slab and reduce the severity of the tree-induced heave, improving safety even though the area could not be warrantied. Technicians then lifted and leveled the entire sunken apron at the bottom of the driveway, eliminating the one-inch drop at the curb. Both areas were restored to a safer, more functional condition using clean, minimally invasive methods.
After stabilizing the concrete, every crack and joint across the driveway, back patio, and walkway was sealed using NexusPro®, a high-performance UV-resistant sealant. This step was crucial in preventing water intrusion, soil washout, and future slab settlement. The previously DIY-filled patio crack was professionally cleaned out and replaced with a durable, flexible seal. In the end, Phyllis was thrilled with the results, thrilled to have safer, smoother surfaces that enhanced both her mobility and peace of mind.
