Driveway Leveling

The Acorn Driveway

A severely cracked and settled driveway had begun to crater as the concrete broke into a void near the garage. We lifted and supported the slabs to restore the driveway without replacing the existing concrete.

The Problem

A severely cracked driveway had settled approximately 2 inches near the garage. As the supporting soil beneath the concrete had deteriorated, the slab began breaking and cratering into the resulting void. The slab closest to the garage had a vertical difference of approximately 1.5 inches at its lowest point.

The Work

We lifted and supported the settled driveway slabs, correcting the elevation near the garage and improving the alignment between the slabs.

Before caulking, we power-washed the concrete surfaces and cracks to remove dirt and debris and provide a clean surface for the sealant. The driveway had heavy acorn staining that remained visible in some areas despite cleaning.

The Result

The driveway was lifted and brought back into alignment near the garage, then the cracks were cleaned and sealed. The result was a safer, more uniform driveway with a significantly improved appearance and additional service life without replacing the existing concrete.


The Work

Details from the project

The driveway had many cracks and severe settlement near the garage.
The slab nearest the garage was approximately 1.5 inches low at its lowest point next to the garage.
Dirt and plants were growing through the cracks.
The slabs were fragmenting as water entered the cracks and the concrete continued to deteriorate.
The two sides of the crack had approximately 1.5 inches of vertical difference.
The slab was adjusted to align with the garage.
The driveway was cleaned and caulked after leveling.
The cracks were sealed to help prevent water from entering beneath the slabs.
From the street, the completed driveway has a significantly cleaner and more uniform appearance.
