Concrete Leveling in Buffalo, MN
Restore sunken, uneven concrete without immediately tearing out the entire slab. Laumann’s Outdoors raises and levels driveways, sidewalks, patios, steps and other concrete surfaces throughout Buffalo and Wright County.
Why Concrete Settles
The slab moves when the support beneath it changes.
Concrete can remain structurally sound while the soil below it shrinks, settles or washes away. The resulting void leaves part of the slab unsupported, allowing it to sink and creating uneven joints, poor drainage and trip hazards.
Soil settlement
Loose or poorly compacted soil compresses over time and no longer supports the slab evenly.
Water and washout
Drainage issues can carry soil away from beneath concrete and create empty spaces below the surface.
Minnesota freeze-and-thaw cycles
Seasonal ground movement can worsen low spots, open joints and uneven transitions around a property.
Concrete We Level
One solution for the surfaces you use every day.
If the concrete is still in serviceable condition, leveling may restore a safer, smoother surface without a complete tear-out and replacement.
Driveway slabs
Correct sunken sections, uneven joints and transitions where the driveway meets the garage or apron.
Sidewalks & walkways
Raise low panels to reduce trip hazards and create a more consistent walking surface.
Patios & pool decks
Improve drainage and remove abrupt height differences around patios and recreational spaces.
Steps & stairs
Address settled landings and concrete approaches that have pulled away from adjacent surfaces.
Garage & interior slabs
Evaluate uneven concrete floors and voids for an appropriate lifting and stabilization plan.
Drainage corrections
Restore pitch where appropriate to help move water away from low areas and foundations.
Our Concrete Lifting Process
Target the void instead of replacing every slab.
Laumann’s Outdoors uses a concrete lifting process to fill unsupported areas beneath suitable slabs and carefully return the surface toward the proper position.
Inspect
We review the slab, adjacent surfaces, drainage and likely cause of settlement.
Plan access
Small access points are placed where the fill material can reach the underlying voids.
Fill & lift
Material is introduced beneath the slab in a controlled manner to restore support and elevation.
Check & finish
The surface and transitions are checked, access points are finished and the work area is cleaned.
Every property is different. The on-site inspection determines whether lifting is appropriate and what result is realistic for the existing concrete.
Why Level Existing Concrete?
Get more useful life from a slab that is still sound.
When settlement—not severe structural damage—is the main problem, concrete lifting can address the unsupported area while preserving the existing slab.

Concrete Leveling FAQ
What property owners ask us.
Not every cracked or settled slab is a lifting candidate. We inspect the concrete and explain the most practical option before work begins.
Is leveling better than replacing the concrete?
It depends on the slab. Leveling is often worth considering when the concrete is generally intact and the primary problem is settlement or a void beneath it. Badly broken or deteriorated concrete may require replacement.
Can you level a driveway or sidewalk?
Yes. Driveways, sidewalks and walkways are common candidates, along with patios, steps, pool decks, garage floors and other concrete slabs.
Will leveling help with standing water?
Correcting a low section may improve drainage when slab position is causing water to collect. We evaluate the surrounding grade and drainage so the repair addresses the actual problem.
How soon can the concrete be used?
Return-to-use timing depends on the surface, material and repair. Your crew will explain the specific timing for walking or driving on the completed area.
