Murray's mid-century homes sit on concrete with decades of freeze–thaw behind it. Sidewalks, driveways, and front walks here are prime candidates for lifting — settled, but usually intact enough to save.
Much of Murray's flatwork dates to the 50s–80s. Decades of winters mean real settlement — but also slabs worth saving. A good contractor will tell you when a lift works and when replacement is the honest answer.
Raised sidewalk squares are the most common Murray call — and the cheapest fix, often $350–$700 for mudjacking a section. Cities can also cite homeowners for trip hazards, so it pays to act.
Older Murray lots often have mature trees and settled grading that directs water toward the slab. Fix the drainage with the lift or the slab sinks again.
| Project | Mudjacking | Foam leveling |
|---|---|---|
| Sidewalk section | $350–$700 | $900–$1,900 |
| Driveway section | $650–$1,300 | $1,500–$3,200 |
| Full driveway | $1,500–$2,900 | $3,200–$7,200 |
Most Murray residential jobs run $500–$3,000 total — mudjacking at $3–$8/sq ft, polyurethane foam at $5–$25/sq ft. Sidewalk sections start around $350; full driveways run $1,500–$7,200 depending on method.
