Concrete Leveling in Fairway, KS
PolyJacks levels sunken driveways and walkways in Fairway, KS with polyurethane foam, lifting historic-era slabs back to level without replacing them — free on-site estimate.
Fairway is one of the smallest and oldest cities in Johnson County. It began as a 1938 addition to J.C. Nichols' Country Club District, and the city itself incorporated in the late 1940s alongside neighbors like Mission Hills and Westwood. Well over 85 years of tree growth and clay soil movement has left plenty of driveways and walkways sitting unevenly.
Fairway's 1938 Plat and Why Its Concrete Settles
Fairway was platted in early 1938 as part of J.C. Nichols' Country Club District — the same developer behind Mission Hills, Prairie Village, and the Country Club Plaza . The city incorporated about a decade later, in the late 1940s, which means most of Fairway's original housing stock, and the driveways and walkways that came with it, went in within a fairly narrow window now well past its 85th year. That's long enough for Johnson County clay to have swelled and shrunk through countless wet-dry cycles, and long enough for mature tree roots along streets like Mission Road to have pushed into slab edges. None of this is a flaw in how the concrete was built; it's simply what nearly nine decades on expansive clay does to any slab. Foam injection can lift and relevel that older concrete without disturbing the historic character of the property.
What We Level in Fairway
PolyJacks handles concrete leveling in Fairway for driveways, front walkways, patios, porches and steps, garage floors, and pool decks, along with filling voids under slabs before they've dropped far enough to be an obvious problem. Given how old much of Fairway's concrete is, we often see settling concentrated at slab seams and transitions, where a driveway meets the street, or a walkway meets a front step. Driveway leveling in Fairway is a common request specifically because original driveways in this part of the Country Club District are narrower and often show wear differently than newer, wider pours elsewhere in the metro. A free on-site estimate is where we confirm what's actually happening before recommending anything.
Polyjacking vs. Mudjacking for Fairway's Historic Properties
Mudjacking Fairway driveways means pumping a heavy cement-based slurry through large holes to lift a slab, a method that's been around for a long time, but one that adds significant weight to soil that, in a city this old, has already had nearly nine decades to shift and settle. Polyjacking uses polyurethane foam instead, injected through holes about the size of a dime rather than mudjacking's much larger holes. It's a fraction of the weight, so it won't add stress to ground that's already moved once, and it cures completely waterproof, holding up better against the wet-dry cycles that have shaped this soil for decades. On a property with older, character-driven concrete, the smaller footprint and lighter material tend to be the better fit.
Concrete Leveling, No Demolition
A concrete leveling visit in Fairway starts with a free estimate to look at the slab and confirm foam is the right approach for a property this age. From there, we drill a handful of dime-sized holes into the low spots and inject expanding polyurethane foam underneath, lifting the slab as it cures. There's no jackhammering out decades-old concrete and no waiting days for a new pour to set, you can walk on the surface in about 15 to 30 minutes and drive on a driveway within 1 to 2 hours. Most residential jobs are finished in a single visit.

Frequently asked
What does concrete leveling cost in Fairway?
We don't publish prices, especially since older Fairway properties can each need a different approach. A free on-site estimate is the only way to get a real number. Call (913) 713-7794.
My driveway is original to a decades-old house, can it still be leveled?
In most cases, yes. Foam injection works on older concrete just as well as newer pours, as long as the slab itself is structurally sound.
Is the leveling permanent?
The foam is waterproof and won't break down, but no method can guarantee the clay soil underneath won't shift again someday, especially on a lot with nearly nine decades of settling behind it.
Will the repaired area match my existing concrete?
Yes, we lift the slab you already have instead of pouring new concrete, so the look stays consistent aside from a few small patched holes.
Do you serve neighboring cities like Mission Hills or Roeland Park?
Yes, we regularly serve Roeland Park, Mission Hills, Mission, Westwood, Prairie Village, and Merriam in addition to Fairway.
When was Fairway actually built?
Fairway was platted in early 1938 as part of J.C. Nichols' Country Club District, with the city incorporating in the late 1940s. That puts most of the original housing stock — and its concrete — at somewhere around 85 to 90 years old today.
