Worried About Ugly Concrete Holes? Here’s Why Polyjacking Wins Every Time
Do Concrete Repairs Always Leave Ugly Holes?
We get this question a lot at JackedUp:
“I’m not sure I want large holes in my concrete surface showing it was mudjacked. Is there any way to mask the appearance?”
And we totally understand! When you’ve invested in a patio, walkway, or driveway, the last thing you want is big, dark repair spots staring back at you.
Polyjacking vs Mudjacking: What’s the Difference in Appearance?
Traditional mudjacking requires larger holes (usually 1 ⅝” in diameter) drilled into the concrete surface to pump in the slurry mix. These holes often remain very noticeable, even after the job is done and the holes are patched.
In contrast, polyjacking uses high-density polyurethane foam that requires much smaller holes, typically just ⅝” or smaller in diameter.
That means:
✅ Less surface disruption
✅ Smaller patches to blend in
✅ A cleaner, more seamless finish
You’ll barely notice where the work was done — and your guests won’t either.
Why Does Hole Size Matter?
It’s not just about looks. Smaller holes also mean:
Less structural impact on your concrete
Faster, cleaner installation
Better long-term appearance (especially on decorative patios or walkways)
This is especially important if your concrete has a stained finish, stamped design, or sits in a high-visibility area like your front walkway.
Can the Repair Holes Be Matched to My Surface?
Yes! At JackedUp, we take extra care to fill and color-match the holes post-injection. And because the polyjacking holes are so much smaller to begin with, they blend in better, which gives you a restored, not repaired look.
Quick, Clean, and Nearly Invisible: That’s Polyjacking
If you want to restore uneven concrete without drawing attention to the fix, polyjacking is the smart choice. It’s:
Fast (walk or drive on it the same day)
Affordable
Non-invasive
Great for homeowners who care about curb appeal
Don’t Settle for Big Holes and Big Hassles
At JackedUp, we believe in fixing your concrete the right way — with the best materials, best technology, and the cleanest finish.
