Amarillo sits at the heart of the Texas Panhandle, where extreme weather and unique soil conditions create the perfect storm for concrete problems. The region's caliche-heavy soils — a hardpan layer of calcium carbonate deposits common throughout West Texas — don't absorb water evenly, creating voids and washout zones beneath concrete slabs.
Amarillo's climate makes matters worse. The city experiences wild temperature swings: bitter cold winters (occasionally dropping below 0°F) followed by scorching 100°F+ summers. This constant freeze-thaw cycle causes the ground to heave and settle repeatedly, loosening the soil support beneath driveways, sidewalks, and patios. Add in the Panhandle's infamous winds — which accelerate surface erosion around slab edges — and you have a city where concrete leveling in Amarillo is one of the most common home repairs.
The good news: concrete leveling typically costs 50-70% less than full replacement and can be completed in just a few hours. Amarillo has several contractors who specialize in both polyurethane foam jacking and traditional mudjacking.

Common Concrete Problems in Amarillo
Due to the unique combination of caliche soils, wind erosion, and temperature extremes, Amarillo homeowners frequently encounter:
- Driveway settlement — especially at the garage apron where soil compaction is heaviest
- Sidewalk trip hazards — the City of Amarillo can issue citations for uneven sidewalks exceeding ¾ inch
- Patio and pool deck settling — backfill soil around pools and patios compresses over time
- Garage floor sinking — causes door alignment issues and water intrusion
