Driveway Aprons

Your driveway apron gets the most traffic and is prone to damage over time.  Driveway aprons will protect the edges of existing driveways by acting as a barrier between concrete and asphalt. This is why you need a concrete apron that can hold up against the pressure. Concrete aprons are designed to be 6 inches thick with wire and rebar reinforcement. At Maintain It All, a properly installed concrete apron will add protection to your driveway and last for years to come.

What is a Driveway Apron?

A driveway apron is a crucial part of any driveway. It serves several important functions, helping to keep your driveway safe and well-maintained. First and foremost, the driveway apron protects the driveway itself by providing a smooth transition between the driveway and curb or other surrounding features. The apron also helps to prevent erosion by diverting rainwater away from the driveway, while still allowing water to seep into the ground below. Finally, a well-constructed driveway apron can be aesthetically pleasing, making your driveway both functional and attractive.

The Benefits of Driveway Aprons

Residential Driveway Apron Installation Process

Our professional team will first inspect your residential driveway, then layout your new concrete driveway apron. The old cracked or damaged apron will need to be removed with an excavator and jack hammer. A new stone base will be installed along with wire and rebar. New concrete at 4,000 PSI will be poured 6 inches thick. Once it has set, we use a broom finish to create a textured surface that is slip resistant.

How Thick Should a Driveway Apron be?

While the thickness of a driveway apron will depend on a number of different factors, it is generally recommended that this area should be 3-6 inches thick. One reason for this is that driveway aprons help to protect the driveway from damage from cars and other vehicles. A thicker driveway apron will provide more cushioning and stability, reducing the risk of cracks or unevenness in the driveway surface. In addition, driveway aprons help to divert rainwater and snowmelt away from the driveway itself, helping to prevent puddles and ice buildup during rainy or snowy seasons. Overall, a driveway apron that is between 3 and 6 inches thick will provide the best protection for your driveway and ensure long-lasting performance.
