The apron is where your driveway meets the street, and it takes the hardest wear of any part of the driveway. StoneForge Paving & Masonry builds and replaces driveway aprons in asphalt, concrete, pavers and Belgian block, with a base thick enough for daily traffic.
A cracked or sunken apron lets water under the driveway and causes damage to spread. A new apron restores a smooth transition from the road, improves drainage at the curb and is an easy way to give the entrance a more finished, upscale look.
We install aprons in Stamford, Greenwich and Norwalk. Aprons pair well with Belgian block borders, a new asphalt driveway or driveway repairs.
Aprons can be built in asphalt, concrete, pavers or granite Belgian block, either matching the driveway or as a contrasting entrance feature.
Cost depends on the apron size, the material, removal of the existing apron, base repairs and any work needed to meet town requirements at the road. Some towns require a permit for work at the street; we will advise on this during the estimate.
We keep the work quick and tidy so your driveway access is disrupted as little as possible.
What to know before replacing the section of driveway that meets the road.
It is the section between your driveway and the street. It carries the most weight and water, so it often fails before the rest of the driveway.
Many towns regulate work at or near the road, and requirements vary. We check your town's rules during the estimate and tell you what applies.
Yes. A paver or Belgian block apron in front of an asphalt driveway is a popular way to dress up the entrance.
Usually the base underneath is too thin for street traffic, or water is getting under the edge. Rebuilding the base is the long-term fix.
Most apron replacements are completed quickly, but curing time depends on the material; concrete needs longer than asphalt or pavers. We schedule the work to keep disruption short.
