Driveway Aprons & Right-of-Way Approaches Done to Spec
The apron—or 'approach'—is the strip of concrete between the public street and the start of your driveway. It's in the public right-of-way, which means it's regulated by the City of Seattle (or whichever jurisdiction you're in: Queen Anne, Magnolia, Madison Park, etc.). The good news is that apron repair is one of the most common jobs we do. The bad news is many homeowners get stuck dealing with permits and inspectors. We handle it all.
Aprons typically wear out from a combination of heavy garbage truck loads, plow damage, and freeze-thaw. They need 6" of reinforced concrete (vs. 4" for a residential driveway), specific slope toward the gutter, and a saw-cut joint at the sidewalk. We pour to those specs on every job—and we don't get paid until the city inspector signs off. Call us at (206) 555-0182 for a free, written estimate.
