Is Your Driveway Apron Showing Signs of Wear and Tear?

Are cracks and crumbling edges making your driveway apron an eyesore? Wondering what your options are for a smooth and safe entrance to your home? Let’s delve into the world of driveway apron removal and discover why it might be the solution you’re looking for.

What is Driveway Apron Removal?

The driveway apron is the transitional area between the sidewalk and the driveway, typically made of concrete or asphalt. Over time, due to factors like weather, heavy vehicles, and wear, it can deteriorate, leading to safety hazards and aesthetic concerns.

Why is it Essential in Residential Homes?

A well-maintained driveway apron not only enhances the curb appeal of your home but also ensures safety for vehicles entering and exiting the driveway. By removing the old and damaged apron, you can prevent further deterioration and maintain the overall integrity of your driveway.

Types of Driveway Apron Removal

➔ Concrete Aprons:

Advantages: Concrete aprons are durable and can withstand heavy loads, making them ideal for high-traffic areas. They offer a smooth surface and are relatively low maintenance compared to other materials.
Considerations: Concrete can crack over time due to factors like freeze-thaw cycles and soil movement. Proper installation and regular maintenance are essential to prolong its lifespan.

➔ Asphalt Aprons:

Advantages: Asphalt aprons are flexible and can adapt to slight ground movements, reducing the likelihood of cracking. They are also cost-effective and quicker to install compared to concrete.
Considerations: Asphalt is prone to deterioration from sunlight and oil leaks, requiring periodic sealing and maintenance to prevent cracks and potholes.

➔ Paver Stone Aprons:

Advantages: Paver stone aprons offer a customizable and aesthetically pleasing option for driveway entrances. They come in various colors, shapes, and patterns, allowing homeowners to create unique designs.
Considerations: While paver stones are durable, they may shift over time, especially in regions with extreme weather conditions or heavy vehicle traffic. Proper installation with a sturdy base is crucial to minimize movement and maintain stability.

Why Choose Driveway Apron Removal?

When considering driveway apron removal, it’s essential to focus on the benefits it brings rather than the company performing the service. Removing the old apron can:

Improve Safety

Cracks and uneven surfaces pose tripping hazards for pedestrians and can cause damage to vehicles.

Enhance Aesthetics

A new, smooth apron can instantly boost the curb appeal of your home, making it more inviting.

Prevent Further Damage

Addressing issues early through removal can prevent more extensive and costly repairs down the line.

Our driveway has never looked or function as well as it does now. Mr. Rice and the entire BCG Team were both professional and knowledgeable. They were very detail oriented and ensured the work met the highest standard. It was such an outstanding experience working with BCG that we are planning our patio project!

BCG Construction was a pleasure to work with and did a great job on our patio addition. From the initial meeting to receive a quote through completion they were on time and got the job done in a timely manner. Would recommend BCG for any concrete work.

Unbelievable great experience! Fantastic quality, hard workers that knew what they were doing and great communication. Not only did an amazing good job, they picked up well and even spread grass seed across the lawn where they worked. Price was well worth what I got and will have them back asap.

Gregory and his crew did a wonderful job on our concrete. We had two pads poured and they both show excellent craftsmanship. The crew was very courteous and respectful leaving the area looking better than before.

Great company! Gregory did everything that he said he would do. He was on time every single time! His guys are very knowledgeable and really care about their work. They kept adjacent surfaces clean as well. I am very happy with the way my project turned out! LL

I ruined my sidewalks by using salt on them to melt the ice - they absorbed the salt then expanded, blowing lots of chunks out of them so I decided to replace them since they looked so bad. Unlike other companies, Gregory with BCG responded quickly to my request for estimate. He impressed me with his knowledge and promised that he would be able to minimize damage to my lawn so I decided to go with him even though he was a bit higher on price. He was willing to work with me so I asked him to put in two PVC culverts I had under my new sidewalk so the yard runoff could drain properly - and he did; I also had a bad spot on my garage foundation where rain water would pool next to my garage and rot my wood structure - he cut out a portion of my foundation and crafted the new cement so the water would gently drain from the bad spot and solve my problems. It all looks great! He was able to minimize damage to my lawn as promised and they cleaned up nicely after all the work was done. Since I was afraid the UPS guy might walk across the newly poured cement to lay a package on my porch, he even posted warning tape along the walk to help avoid that problem.

Greg was very knowledgeable and had great suggestions for my job. He gave me a start date and a completion date and then he and his crew did exactly what he said they would do. They removed my existing patio and replaced it with a much larger patio to be used as a basketball court among other things. They also installed the concrete base and anchor bolts for my basketball goal. They worked very hard. They were very courteous, and I enjoyed interacting with them. The concrete looks great. They did a great job. It was a pleasure to work with Greg. I highly recommend BCG Construction.

I have been wanting to surprise my husband for a while with a refinished driveway but was unsure whether I could pull it off during his short work trip. After previously receiving an estimate I decided to call up Gregory at BCG Construction and see what he could do. He was able to take our driveway from an eyesore to a beautiful flat surface that compliments our landscaping. All of this was completed in 2 days. I would recommend anyone to use him for reliable, timely service.
