Concrete Driveway Apron in Athens, Ohio
Gravel washing into the street and potholes at an Athens driveway entrance were fixed with a reinforced concrete apron tying the drive into the road.
The Challenge
Gravel kept washing from this Athens home's driveway out into the street, and the entrance had become full of potholes. The transition between a gravel drive and the road takes a lot of wear from turning tires and runoff, and loose gravel there simply would not stay put. The homeowner needed a durable entrance that would hold up.
What We Did
Our crew excavated the driveway entrance and compacted a solid stone base to support the new concrete. A firm base matters at an entrance, where vehicles turn and brake and the slab takes more stress than most of the driveway.
We then formed and poured a reinforced concrete apron that ties the gravel driveway into the road. The apron gives the home a clean, durable entrance and keeps gravel on the driveway where it belongs instead of in the street.
- Excavated the driveway entrance
- Compacted a solid stone base
- Formed the concrete apron
- Poured a reinforced apron tied into the road
The Result
The home now has a clean, solid concrete apron at the driveway entrance in place of potholes and loose gravel. Gravel stays on the driveway, and the entrance is built on a compacted base to handle daily traffic.
