Driveway Apron Repair: Fixing That Sink
Sinking aprons are a common issue and can happen for several reasons. The primary cause is often the settling of the soil beneath the apron. This can occur due to natural soil compaction over time or poor initial construction. Additional contributing factors include water erosion, inadequate drainage, and the freeze-thaw cycle, which are particularly prevalent in Minnesota’s climate.
Sinking along the garage edges or at the street side can create hazardous gaps, uneven surfaces, and drainage issues that compromise your driveway's appearance and structural integrity.
