Apron Repair

Seamless Driveway Aprons Since 1985

Only the Best Apron Repairs for Your Home

A driveway isn't complete unless the apron is as smooth as the rest of the pavement. Our team at Expert Asphalt knows the annoyance of apron bumps, but it's not just the bump that can be a problem.

A driveway apron, the transition area connecting your driveway to your garage or the street, provides structural support, prevents water infiltration, and ensures a smooth ride for vehicles. However, over time, aprons can begin to sink or deteriorate, leading to potential issues for homeowners. Guarantee a seamless repair with our experts!

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.

What to Know Before Repairing Your Driveway Apron

A well-maintained apron eliminates hazards such as tripping hazards or vehicle damage while improving your property's overall curb appeal. Properly installed and repaired aprons prevent water pooling and reduce the risk of damage to your garage or driveway. 

Our apron repairs are designed to withstand Minnesota's challenging weather conditions, giving homeowners peace of mind for years. 

Here’s what else you should know about apron repairs: 

What Causes Asphalt to Sink? 

Driveway aprons sink due to soil settlement, water erosion, poor drainage, or the freeze-thaw cycle that causes repeated soil movement. These factors weaken the soil beneath the apron, resulting in uneven surfaces or sinking. 

However, the majority of settling at the apron area is caused by holes in the foundation blocks. Our experts provide minor foundation repairs for proper apron repairs and include that in our estimates.

What Issues Can Occur If You Don’t Repair Your Apron? 

Leaving a damaged or sinking apron unrepaired can lead to further complications, such as water infiltration, foundational damage to your driveway or garage, and an increased risk of accidents due to uneven surfaces or gaps. The longer you wait, the more extensive (and costly) the repairs may become. 

How Long Does the Repair Process Take? 

Most aprons can be repaired in a single day, even within a few hours. During your initial consultation, we’ll provide an accurate timeline. 

When Can You Drive on the Repaired Area Again? 

Typically, you can drive on the repaired area 48-72 hours after completion. This allows time for the asphalt to be properly set and cured for maximum durability. 

We recommend not parking on the area for a week to ensure no indentations or tire treads sink into the asphalt as it finishes curing.
