120th Street North St. Pete driveway aprons

120th Street North aprons take the same beating as the rest of this west St. Pete grid: gutter water, delivery trucks, and a sandy base that settles under a thin concrete lip. When the apron dips, the street drains into the driveway after a hard rain.

Pitch and the sidewalk joint

The repair starts at the sidewalk, not at the garage. We match the city walk elevation, then build a paver apron that rises just enough to keep gutter flow out of the driveway and still lets a car enter without a scrape. Soldier courses take the tire wear. A compacted base replaces the washed sand under the old slab.

When the driveway should come with it

• The field pavers or concrete beyond the apron are already rocking.

• Water stands in the tire tracks after a normal afternoon storm.

• The garage threshold is lower than the street gutter.

• Previous asphalt patches have crumbled at the joint.
