198th Street North St. Pete Aprons

198th Street North aprons take the same punishment as any north Pinellas approach: delivery trucks, summer cloudbursts, and a sand subgrade that pumps if it is not cut out. The failure shows up as a dip at the gutter and a first course that has walked.

Street joint first

We set the apron elevation off the existing approach, not off a wish for a flat photo. The field falls from the garage toward a legal outfall and meets the street without a ridge. Compacted aggregate goes in lifts. A rigid edge holds the street course.

  • Cut out soft sand instead of bridging it with extra bedding

  • Keep the apron clear of the public sidewalk joint if one exists

  • Through-body pavers so the tire path does not show a worn face

  • Joint sand only after the field is dry and locked

Sealing is a later conversation. A wet or dirty apron should not be sealed the day it is laid.

PaverForge Hardscapes walks 198th Street North before a number is locked. Call 727-490-9798 or book at https://www.paverforge.com/book-online.
