396th Street North Palm Harbor Driveway Aprons

396th Street North aprons show the same washout as the rest of this north-county grid: the first courses rock, the sidewalk joint opens, and the garage threshold stays wet after a rain. The color of the stone is not the failure.

Match the sidewalk, do not bridge it

We saw the apron to the sidewalk joint and set the pavers so a tire does not bridge a high lip. Aggregate goes down in lifts. Edge restraint is anchored, not laid on the surface. 80mm stone is the driveway spec.

The garage joint

If the slab is the high point, the apron pitches to the street. If the street is high, we look at a trench or a swale before we lock a field that would send water into the garage. That call is made on the lot, not from a photo alone.
