45th Avenue South St. Pete Paver Approaches

Driveway approaches on 45th Avenue South near Lakewood meet a sidewalk that the city has already lifted in places. PaverForge Hardscapes rebuilds the throat so the pavers lock to that sidewalk instead of bridging over a void.

An older concrete apron here often drops at the curb and heaves at the sidewalk. We cut the failed apron back, set an 80mm paver throat on a compacted base, and keep the cross-slope so stormwater stays in the gutter.

Oak roots along this block will lift a thin overlay. If a root is in the approach, we account for it in the base rather than paving over it and waiting for the next heave.

The shop is in St. Pete Beach. We also rebuild approaches in Lakewood Estates and south St. Petersburg from the same crew. Call 727-490-9798 with a photo of the sidewalk joint and the curb cut.
