Maine Avenue NE Shore Acres Aprons

Maine Avenue NE aprons take the hit that the rest of the driveway does not. The first few feet at the curb see delivery trucks, boat trailers, and the standing water that collects where the city gutter meets a settled concrete lip.

Apron failures we see on this block

The common pattern is a concrete apron that cracked at the sidewalk joint, then a paver field that dropped behind it. Cars track sand onto Kentucky and Louisiana as the bedding pumps out. The sidewalk itself is city concrete, so the repair has to meet that joint cleanly.

We rebuild the apron band with a compacted base and a locked edge, then blend it into the existing driveway if the stones farther up the lot are still sound. The goal is a transition a trailer tongue can cross without rocking the first course.
