Ponce de Leon Boulevard Driveways in St. Petersburg

Ponce de Leon Boulevard cuts across central St. Petersburg with a mix of 1950s ranch lots, later additions, and side-load garages. The street itself is not the problem. The problem is a driveway that was built flat, then asked to drain toward a gutter that sits higher than the slab. PaverForge Hardscapes rebuilds those drives so water leaves the field instead of sitting against the garage door.

Crown versus single pitch

A long Ponce drive usually wants a mild crown so both edges can shed. A short, side-load drive often wants a single pitch to the street or to a side yard swale. We pick one and commit. Mixing both on the same field is how you get a birdbath in the middle.

• City apron and right-of-way rules still apply at the sidewalk.

• Utility lids in the field get collars so they can be raised later.

• Irrigation that crosses the dig is marked and sleeved before base goes down.

• 80mm pavers in herringbone for daily cars; running bond only on walks.

What we will not do

We will not glue a paver overlay onto a cracked slab that is still moving. If the concrete is failed, it comes out. If the soil under it is wet sugar sand, it gets fabric and a thicker base, not a thinner one.
