A driveway apron is an area that connects and provides a smooth transition from the street to the driveway, and from the driveway to the garage.
And if your apron starts to sink, it will not only detract from your property’s curb appeal, it can also pose serious danger.
Minor sunken aprons can cause trips and falls, inconvenience, and even damages to your vehicle. But when left unchecked, it can also compromise the integrity of your home and cause serious, irreversible damages.

Driveway aprons can sink due to a variety of reasons. It usually starts when a gap between the apron and the garage floor forms where water and other elements can penetrate. This can be due to poor construction, poorly settled gravel underneath, harsh weather conditions, or natural wear and tear after years of use.
A tiny gap can allow water to penetrate and once it does, over time, salt and water can degrade your driveway and your garage foundation while slowly creating sinkholes and empty cavities.
This is a serious threat to the structural integrity of your driveway, your garage, and even your whole property’s facade.
