Does the area that connects your driveway to your garage need some repairs? This part of your driveway is known as the garage apron. A garage apron keeps your driveway and garage properly aligned, providing a smooth transition between the two areas. Over time, your driveway can begin to sink, causing a gap of space in your asphalt that can create damage to your driveway and garage floor. By keeping your garage apron in tip top shape, this will limit the damage that occurs on your driveway or garage floor. If you are in the Minnesota or Wisconsin area and your garage apron is in poor shape, leave your garage apron repair up to the professionals. Our specialists at Seal King Professional Sealcoating can handle all of your apron repairs, whether they are small or large.

Garage Apron Repair Process

With more than 25 years of experience handling garage apron repairs and asphalt sealcoating services, we’ve been able to develop a proven process when it comes to repairing your driveway. When it comes to garage apron repair, we take the following steps to ensure that your garage apron gets back to full health:

● Measure – The first step is to draw a straight chalk line 2-3 feet away from your garage.
● Cutting – Using highly effective diamond blade asphalt saws, we’ll cut along the chalk line.
● Get Rid of Old Asphalt – Next, our repair team will remove the damaged part of your garage apron.
● Filler for Foundation Holes – If foundation holes found during the repair process, we’ll fill them tightly with fresh gravel.
● Brand New Base Gravel – Additionally, we’ll apply Class V base gravel to the area of your garage apron that has been cut out.
● Fresh Asphalt – Next step in this process is apply hot asphalt mix so the area is leveled back to its original height.
● Compaction – Once the new asphalt is laid, plate compactors and asphalt rollers make sure that the new asphalt is fully compact. This step is what creates the clean, slick new look.
● Clean Up – After our work is done, we’ll clean up the area to ensure that all debris is removed.
● Protective Barrier – For 24-36 hours, we’ll banner off the repaired area so that it can settle.
