Aprons & Transitions

Driveway aprons and transitions are the hardest-working areas of your paved surface, where your driveway meets the street, garage, sidewalk, or other surfaces. These connection points endure the heaviest stress and most concentrated wear, making proper construction essential. Brothers Paving & Masonry builds aprons and transitions on Long Island that meet all local code requirements.

Many towns in Nassau and Suffolk County require concrete aprons regardless of your driveway material, with specific dimensions, thickness, and drainage requirements that vary by municipality. For concrete aprons, we install a minimum six-inch reinforced slab with air-entrained concrete rated for vehicular use. We also specialize in garage transitions (pitched away from the structure with channel drains to prevent flooding) and sidewalk crossings built to ADA standards.

Drainage is critical at transition points where water naturally collects. We incorporate channel drains, trench drains, or graded swales to capture and redirect runoff, protecting your garage and foundation from Long Island's heavy rainfall.
