Aprons

Smooth Transitions. Solid Connections.

A concrete apron plays a small but critical role on your property. It’s the transitional area that connects your driveway to the garage, sidewalk, or street—and when it fails, it shows. Whether you’re installing a new apron or repairing a sunken one, Erickson Concrete builds strong, stable aprons that prevent trip hazards, manage water, and protect the edge of your garage or pavement.

As a trusted Minneapolis concrete contractor, we know what it takes to pour aprons that hold up year after year, even through harsh freeze-thaw cycles and heavy vehicle traffic.

Concrete Apron Installation in Minneapolis

We pour new aprons for driveways, parking lots, and commercial access points. Whether it’s a residential driveway-to-garage transition or a commercial apron at a loading zone or dumpster area, we handle the job from start to finish.

Our apron services include:

• New apron installation for residential and commercial properties
• Replacement of deteriorated or undersized aprons
• Driveway-to-garage transitions
• Concrete aprons at loading docks or commercial entrances
• Matching apron slopes and surfaces to surrounding concrete or asphalt

Every apron we pour is built on a compacted gravel base, reinforced as needed, and sloped for proper drainage. We tie it into adjacent surfaces with clean joints so everything drains and functions properly without movement or cracking.

Sunken Apron Repair

Sunken aprons are a common problem in the Minneapolis metro area, especially where driveways meet garage floors. Over time, shifting soil, poor base preparation, or water intrusion can cause the apron to settle and pull away from the garage, leaving a drop or gap that damages tires, creates tripping hazards, and allows water to enter your foundation.

We repair sunken aprons by:

• Removing the failed concrete
• Regrading and compacting the sub-base
• Installing a new reinforced apron
• Matching slope and elevation to eliminate bumps or gaps

Our repairs restore a smooth transition and prevent future settling by addressing the root cause.

Why It Matters

A properly built apron supports vehicle weight, protects structural edges, and directs water away from your home or building. Done wrong, it can lead to cracked driveways, wet garages, and costly foundation repairs. That’s why we approach every apron like a structural pour—not just a patch.
