Restoring Peace of Mind with a Driveway Apron Repair in Olive Branch, MS

After more than 30 years of dedicated service to her city, this homeowner was now faced with the responsibility of maintaining her home on her own following the passing of her husband, a contractor. Her biggest frustration was the driveway entry—a settling concrete apron over a culvert that had become both a physical jolt and an emotional eyesore. The two adjacent slabs had also begun to settle, creating an uneven surface she could feel every time she drove over it.

While she had future plans to upgrade the kitchen and add a patio cover, the driveway was a constant, unavoidable reminder of the work still to be done. We presented her with two repair options. Option 2 included sealing all cracks and joints to prevent weed growth—something she was highly interested in—but it stretched her budget. With upcoming renovations in mind, she opted for Option 1, which focused on restoring the main issue: leveling and repairing the driveway apron for a smoother, safer entry.

The result was a significant improvement in both function and curb appeal. While the existing concrete had minimal cracking, leveling the settling slabs and addressing the worst of the displacement brought immediate relief and satisfaction. We advised her to spray the weeds before installation to ensure long-term results. Now, she drives into her home without the jarring bump or visual frustration—and she can turn her attention to the exciting updates ahead.
