What is an alternative to a concrete driveway apron?

• <div><p>Concrete is often the default material for a driveway apron, and many local building codes may require this. If you’re not restricted to concrete, however, you can consider alternative <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/driveway-apron-ideas.htm">driveway apron ideas</a>, such as asphalt, pavers, or gravel. You can also <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-stamp-concrete.htm">stamp the concrete</a> for an interesting texture, add color to the concrete for a little extra character, or add a swirled trowel finish to your concrete driveway apron. </p></div>

What kind of driveway can be exposed to water right after installation?

• <div><p>Gravel is <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-driveways.htm">one of the few driveway materials</a> that can handle rain the second it’s installed. Unlike asphalt, which needs days to set, or concrete, which requires weeks to cure, gravel is ready as soon as it’s compacted. It’s naturally permeable, allowing water to drain straight through—with no risk of pooling or surface damage. Gravel driveways are one of the most affordable, at <b>$1 to $3 per square foot</b>, and can also last upward of 100 years.</p></div>

What is the most economical driveway material?

• <div><p>Gravel driveways are the most economical driveway material, followed pretty closely by asphalt and concrete. At about <b>$1 to $3 per square foot, </b>gravel is about a third of the cost of either of the more common alternatives. But, not everyone likes the look and feel of the material and may opt to pay more for something that looks better.</p></div>

McFly came by as requested and gave us a very competitive bid. The work was done on time and to our satisfaction. They communicated very well with us and did a walk thru at the end of the job. We highly recommend McFly for pressure washing the house, driveway and sidewalks.

The driveway looks great. They couldn't help work being delayed because of rain. However, I do think the workers could have replaced my drain spout, hose, and bricks I had around flower boxes. They had plenty of time the last afternoon.

We have been paving St.louis and surrounding areas for 30 years. We are a family ran and operated business. We cover all asphalt needs. Give us a call today!

"Great. They addressed all our concerns about grading water away from the house. After multiple rains the grading has worked perfectly. Paid particular attention to creating clean and straight demarcation lines where asphalt met grass, essentially expanding width of the driveway 6 inches and created nice "flares" at the entrance to the driveway where the grass had been worn down. Before, the driveway looked like the hodge-podge of previous layers (two to three) of asphalt it was with very poor drainage. They dug up and carried away tons of old asphalt and graded. Now it looks neat and "buttoned up" as they would say. Friends of ours saw the completed job and had the guys come over to their home to get a quote to do their driveway."
