  • Choosing Between Concrete Asphalt

    Concrete and asphalt both have their benefits and when choosing between the two, it often comes down to personal preference and what fits within your budget. For this reason, we offer both and are willing to help you determine which is right for the specific needs of your business or space. Concrete has the ability to be enhanced in unique ways that asphalt cannot. It also has an extensive life with proper upkeep and care.

A well-built concrete apron or transition isn’t just a finishing touch it’s a functional and visual link between your driveway, garage, street, or sidewalk. At Larsco Construction, we specialize in residential concrete aprons and transitions that improve curb appeal, drainage, and vehicle access for homes in Akron, Cuyahoga Falls, and nearby communities.


Whether your existing apron is cracked, sunken, or improperly sloped, we provide precision replacements and new installations that meet both municipal guidelines and homeowner needs. Our team ensures your concrete transitions are smooth, safe, and built to last.

What Is A Concrete Apron Or Transition?

A concrete apron is the section of concrete located where your driveway meets another surface often a garage floor, sidewalk, alley, or street. It's the "transition zone" that helps your vehicle move from one surface to another without bouncing, scraping, or catching edges.


Transitions also help divert water away from critical areas and prevent premature cracking in adjoining materials. Whether it’s between a garage slab and driveway, or between a driveway and roadway, properly constructed aprons are essential for both durability and appearance.

Why Homeowners Need Apron Replacement Or Installation

Over time, driveways and garage slabs settle, crack, or separate. You might notice a drop between surfaces, pooling water, or erosion near the connection points. These problems can lead to:

  • Vehicle damage due to height differences
  • Trip hazards for pedestrians
  • Water intrusion into the garage or under the slab
  • Uneven wear that shortens driveway life
  • A worn, unsightly entry that lowers curb appeal


Our apron services address all these issues by leveling the area, reinforcing the concrete, and ensuring long-term performance under repeated traffic and freeze-thaw cycles.

Common Types Of Concrete Aprons We Install

  • Garage Aprons

    Installed at the base of your garage where it meets the driveway. This area sees frequent stress from vehicles entering and exiting our reinforced aprons help distribute that load evenly.

  • Driveway-to-Street Transitions

    Located at the foot of your driveway where it meets the road or sidewalk. A properly sloped and leveled apron here prevents tire bounce and keeps water from backing up.

  • Sidewalk Transitions & Approaches

    These transitions smooth the grade between your walkway and driveway or between sidewalk and curb, ensuring ADA-friendly movement and visual continuity.

Our Installation Process: Built For Longevity

  • Assessment & Design

    We start by inspecting the failing area or proposed layout. Whether replacing an apron or building a new one, we evaluate the grade, soil condition, slope, and nearby structures.

  • Removal & Base Preparation

    Old or broken concrete is removed carefully. We excavate the area and install a compacted aggregate base to provide a stable foundation. Proper compaction is key for longevity.

  • Sidewalk Transitions & Approaches

    These transitions smooth the grade between your walkway and driveway or between sidewalk and curb, ensuring ADA-friendly movement and visual continuity.

  • Finishing & Curing

    After finishing, we seal and cure the surface. You’ll be advised when the apron can safely bear foot and vehicle traffic. We clean up the site and ensure smooth blending with adjoining surfaces.

Benefits Of A New Concrete Apron Or Transition

  • Eliminates gaps and trip hazards
  • Protects garage and driveway from water damage
  • Provides smoother access for cars
  • Enhances visual continuity
  • Reinforces high-stress areas to prevent future cracks

Customization Options

We offer apron and transition finishes that can match or complement your existing driveway:


  • Smooth broom finish for traction
  • Decorative edges or borders
  • Color tinting for style and contrast
  • Stamped texture (optional for visual flair)


If you're installing alongside a driveway replacement or sidewalk upgrade, we’ll coordinate the finishes for a cohesive final result.

Maintenance Tips For Long-lasting Results

Your concrete apron or transition is a high-wear area, but you can keep it in great shape with basic care:


  • Avoid de-icing salts during the first winter
  • Seal within 6–12 months after curing, then every 3–5 years
  • Rinse regularly to remove dirt, salt, or oil
  • Use plastic-edged tools for snow removal to avoid scratching



Larsco Construction can also reseal or repair aprons over time even if we didn’t install them originally.
