Local Conditions
What Damages Driveways in Roxbury?
Driveways in this small coastal community face salt air, sand, standing water and soft ground. Lots are small, so most driveways are short parking pads beside bungalows and small houses. Still, they crack, flake and settle like any slab, and often faster.
Salt in the air settles on the concrete and breaks the surface. In winter, water in small cracks freezes and enlarges them. Sand blown across the surface wears it down like sandpaper.
Ground on the Jamaica Bay side is low. After Hurricane Sandy, many homes here were rebuilt or raised, and the ground around them was often filled or graded. A parking pad on loose fill will sink under the weight of a car.
Winter adds frost. Water that gets into a small crack freezes and expands, and by spring the crack is wider. Sealing cracks early, before the first freeze, is a low cost way to extend the life of a slab.
Streets inside the community are narrow and private, so a driveway may open onto a lane, not a public street. That affects which rules apply to the edge of the slab.
Should You Repair or Replace a Parking Pad?
Repair a slab that is level and solid with only surface damage. Replace one that has cracked through, sunk or tilted. Patching a moving slab wastes money. We look at the base and tell you which one your driveway needs.
Signs the slab can be saved
Hairline cracks, light flaking and small chips on a firm slab can be sealed or resurfaced. That protects the concrete from more salt and water.
Signs it needs replacing
A section that has dropped, a crack with edges at different heights or a slab that rocks all point to a base problem. A new slab on a rebuilt base fixes the cause.
What about heavy loads?
Most pads here carry one passenger vehicle. If you park a truck, a trailer or a boat, tell us, and we will build the slab thicker and reinforce it for that load.
Raised homes sit higher, so the grade from the lane to the pad may have changed. We check that the new slab pitches away from the house.
Send a photo of your parking pad and tell us what has cracked or sunk.

FAQ
Roxbury Driveway Questions
The soil under it is probably loose or washed out. A new slab on a rebuilt base lasts longer than a patch.
Check with your cooperative. Many ask for approval of outside work, and we can provide what they need.
Yes. We set the pitch when we form the slab so water leaves toward the lane or a lawn.
Usually not. Seal it so salt water stays out, and see whether it widens.
