Paving, Concrete and Drainage in Newtown Square, PA

Working in Newtown Square

The township contains everything from long established neighborhoods to recent development on former estate and institutional land, so the work ranges from replacing driveways that have reached the end of a long life to correcting settlement on construction barely a decade old.

Larger properties toward the western and northern parts of the township bring longer driveways, where consistency of base along the full run and drainage planning across the whole length matter more than they do on a short suburban drive.

Mature tree cover across much of the township produces the familiar combination of root heave under hard surfaces and shaded areas that stay damp long after rain, both of which shorten the life of a surface that was otherwise built correctly.

The rolling terrain here generally provides enough fall for surfaces to drain, provided they are shaped to use it. Where they are not, the same slope concentrates water into exactly the places you would not choose.
