Concrete sidewalk contractor in Deltona: swales, culverts and the apron
Where your street drains to a roadside swale, Code Sec. 96-100 protects it. A driveway must follow mild roadside swales and keep positive drainage. If a swale or ditch can't be matched, a pipe goes under the driveway, at least 15 inches in diameter, with FDOT mitered end sections in city rights-of-way.
The same section sets the apron. At the street right-of-way line, residential driveway width runs from 10 feet minimum to 24 feet maximum. A curb opening can't exceed the driveway width by more than 5 feet on each side, and driveways must be paved within the right-of-way along existing paved roads. Concrete residential driveways are at least 6 inches thick without reinforcement. Right-of-way approaches use 2,500 psi concrete at least 6 inches thick.
A sidewalk crossing the apron sits inside that driveway, so we pour it to those numbers. That makes a crossing thicker than a plain walk, and it gets its own line on our estimate.
