Townhouse Driveways South Riding & Stone Ridge VA

Who replaces townhouse shared driveways in South Riding and Stone Ridge, VA?

JP Companies, Inc., a Virginia Class A contractor (#2705118509) and family-owned since 2007, takes townhouse and shared driveway work for associations and owners in South Riding, Stone Ridge and across Northern Virginia. The old surface is hauled away and the new driveway is 4” of 4,000 PSI concrete with 6” x 6” welded wire mesh on 2–4” of compacted stone.

Shared Townhouse Driveways

Many townhouse rows share their paving: one driveway or parking court serves several homes, and the space in front of each garage is only as good as the slab under it. When it cracks, sinks or breaks up, every owner who uses it feels it.

We work for both sides of that: for the association that owns and maintains a shared driveway, and for the owner of a single townhouse driveway.

Built Like Our Single-Family Driveways

A homeowner’s own townhouse driveway gets the same build as our single-family driveways. Miss Utility (811) marks the utilities, the old asphalt or concrete is broken out and hauled away, and the sub-grade is prepared. Form boards set the edges and the fall for drainage, 2–4” of 21A or 57 stone is compacted, and the 6” x 6” welded wire mesh goes in before 4” of 4,000 PSI concrete.

Where the driveway meets an existing garage slab, #4 rebar ties the two together, where that applies. Control joints every 8–10 feet and expansion joints give the concrete room to move, and the slip-resistant broom finish is our standard.

Townhouse Driveway Rules and HOA Approval

In a townhouse community, the association’s standards come before the concrete. In South Riding, the South Riding Proprietary’s standards need no approval to replace a driveway in the material the builder put in, but they do require approval for a different material and for new or changed driveways.

In Stone Ridge, the association’s Community Code #1 calls for driveways and parking pads of asphalt or other approved special paving and needs no application to maintain an approved one, but in attached housing it does not allow driveways or parking pads to be added or altered.

Other communities have rules of their own; look for them on the association’s website, and get the written approval before the work is scheduled.

Width, Length and Extensions

A townhouse driveway’s size is set by the lot, the community’s original layout and the association’s standards, not only by what fits. Within those limits, a driveway can sometimes be made longer or wider at the time it is replaced.

Frequently Asked Questions

What decides a townhouse driveway’s width?

The lot, the community’s original layout and the association’s standards. A driveway can sometimes be widened when it is replaced, within those limits and with the association’s approval.

How do neighbors get in and out during the work?

Cars park elsewhere until the concrete can carry them, which is 7–10 days after the pour; people can walk on it after 24 hours.

Can a townhouse driveway be extended?

Sometimes, within the lot and the association’s standards; our driveway widening and extensions page covers the options.

Who pays for a shared driveway?

The community’s documents decide. In some communities the association owns and maintains shared driveways; in others, the owners who share one split the cost. Your association’s documents or your manager will say which.
