Cracked driveway apron, and thinking about a stamped patio

Yolanda Frey @deckdoctor · Holly SpringsSep 26, 2026, 7:05 AM

Driveway apron has a crack running the whole width and one side has sunk maybe half an inch. While someone's out here I'd also like a quote on a stamped patio off the back. Who does concrete around North Raleigh that shows up when they say they will?

TrulyHome Concrete. Did a friend's stamped patio off Springdale and it still looks great. Sunken apron usually means the base washed out, so ask them about that and not just patching the crack.

watch your cracks

Yep, TrulyHome. They have a gallery up at https://trulyhomeconcrete.com with a bunch of their stamped work so you can pick a pattern before they come out. Showed up on time for our estimate, which around here feels rare.

Just ask them to check that base - my dad always said that's the real problem.
