Driveway Replacement in University Park

University Park's paving rules

University Park limits how much of a lot can be covered by hard surfaces, and the limit depends on the zoning and the lot size. A few points that shape driveway work:

• Paving in the required front yard is capped at 50 percent of that yard
• Driveways in the required front yard do not count toward the total lot coverage
• Everything else, like a side pad or a wide parking area out back, does count
• Pea gravel is not allowed, and the old 50 percent credit for masonry pavers is gone

Before we draw a bigger driveway or a new parking pad, we check it against your lot's limit.

Approaches and the right-of-way office

Work in the street or the parkway goes through the city's right-of-way office, not Dallas. The city wants notice before work starts and a call before concrete is placed so an inspector can check it and see the concrete mix. We schedule those calls and have the mix paperwork from the plant ready. Many University Park lots have alleys too, and alley aprons get the same care at the edge as anywhere else in our alley driveway work.

Questions about driveway work in University Park

Does University Park count my driveway against lot coverage?

A driveway in the required front yard does not count toward total coverage, but front-yard paving is capped at half of that yard. Other paving does count.

Do you handle the University Park inspection?

Yes. We call the right-of-way office ahead of time and before the pour, and we provide the concrete mix information they ask for.
