Who you need to ask
The road in front of your house decides who controls your apron. On a local street, it's your municipality. On a county road, Allegheny County Public Works may be involved. On a state route, a driveway change may need a PennDOT highway occupancy permit. These can take weeks, so give yourself time. See driveway apron for what the work involves.
Local zoning can also limit width and paving. Tell us your address, and we'll find out which of these applies.
Some parts of the county also sit above old coal mines, and subsidence can crack slabs and shift lots. If your home has a history of it, tell us, and consider a mine subsidence policy through the state if you don't have one. Landslide-prone slopes are common too, especially in the older hillside towns. In most other ways, driveways here share the same needs: an air-entrained mix, a compacted stone base, good joints and somewhere for the water to go.
