This fits when
When driveway apron work in Fayetteville is next
The apron has settled below the street edge
Water pools there and freezes. Measure the drop and photograph the edge from the side.
Your street carries a state or county route sign
A small share of village road is county or state. Say which sign you see when you ask for a quote.
A neighbor's apron looks newer
Newer concrete at the curb may mean a permit was involved. Ask the village office.
The curb is broken as well as the apron
A broken curb may be the road owner's matter. Send photos of both before anything is priced.
Questions
Driveway apron questions from Fayetteville homeowners
- 1
Who decides what happens at my apron in Fayetteville?
On a village street, ask the village. On a county road, the county decides, and on a state road, the state. Check your street sign and ask the village code office which one you have.
- 2
How much of Fayetteville's road is county or state?
1.5 miles are county road and 2.6 are state road, out of 23.5 miles. The other 19.5 are village streets.
- 3
Can I fix the apron myself first and ask later?
Do not. Cutting first and asking later is the wrong order. Ask first, and have the contractor name who applies.
- 4
Does the curb come with the apron?
They are separate parts. A broken curb may belong to the road owner, so photograph both and ask which office handles each.

How the village's roads split between owners
The village has 23.5 miles of road: 19.5 are village streets, 2.6 are state routes and 1.5 are county roads. More than four in five village road miles are the village's own.
That points the answer for most addresses. If your apron sits on a village street, the village is your first call. If it sits on one of the 1.5 county miles or 2.6 state miles, a different owner decides, and a village phone call will not settle it.
Want the paperwork checklist?
Where the road is a county road, you answer for the drive between the edge of the right of way and the pavement or curb. That puts the apron on you, but the county still decides how it is built, so ask before you hire.
Do not assume your frontage
A few Fayetteville addresses front a county or state road, and the 2017 report is the latest count, so check your own street rather than assume.
Tell us the address and the problem.
Photograph the street sign at your corner and the curb line in front of your house. Then ask the village code office which of the three owns the road at your frontage, and write the answer on the quote before the contractor starts.
Do not rely on a neighbor's story or an old curb. Frontage can change from one house to the next along the same street, so confirm yours.
Basis: Onondaga County
The call to make before the cutting
The village's code officer asks owners to call before repairs, alterations or additions. A broken apron is a repair at the edge of your lot, so ask whether it counts, and ask which office wants to see the work.
Book the introduction first.
While you are on the line, ask what the first winter will do to a new apron. Plows and salt hit the curb line first, so ask the contractor for the air content, the pour month and how long the apron stays closed to cars.
