Squirrel Hill is one of Pittsburgh’s largest and most established residential neighborhoods, full of solid brick homes on hilly, tree-shaded streets. Driveways here have to contend with slopes, mature tree roots, and decades of Pittsburgh winters — often all at once. PrimePave repairs and replaces concrete driveways across Squirrel Hill with an approach that respects both the terrain and the homes.

Old Trees, Steep Streets, and Century Homes
The same mature trees that make Squirrel Hill beautiful are hard on its driveways. Roots lift slabs unevenly, creating trip hazards and cracks that widen every winter. Add the neighborhood’s grades — plenty of driveways here climb sharply from the street — and water plus de-icing salt gets funneled straight across the concrete for months at a time. On homes approaching or past the century mark, we frequently find original or very old concrete with no modern base underneath. Our repairs deal with the root cause where possible, and when replacement is the right call, we re-establish grade and base so the new driveway isn’t inheriting the old one’s problems. A slab that’s aged on the surface but sound underneath can often be resurfaced instead, keeping cost and disruption down.
