Concrete & Driveways in Burlington City, NJ

Free referral service. A partner contractor contacts you directly.

Small lots, big logistics

Much of Burlington City was laid out long before cars. Homes in and around the historic downtown often sit close to the sidewalk, with small backyards reached by an alley, if at all. For concrete work, that shapes everything:

  • Truck access. A concrete truck may not be able to reach a backyard. Concrete might be pumped through a line or moved by wheelbarrow, which affects time and cost.
  • Street space. Parking a truck, pump or dumpster on a narrow city street may need permission from the city. Ask the contractor who arranges it.
  • Shared walls and walks. On rowhomes and twins, steps and walks can adjoin a neighbor's. Agree with your neighbor in writing before work starts along a shared line.

Sidewalks and front steps

Front steps and the public sidewalk are the most common requests in older river towns. Sidewalk work in the right of way generally needs a city permit and must meet the city's standards. Steps attached to the house can involve building code requirements for risers, treads and railings. On a historic street, ask the city whether a visible change, like new steps or a new material, needs historic district review.

River conditions

Low areas near the Delaware River and Assiscunk Creek are in mapped flood hazard areas. If a slab will sit in an area that floods, tell the contractor; drainage and base design matter more there. You can check your address on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center.

Route 130

Properties fronting Route 130 are on a state highway, so a new or modified driveway access there falls under the New Jersey Department of Transportation, not only the city.

Covering all of Burlington City

Requests come in from the historic downtown, the Riverbank and promenade blocks and the neighborhoods off Route 130, and from streets along High Street, Broad Street, Riverbank, Wood Street, Pearl Street and Route 130 (ZIP 08016). The City of Burlington area sits near the Delaware River and Assiscunk Creek, so mention in your request if your property is low-lying or close to the water.

Do I need a permit to replace my front sidewalk?

Work in the public right of way usually needs a city permit and has to meet city standards. Call the city or ask your contractor.
