Concrete in Lenexa, old town to City Center
Lenexa's homeowners are responsible for the strip between the sidewalk and the street, and a lot of what we fix in Lenexa starts right there, where the approach meets the city's curb.
Lenexa has an old downtown around Santa Fe Trail Drive and Pflumm, a middle ring of 1970s and 80s subdivisions between 87th and 95th, and the newer streets west of I-435 around City Center, Prairie Star Parkway and Cedar Creek Parkway that filled in after 2000. The concrete problems follow the age: patched and scaled driveways and heaved walks on the older streets, production driveways settling at the garage on the newer ones, and patios everywhere that catch the downspout and heave on the clay.
The City is specific about the right-of-way. It usually runs from the sidewalk to the street, about 11 feet behind the curb, and the homeowner maintains it. Trees, a mailbox and irrigation can go in without a permit; excavation beyond that, including a driveway approach, needs the City's right-of-way permit, and utility locates are required before any digging. Nothing permanent, no retaining walls and no fences are allowed in it. We pull the permit, call the locates two days ahead, and build the approach to the City's details. West Lenexa's subdivisions almost all have an HOA, and we send the architectural committee its drawing before we schedule.

Questions from Lenexa homeowners
Who maintains the strip between the sidewalk and the street?
You do, by the City's rules: mowing, trees and irrigation. Any excavation there, including a driveway approach, needs the City's right-of-way permit and utility locates first.
Can I pour a wider driveway?
On your lot, usually yes with the HOA's approval if you have one. Widening the approach at the street is right-of-way work and goes through the City.
My patio has heaved at the back door. Why?
Usually a downspout dumping at the edge, swelling the clay under it. We fix the water first, then lift or replace the slab.
Do you serve west Lenexa?
Yes, out to Cedar Creek Parkway and K-10, and north to Shawnee.
