Designing & Building Bridge Driveways for Homeowners Local to Montclair Village in Oakland, CA

A lot of homes in the Montclair, California, area are reached with a bridge driveway, as it allows the home to have its garage on the street side and the family room and deck on the view side. But because of some of the damp environments throughout the Bay Area, these driveways must be properly constructed and maintained. The good news is that you have Schafer Construction to turn to for the design and construction of your bridge driveway. Over the years, we’ve completed countless projects of this exact type over our decades in business. Whether you need us to design and build a new bridge driveway or you’re looking for help in saving the existing one on your property, you can count on our expert team.

What’s the Purpose of a Bridge Driveway & What Challenges Do They Solve?

You might be wondering what the point of a bridge driveway is, and the reality is that as much as it serves a purpose for your home’s layout, there are other aesthetic and practical purposes it serves. Aesthetically, a bridge driveway can be an architectural feature that acts as a stunning focal point for your home’s exterior. It adds a certain level of character to a property—and it’s not a feature that every home has. Not only that, but these bridge driveways integrate with landscaping, so as much attention as it draws as a focal point, the way it complements and enhances the natural beauty of its surroundings is another big plus for your home’s curb appeal.

When it comes to the practicality of bridge driveways, they are useful both in terms of overcoming an uneven terrain and improving the accessibility of distant areas. On that first point, these structures can help you safely cross a natural obstacle, whether it’s a stream, ravine, or uneven ground. And having a bridge driveway built can help preserve the natural features of your yard rather than destroying them to build a standard path or driveway. In terms of accessibility, a bridge driveway can link different parts of your property for vehicles or pedestrians—especially when it comes to harsh weather conditions or flooding in low-lying areas.
