Please note:  you MUST submit an ACC Request for Approval form to the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) BEFORE you finalize a contract to replace your driveway, and the ACC must approve the proposed driveway replacement before the project can begin. 

Every driveway has cracks.  Cracks can be effectively sealed with an appropriate concrete caulk which may help prevent water seepage and freezing from making the cracks worse.  However, tree roots or concrete collapse causing deep unevenness which can be hazardous to walking or driving on the concrete means it is time to replace the driveway. 

When it comes to that point, also be aware of electrical, gas and water lines which may (and probably do) run under your driveway.  A crumbling driveway can cause a dangerous interruption in utility lines.

Think ahead.  Look for a good concrete contractor several months in advance.  Talk to your neighbors about contractors they may have used, or contact your TPALO Board for a list of concrete contractors.

From the very beginning, the Timberline Park Association of Lot Owners (TPALO) and the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) have always required all driveways to be replaced with exposed aggregate concrete just as they were originally made.   No exceptions have been made to this rule since 1985.  Our Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs), by which all homeowners have agreed to abide, require all driveways to be of exposed aggregate concrete.  For replacement, no other material will be approved.  

REMEMBER:

1. Turn in an ACC Request for Approval BEFORE you contract for any improvements to your home or landscaping.
2. If appropriate (and driveway replacement makes it appropriate), contact your utility company to mark utility lines before digging begins.
3. Driveways MUST be replaced with exposed aggregate concrete having a similar appearance as the typical exposed aggregate concrete driveways in Timberline Park.  Driveway replacement requires Architectural Control Committee approval.
4. Driveway decorative trim additions may be permissible if they conform to the general appearance and character of the Timberline Park neighborhood.  Decorative trim additions, or changes to existing decorative trim, require Architectural Control Committee approval.
