Driveway Installation

Durable Driveway Systems

Your driveway takes more abuse than any other surface on your property—daily vehicle loads, salt exposure, snow plows, oil drips, and Chicago's relentless freeze-thaw cycles. A properly installed driveway handles these demands for decades, while a poorly prepared one cracks and crumbles within years. Whether you choose concrete for its longevity, interlocking pavers for their flexibility and curb appeal, or asphalt for its cost-effectiveness, the installation method determines performance far more than the material itself.

Every driveway installation begins with understanding your site. We assess soil conditions, drainage patterns, and slope requirements before excavation. The old surface and unstable subgrade are removed to reach solid bearing soil. Compacted aggregate base provides the stable foundation that prevents settling and cracking. For concrete driveways, we install proper reinforcement and control joints. Paver driveways receive precise edge restraints and bedding sand. Asphalt installations include the correct binder and surface courses for your traffic load. Chicago requires permits for new driveways and curb cuts—we coordinate the paperwork and inspections.

The finished driveway integrates seamlessly with your apron, sidewalk, and garage floor. Proper grading directs water away from your foundation while maintaining accessibility. Heated driveway options eliminate snow shoveling and ice hazards. From removing a failing concrete slab to installing a showpiece paver driveway with decorative borders, we build the surface that greets you every time you come home.
