New and replacement driveways
Concrete Driveways in Blue Island
The old, broken drive gone, a strong new one in its place and your yard cleaned up before we leave.
A Driveway You Do Not Have to Think About
Most worn-out driveways tell the same story. The concrete was a little too thin, the gravel underneath was skimpy or missing, and after enough winters of freezing, thawing and salt, it cracked, sank and started breaking apart at the edges. Replacing it is a chance to do it right. We break out the old drive and haul every piece away. Then we dig out soft soil and lay in a thick layer of gravel, packing it down so the new slab has solid support. Rebar rides on plastic chairs, keeping it centered in the pour. The slab is poured thicker than a patio or walk, and thicker still if you park a truck, a trailer or a camper. We cut control joints at the right spacing so any cracking follows a straight line, and we give it a broom finish for traction in snow. Every driveway we pour carries an 8-month warranty on cracks larger than 1/8 inch: if one appears, we patch and fill it with a concrete repair sealant. Plenty of Blue Island drives run back along the house to a garage on the alley, and we work carefully along those narrow runs so the siding, fences and flower beds stay untouched.
