New Driveways and Replacements
We pour new driveways and replace old ones across Naperville and the surrounding suburbs. Standard 4-inch residential pours, 6-inch for heavy vehicles, built to spec for the load. Apron permits handled where needed.
Most driveways are between 600 and 1,200 square feet. We work on everything from a single-car drive to a 3-car-plus side approach.
Driveway Replacement or Repair: How to Tell Which You Need
Surface problems and structure problems look similar from the porch. Scaling (the top layer flaking off), hairline crazing, and one or two narrow cracks are surface issues. A slab with those can often wait or take spot repairs. Cracks wider than a quarter inch, corners that have dropped, panels that rock under the car, or a slab that has settled where it meets the garage are structural. That concrete is telling you the base under it failed, and nothing you do to the surface fixes the base.
Our rule on it is simple. If more than a third of the panels are cracked or settled, replacement beats patching on cost per year of life. Tear-out sounds drastic but it is the short part of the job: break, haul, regrade, compact new stone, and the forms go right back up.
If the slab is sound and it's the look you want to change, a full replacement is also the moment to consider a stamped concrete driveway, since stamping only happens on fresh concrete.

Naperville Driveway Permits and the City Spec
Naperville requires a driveway permit for a new driveway and for reconstructing an existing one, filed through the city's Civic Access portal. The apron, the flare where your driveway meets the street, sits in the public right of way, and work there runs under a right-of-way permit with a plan review the city quotes at 14 calendar days. We pull these permits on the jobs we pour; it's built into the quote.
The city spec is specific and we build to it. Residential driveways run 9 to 20 feet wide at the property line, and the apron can flare 2 extra feet per side up to 24 feet total at the street. In the right of way the city requires 6 inches of concrete over 2 inches of compacted stone, with no reinforcement allowed in that section, while the private side is poured at 4 inches with wire mesh or rebar. Aprons and public sidewalk can only be poured April 15 through November 15.
Two more things owners rarely hear up front. The city holds you, not the city, responsible for maintaining everything from the property line to the street, including the sidewalk squares your driveway crosses. And a stamped or colored apron needs a separate encroachment agreement with the city before anyone pours.
Driveways We've Poured
Driveway FAQ
How long does a new driveway take?
Most pours happen in a single day. Site prep (tearing out the old slab, grading, setting forms) usually adds another day. From start of work to a usable driveway is typically 3–5 days when you factor in curing time.
Do I need a permit?
Usually yes for full replacements or new pours that touch the public apron. We handle Naperville permitting on the jobs we do. That's part of the quote, not an extra fee. Resurfacing or repair work over an existing slab often doesn't need one.
How thick should my driveway be?
4 inches is standard for residential cars and light trucks. We pour 6 inches if you have heavy vehicles like an RV, contractor truck, or boat trailer. Every driveway we pour is reinforced with wire mesh or rebar depending on the pour spec.
How long before I can park on it?
Walk on it after 24–48 hours. Park on it after 7 days. Full design strength takes 28 days but you can use it normally before then.
What base goes under a new driveway?
Compacted crushed stone, CA-6 grade. 2 inches minimum under the private slab, and the same compacted base under the apron per city spec. On lots where the ground holds water we thicken the stone layer, because base failure is what kills driveways here, not the concrete itself.
Can you pour a driveway in winter?
December through March, mostly no. The city closes apron and sidewalk work from November 15 to April 15, and we don't pour on frozen ground at any price. In the shoulder weeks we pour with cold protection: blankets or poly over the slab for the first 96 hours and a mix adjusted for the temperature.
Will the new driveway match my existing walkway?
Not at first. New concrete cures lighter, and your old flatwork has 10 or 20 years of weathering on it. They drift toward each other over a couple of seasons, but an exact match isn't honest to promise. If matching matters, that's the argument for replacing the front walk at the same time; it's cheaper as one mobilization anyway.
