Concrete Driveways in Palos Hills That Refresh the Front of the House

Stand across the street from your house and look. The driveway is probably the largest surface you see. When it is stained, patched or sinking, it drags down everything around it. When it is fresh, even and crisp at the edges, the whole house looks newer. That is the visual payoff. The lasting payoff comes from what is underneath. First the old drive gets jackhammered and carted off. Then we dig out any soft pockets and build a bed of crushed stone, tamped layer by layer. Expect roughly 5 inches of concrete for everyday cars, more for a heavy pickup, with steel inside and a smooth handoff to the street apron. We talk with you about shape, too. A slightly wider drive or a flared entry can make the front yard look more generous. Joints go in on a tidy grid, a broom gives the top some grip, and blankets protect it through the cure. Palos Hills driveways deal with salt, snowplows and shade from big trees, and the base and cure are what let a new drive stand up to all three.
