Asphalt Paving in Barrington, IL

Asphalt paving in Barrington means working in an established town with deep roots. The Chicago and North Western Railway arrived in 1854, Barrington received its charter on February 16, 1865, and its oldest home dates to 1872. The village has had a historic district since 2001 and has been a Tree City USA since 1986. It straddles Cook and Lake counties, sits at about 843 feet and had 10,722 residents and about 4,394 housing units in 2020.

Mature trees

Tree-lined streets are part of Barrington's character, and roots and shade affect driveways. Roots lift edges and crack pavement; shade slows drying and sealer cure times. We plan edges and bases around roots and schedule sealing for dry, sunny stretches. For large roots, an arborist's input is wise.

Historic homes

Older homes often have narrow drives, detached garages and limited access. Replacement means careful equipment planning and protecting walls, walks and plantings.

Two counties

Barrington lies in both Cook and Lake counties. Where a driveway meets a county road, that county sets the approach rules.

Commercial lots

Downtown businesses, churches and schools need regular crack sealing, sealcoating and striping.

Oldest home, oldest driveways

With its oldest home dating to 1872 and a historic district established in 2001, Barrington has some of the oldest residential properties in the northwest suburbs. Older lots can mean narrow driveways close to the house.

Shade and moss

Tree City streets mean lots of shade. Shaded asphalt stays damp longer, and moss and leaves collect in cracks. Clean, sealed cracks and a sealcoat applied in dry weather help.

Two-county approaches

Because the village straddles Cook and Lake counties, approaches onto county roads can fall under different agencies. We check before planning approach work.

Replacing without disturbing

In established neighborhoods, protecting stone walls, plantings and walks matters. We plan the equipment path and haul-off before work begins.

Downtown businesses

Downtown Barrington's shops, churches and schools have lots that need crack sealing, sealcoating and restriping, done in phases.

Commuter traffic

The railroad that founded Barrington still brings commuters into town, and lots near the station see daily use.
