Asphalt Paving in Elk Grove Village, IL

Asphalt paving in Elk Grove Village serves two very different worlds. The village incorporated on July 17, 1956 as a Centex development, and its residential side grew from 6,608 people in 1960 to 28,679 in 1980. Census estimates show about 24 percent of homes from the 1960s and 29 percent from the 1970s, with a median year built of 1974. On the other side of the village is a business park of about 5.9 square miles with roughly 3,600 businesses and 100,000 workers.

Residential driveways

Driveways from the Centex era are now fifty to sixty years old. Many have been overlaid and patched repeatedly. Replacement with a rebuilt base is often the long-term answer.

Village permit rules

Elk Grove Village's residential checklist requires an engineering permit and, for work in the right-of-way, additional contractor paperwork. It limits driveway width to 20 feet for a one-car garage and 30 feet for two- or three-car garages, with a 2-foot side setback, and it calls for inspections before paving and at completion with 24 hours' notice. Public walks and aprons follow a heavier village standard than the private drive.

The business park

Warehouses, plants and distribution centers in the business park see constant truck traffic. Lots and drive lanes need thick sections, deep bases and regular maintenance. We design truck zones separately and phase work around shipping schedules.

Busse Woods

Busse Woods, with its well-known elk herd, sits at the village's edge. Homes near the forest preserve and low areas can have wetter ground, which affects base and drainage.

Right-of-way paperwork

Work in the public right-of-way in Elk Grove Village comes with extra contractor requirements beyond the residential permit. If your project includes the apron or public walk, we handle those steps so the work can be inspected and approved.

Sixty-year-old bases

Centex-era driveways often have thinner bases than modern practice. When we replace them, we excavate soft subgrade and build back with compacted stone so the new surface lasts.

Business park scale

With about 3,600 businesses and roughly 100,000 workers, the Elk Grove Village business park has some of the most heavily used private pavement in the region. Truck courts, drive lanes and employee lots each need their own design. We provide zone-by-zone proposals so owners can plan maintenance over several years.

Matching the parkway standard

Public walks and aprons in the village follow a heavier standard than private drives. When we replace an asphalt driveway, we tie it cleanly into the existing or new apron.
