Asphalt Paving in Hoffman Estates, IL

Asphalt paving in Hoffman Estates follows a village that began with one land deal. Sam and Jack Hoffman bought 160 acres in 1954, and the village incorporated on September 23, 1959. It grew from 8,296 residents in 1960 to 37,272 in 1980 and now covers about 21 square miles across Cook County and a sliver of Kane. Census estimates show about 33 percent of homes built in the 1970s, a median year built of 1976 and about 74 percent owner-occupied.

Larger households

The average household here is about 3.16 people, which often means more cars and more daily wear on driveways. Tire paths and aprons wear first. When we pave, we pay attention to base depth in those areas.

1970s driveways

Driveways from the 1970s are now around fifty years old. Many need replacement; others can be resurfaced if the base is still firm. We check and price both options.

Prairie Stone

Prairie Stone, a 750-acre business campus that drew Sears in 1993, and St. Alexius Medical Center, with about 2,500 employees, anchor the village's commercial pavement. Office, medical and retail lots need regular crack sealing, sealcoating, overlays and striping, scheduled around operations.

Elevation and drainage

Hoffman Estates sits at about 824 feet, higher than much of the area, but local low spots still hold water. We set driveway grades so runoff reaches the street or yard.

Permits

The village requires review for driveway work. We confirm current width, setback and inspection rules for your address before scheduling.

Higher ground, local low spots

At about 824 feet, Hoffman Estates sits higher than towns closer to Chicago, but local low spots still trap water at the end of a driveway or beside a garage. We find where water collects after rain and grade the new base so it moves away.

Planning for more vehicles

With larger households, many driveways carry three or more cars daily. Tire paths and the apron see the most wear, so we focus base depth and compaction there.

Medical and office lots

Hospital and office lots have traffic around the clock. We phase work at night or on weekends and keep entrances and accessible spaces open.

Two counties

Most of Hoffman Estates is in Cook County, with a small part in Kane. Where a driveway meets a county road, that county sets the approach rules.

Sealing after replacement

A new driveway should cure for 3 to 6 months before its first sealcoat. For a fall replacement, that means sealing the next summer.
