Asphalt Paving in Lake Zurich, IL

Asphalt paving in Lake Zurich works around a village built around water. The lake, originally called Cedar Lake, lies entirely inside the village, and about 0.4 of the village's 7.3 square miles is water. Lake Zurich incorporated on September 29, 1896, began seeing housing development in the 1950s, and grew from 850 residents in 1950 to 14,947 in 1990 and 19,759 in 2020.

Lakeside lots

Homes near the lake can sit on lower, wetter ground. Wet bases weaken during spring thaw, and driveways there are more likely to heave or settle. We add stone where the ground stays soft and set grades so water drains away from the house.

Older roads

U.S. 12 arrived in 1922 and Illinois 22 in 1927, so some of the village's older properties front busier roads. Approaches onto state highways may need IDOT approval.

Subdivision driveways

Newer subdivisions have driveways in their maintenance years. Crack sealing in the fall and a sealcoat every few years keep them in good shape.

Commercial lots

Businesses along Rand Road and Route 22 need regular crack sealing, patching, sealcoating and striping.

Elevation and slopes

Lake Zurich sits at about 886 feet, among the higher towns in the area. Where a driveway slopes, runoff moves faster. We compact firmly, shape edges to resist erosion and make sure water does not run straight into the garage or onto a neighbor's lot.

Older 1950s-era driveways

Housing development began in the 1950s, so the oldest driveways in the village are now around seventy years old. Those usually need replacement; widening, where wanted, has to fit village rules.

Housing count

The 2020 census counted 7,262 housing units with a 2.7 percent vacancy rate. Most driveways are in use year-round and see steady wear.

Sealing schedule

Lakeside humidity and morning dew slow sealer curing. We schedule sealcoating for warm, dry, sunny stretches.

Rand Road and Route 22

Businesses along U.S. 12 (Rand Road) and Illinois 22 have lots that see steady traffic. Entrances on these state routes may need IDOT approval for changes. We maintain those lots with patching, sealing and striping in phases.

Subdivisions since the 1990s

The village grew by nearly 5,000 residents between 1990 and 2020. Newer driveways there are in their maintenance years.
