Asphalt Paving in Northbrook, IL

Asphalt paving in Northbrook works on driveways from three decades of growth. The village incorporated in 1901 as Shermerville, with 311 people and 60 houses, and renamed itself Northbrook in 1923 after the West Fork of the North Branch of the Chicago River. It grew from 3,348 residents in 1950 to 30,778 in 1980, and counted 35,222 in 2020.

Weather

Northbrook averages about 33 inches of snow a year, sees up to 16 days of 90-degree heat, and has recorded 104 and minus 24. Pavement here freezes, thaws, bakes and softens. Sealing cracks before winter and sealcoating every few years help with both.

Older driveways

Most driveways from the 1950s through the 1970s are due for replacement or a well-prepared overlay. We check the base and give you prices for both.

Water

The West Fork of the North Branch runs through the village. Low areas near it can hold water and weaken driveway bases in spring.

Commercial lots

Office parks, shopping centers and churches need regular crack sealing, patching, sealcoating and striping. We phase the work.

Permits

The village reviews driveway work. We confirm current rules before scheduling.

Techny

Techny, a community lying mostly south of Voltz Road, was annexed by Northbrook in 1989. Properties there range widely in age and use, so we look at each one individually.

Heat and soft asphalt

With up to 16 days a year at 90 degrees or more, new asphalt in Northbrook can stay soft for a while. We schedule paving early in the day during heat waves and give you clear instructions on when to park and how to avoid scuffing.

Snow and salt

About 33 inches of snow a year means plenty of plowing and salt. Sealing cracks before freeze-up and sealcoating every two or three years protect the surface.

Remodels and new garages

When an older home is remodeled or a garage replaced, we pave after the heavy construction and match the new garage layout.

Driveways from the 1950s to 1970s

With the population growing almost tenfold between 1950 and 1980, most Northbrook driveways were first paved in those decades and many now need full replacement.

West Fork drainage

The West Fork of the North Branch runs through the village. Lots near it can stay damp; we add base where the ground is soft.

Commercial pavement

Office parks and retail along the main roads need phased maintenance so tenants keep access.
