Asphalt Paving in Schaumburg, IL

Asphalt paving in Schaumburg mostly means driveways from one decade. The village incorporated on March 7, 1956 with about 130 residents and had 986 in 1960. Then Campanelli's Weathersfield development, begun in 1959, added more than 6,800 units, and the population hit 53,305 by 1980; it was 78,723 in 2020. Census estimates show nearly 38 percent of homes built in the 1970s, with a median year built of 1979.

Village driveway rules

Schaumburg's driveway resource guide requires a permit and limits width to 21 feet within 3 feet of the front property line, widening at a 45-degree angle beyond that, with a 9-foot minimum. Front and rear yard coverage is capped at 40 percent, and side-yard walks are limited to 5 feet. Wide driveways built before 2005 may be replaced but not widened. The village inspects the sub-base and the final work.

Weathersfield-era driveways

Driveways in the 1970s neighborhoods are now about fifty years old. Many are due for full replacement; others with sound bases can be overlaid or maintained. We check and price both options.

Water

The West Branch of the DuPage River and the West Branch of Salt Creek both run through Schaumburg. Low areas near them can hold water, so drainage and base depth matter there.

Woodfield and commercial lots

Woodfield Mall opened in 1971, and Motorola built a major campus in 1967. Those anchors still draw heavy daily traffic to the village's commercial lots. We maintain office, retail and hotel lots with phased patching, sealing, overlays and striping.

Laying out the 45-degree widening

Schaumburg's rule that driveways widen at a 45-degree angle beyond the 21-foot strip near the street gives a distinctive shape. We stake that layout before excavating, so the finished driveway meets the rule and still gives you room to park and turn.

Coverage limits for extra parking

The 40 percent cap on front and rear yard coverage limits how much extra parking you can add. We measure your lot and show you what fits before quoting a pad or widening.

Rivers and low ground

The West Branch of the DuPage River and the West Branch of Salt Creek both pass through Schaumburg. Neighborhoods near them include low, damp ground where driveways heave and soften. We probe and add stone where needed.

Weathersfield streets

Weathersfield's thousands of homes were built in a short span, so many driveways on a single street are the same age and fail in similar ways. If your neighbors are replacing, yours may be close.
