Asphalt Paving in Streamwood, IL

Asphalt paving in Streamwood comes with some of the clearest written driveway rules in the area. The village requires a permit for all driveway and sidewalk work, expects it to be finished within 90 days of the permit, and inspects at several stages. Its residential driveway page limits widths to 18, 25 or 30 feet depending on the garage, sets a 1-foot side setback with 50 percent landscaping, and caps front-yard parking area at 45 percent and rear at 35 percent.

Growth since 1957

Streamwood incorporated on February 9, 1957 and grew from 4,821 residents in 1960 to 39,577 in 2020, with about 13,800 housing units. Many driveways date from the village's growth decades and are now due for replacement or a well-prepared overlay.

Planning the layout

Because the width and coverage limits are specific, they shape any widening or added parking. A third stall, a side pad or a turnaround has to fit within the 45 percent front-yard limit. We measure and sketch the layout against those rules before quoting.

Inspections

Streamwood checks the site, then the base before paving, then the finished work. We schedule each step and keep the job moving within the 90-day window.

Drainage

Flat ground and settling can leave water at the garage or street. We set grades so water drains away.

Commercial lots

Churches, schools, businesses and townhome associations need regular maintenance: crack sealing, sealcoating, patching and striping.

Sequencing separate pieces

Streamwood's rules treat the driveway, walk, apron and curb as separate parts of the work. For an asphalt driveway that meets a concrete apron and public walk, we coordinate the order so each piece is inspected and finished properly and the joints line up.

Landscaping strip

The village's 1-foot side setback comes with a requirement for 50 percent landscaping in that strip. When we lay out a driveway near the side lot line, we leave room for it.

Concrete season and asphalt season

Streamwood does not allow concrete pours between November 15 and April 15. Asphalt has its own limits: hot-mix plants close for winter and asphalt needs thawed, dry ground to compact. In practice, both concrete aprons and asphalt driveways are scheduled from spring through fall.

Townhome associations

Townhome and condo associations in Streamwood have private drives and guest parking that need crack sealing, sealcoating and restriping on a regular cycle.

Matching the apron

When an asphalt driveway meets a concrete apron, the joint needs to be flush and sealed so water does not get under either surface.
