Concrete for Crest Hill Homes

Crest Hill sits right on Joliet's north edge, and concrete contractors in Crest Hill work on a mix of older and newer homes. The city incorporated on January 22, 1960, choosing to become its own town rather than be annexed by Joliet. It had 5,887 residents in 1960 and grew steadily to 13,329 by 2000, then jumped 56 percent to 20,837 in 2010. In 2020 the census counted 20,459 people and 7,842 housing units.

Lidice and the older streets

One of the older neighborhoods, Stern Park Gardens, was renamed Lidice in 1942 in memory of the Czech village destroyed in World War II. Homes in the older parts of Crest Hill tend to be modest ranches and bungalows with single drives, short walks and front stoops that have been patched over the years. Common jobs here are replacing a cracked driveway and walk together, pouring new steps and adding a backyard patio where there was only a small slab.

The 2000s growth

The big jump between 2000 and 2010 added subdivisions with wider drives and larger patios. Those slabs are now old enough to show salt scaling, cracked aprons and settled panels near the garage. We assess whether section replacement will hold or whether the base is the problem.

Ground and weather

Crest Hill sits at about 640 feet in Lockport Township, on the same limestone-and-clay ground found across the Joliet area. Clay holds water, and water under a slab is what freezes and heaves it. We remove soft material, compact a stone base and slope each slab so water runs away from the house. We use air-entrained concrete for freeze-thaw resistance and cut joints promptly after the pour.

Crest Hill Questions

Can you replace just my front steps in Crest Hill?

Yes. Steps are a common stand-alone job. We remove the old steps, pour new ones on a solid footing and match the rise to your door.

Is it worth replacing a driveway and walk together?

If both are failing, doing them at once means one tear-out and finishes that match. If only one is bad, we can replace that piece alone.

How do you stop a new slab from heaving?

A compacted stone base, good drainage and an air-entrained mix do most of the work. Control joints let the slab move without random cracking.
