Orland Park Flatwork, Permitted and Inspected
Orland Park has some of the clearest flatwork rules in the area, and the concrete contractors in Orland Park you hire should know them before they quote. The village says a permit is required for all flatwork, including driveways, patios, sidewalks and garage floors. Each application includes a plat of survey showing the shape, size and placement of the concrete, a signed Flatwork Requirements form and a zoning permit application.
Two inspections on every job
Orland Park requires a pre-pour inspection of the base stone and forms and a final inspection when the work is done, with at least 24 hours of notice requested online. We build the inspection into the schedule: forms and stone go in, the village inspects, and only then do we pour. That way the base you are paying for is checked before it is buried.
The November 15 to March 15 cutoff
The village does not allow exterior flatwork such as driveways, sidewalks and exposed slabs to be poured from November 15 through March 15. If you want a new driveway or patio this year, the practical window is spring through mid-November. Booking early in the spring gives you the most choice of dates. Interior garage floors and other protected slabs follow different rules, and we confirm those with the village.
Driveway length and parkways
The village driveway page sets a minimum driveway length of 20 feet, not counting the right-of-way and sidewalk, and says no driveway may encroach on the parkway in front of the neighboring property. Widths and lengths were updated in December 2023. We lay out driveway replacements and widenings to the current rules and show you the plan before we form.
Homes from the 1970s and 1980s boom
Orland Park had 6,391 residents in 1970 and 23,045 in 1980, then grew to 51,077 by 2000 and 58,703 in 2020, with 23,746 housing units. Orland Square Mall opened in 1976, in the middle of that boom. Many homes from the 1970s and 1980s still have original or once-replaced concrete that is cracked, settled or scaled. Newer homes from the 1990s and 2000s are seeing their first round of apron and patio problems.
