Woodridge Concrete on The Ridge

Woodridge gets its name from its setting, and that setting affects the work of concrete contractors in Woodridge. The village sits in a wooded area above a steep hillside known locally as The Ridge, which overlooks the East Branch of the DuPage River and the Des Plaines Valley. Some lots slope, many have mature trees, and both change how a driveway, walk or patio is planned.

Built fast after 1959

Woodridge was incorporated on August 24, 1959, with fewer than 500 residents. Developer Albert Kaufman founded it, and most homes, businesses and churches were built after the 1950s. The population went from 542 in 1960 to 11,028 in 1970 and 21,763 in 1980, and was 34,158 in 2020 with 14,068 housing units. Many driveways and patios here date from the 1960s through the 1980s and are on their second or third life.

Trees and slopes

Mature trees are one of the best parts of Woodridge and one of the hardest things on concrete. Roots lift walks and driveway edges, and trip edges at sidewalk joints are common. When we replace a lifted section, we look at the roots and the grade, and talk with you about the options before any root work. On sloped lots we set steps and transitions so walks stay comfortable and drain well.

Woodridge Questions

A tree root lifted my Woodridge sidewalk. What can be done?

We can remove and replace the lifted section and regrade the base. We talk through the root situation with you first, since cutting roots can affect the tree.

Can you build a patio on a sloped yard?

Yes. Sloped yards may need a stepped or terraced patio, more base on the low side or a short step down. We plan the layout on site.

Do you give written estimates for storm damage?

Yes. We look at the damage and give you a written estimate for the repair or replacement.
