A new concrete driveway in Downers Grove usually takes about 3 to 5 days from start to finish, not including cure time. This includes demolition of the old driveway, proper base preparation, pouring the concrete, and initial finishing. Weather plays a big part in this schedule, especially rain or very cold temperatures, which can cause delays. We'll give you a clear timeline upfront based on your specific project and the forecast.
For a patio in Downers Grove, a high-strength concrete mix with a good air-entrainment additive is best to handle our freeze-thaw cycles. Air entrainment creates microscopic air bubbles in the concrete, which gives water room to expand when it freezes, preventing cracking. We often recommend a broom finish for good traction, but stamped or exposed aggregate finishes are also popular and durable options. The right mix and finish will ensure your patio lasts through many Illinois seasons.
