Same crew, tear-out to sweep-up
Concrete Contractors in Stickney, IL Who Finish What They Start
On tight bungalow lots off Pershing Road, the crew that breaks out your old driveway is the one that pours the new slab, finishes it and hauls every last chunk away.
How every job runs
No handoffs
Demo, base, pour and cleanup by one crew. Nobody new shows up halfway.
Base dug right
Down to solid ground, stone packed in, before a single form goes up.
Cured, not rushed
Fresh slabs kept wet or covered so the top stays hard and does not flake.
Price on paper
What goes under it, how thick and what finish. All listed before we start.
Yard put back
Broken concrete, forms and dirt leave with us. The alley too.
The Concrete We Pour for Stickney Homes and Shops
Small lots. Narrow side yards. Garages off the alley. Most of the work around here is replacing something that wore out. Here is everything we do, so you know where your job lands.
Concrete Flatwork
Slabs for sheds, pads for the AC unit, garage aprons off the alley. Plain at-grade concrete, set on a real base and pitched so water goes somewhere useful.
Concrete Foundations
Footings and foundation walls for a back addition, a new detached garage or a front porch. Dug deep enough for winter and formed to the plan you give us.
Stamped Concrete
A slate or brick look tamped into wet concrete, tinted to suit your siding, then sealed so the tone lasts.
Concrete Walkways & Sidewalks
The walk from the gangway to the back door, the path to the front porch, the public panel by the parkway. Even, pitched and broomed for grip.
Concrete Patios
A backyard slab you can actually fit a table on. Sloped toward the yard so a summer storm does not end up at the basement window.
Concrete Driveways
Old drive out, new base in, new slab poured thick enough for the car and the snow pile. Usually one of our most common calls.
Commercial Concrete
Walks, pads and slabs for shops, small industrial buildings and apartment owners. Timed so the business keeps running while we work.
Three Steps. One Crew the Whole Way.
You call, we come look
Describe the old concrete and the new plan. Then we stop by, measure, check where water goes and look at how we get equipment in. Narrow gangway? We plan for it.
You get the price in writing
Break-out, hauling, base depth, thickness, steel, finish. Each one listed. Find a surprise under the old slab? We stop and phone you before doing a thing about it.
We do the job start to finish
Same crew tears out, digs, compacts, forms, pours, finishes and cures. Then they pull the forms, backfill the edges and sweep. You do not chase three companies to get one slab.
Why Folks Around Here Hire Us
Three things decide whether concrete holds up. What is under it, how it is finished and how it is treated the first week. We do not skip any of them.
The first week matters most
Concrete gets strong slowly. We keep it damp or blanketed, keep traffic off and time the pour around the weather. A slab that cures right holds up to salt and freeze far better than one left to bake or freeze.
Stamped work done with patience
Color, texture and pattern only look right when the timing is right. We pick the pattern with you, match the tone to your brick and hand-finish the edges so it looks like stone, not like a rubber mat.
Ground work nobody sees
Soft dirt dug out. Stone brought in and compacted in layers. That is the part people skip, and it is the reason a driveway sinks by the garage a few years later.
Stickney and the Towns Right Around It
Stickney is a small village wedged between Cicero, Berwyn and Lyons, with Forest View next door and the Stevenson running just to the south. Homes sit close together, garages face the alleys and access is usually tight. Most of what we pour here is replacement work on older concrete, plus some new foundations for additions. We cover the neighbors too: Berwyn, Cicero, Lyons, Riverside, Summit, Bedford Park, McCook, Brookfield and Bridgeview.
Tight access is normal
Narrow gangways and alley garages mean planning how the old concrete comes out and the new concrete goes in. We figure that out at the first visit.
Old slabs, new base
A lot of the concrete here was poured long ago on thin base. Replacing it means digging deeper, not just pouring over the top.

Things People in Stickney Ask Us
Short answers. If yours is not here, just ask when you ring.
What are those cut lines in concrete for?
Those are control joints, and they tell the slab where to crack. Concrete shrinks as it dries and moves with the seasons, so it is going to crack somewhere. Cut a groove deep enough at the right spacing and the crack forms inside the groove, out of sight, instead of zigzagging across the middle.
Should I fix my old concrete or start over?
Depends on what is wrong. Hairline cracks in a slab that sits level and feels solid underfoot are mostly cosmetic. If it is broken into pieces, sunk, heaved or the base underneath has washed out, replacement is the fix that actually lasts, and that is the work we do.
Do you haul the old concrete away?
Yes. Busting up the old concrete, loading the pieces and trucking them off is built into the job and into the number you get. You will not be left with a pile in the alley.
How long will a new foundation last?
Built right, a poured concrete foundation should outlast the structure sitting on it. The parts that make that happen are footings below the frost line, firm soil underneath, proper reinforcement and water directed away from the walls. Skip those and problems show up much sooner.
What does a new concrete driveway cost?
It comes down to size, how much old concrete has to come out, how deep the base needs to be, thickness, reinforcement and finish. Plain broomed costs less than stamped and colored. We measure and give you a written number that lists each of those, so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
Which way should a patio or walk drain?
Away from the house, always. We set a slight, steady slope so water runs toward the yard, a drain or another spot where it can soak in. Even a small slope the wrong way sends water toward the foundation every time it rains.
Rebar or wire mesh, does it matter?
It does. Reinforcement holds cracked pieces together so they do not separate or shift, and it helps a slab carry weight. Rebar is the stronger choice for driveways and foundations, mesh can work on lighter slabs, and either only helps if it sits up in the concrete instead of lying on the ground.
An Owner Who Still Shows Up to the Pour
Concrete Contractor Stickney runs on a simple rule: the people who start your job finish it. No subcontracted demo crew, no stranger showing up to pour. You talk to the owner, the same crew does the work, and the yard is cleaned before anybody calls it done.
