"Gibran and his crew were the hardest working crew I've ever seen. They arrived 15 minutes before scheduled each day (3 in total) and worked hard with very few breaks. They were neat and tidied up the site as they went and at the end of each day. I had a few things that had to be brought from the street to the house and the garage and they voluntarily helped me carry them through the war zone that was the demo area of the driveway. They all clearly care about the work they are doing and take pride in doing it. Communication skills are very high. I did have other contractors bid on the work and although their pricing was competitive, only Gibran (5 Star's owner) suggested adding drains to our catch basin to reduce the potential of standing water near our foundation. The existing driveway was approximately 100 years old. The neighbor's lot line is the edge of our driveway, so Gilbran suggested we do his walkway as well, since it would not look good o have the new and century old concrete side by side. The crew took great care to make sure that these two old homes were not damaged during the entire process. Gilbran is a good family man. We shared photos of our daughters and talked about his ambitions. He is the kind of person you know who takes his job and community seriously. He is a good salesman and delivers what he promises."

"We worked with JD from Green City Gardens to design and plant new landscaping in the front of our house. This included removing the existing shrubs, adding organic materials and planting the new flowers and bushes. In addition, JD, Doug, Carl and John removed two existing trees which had died and replaced them with new trees. The project was projected to be completed in about 2.5 days and the team achieved the target. The entire crew was excellent to work with--each provided their input and recommendations regarding plant placement. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process--from initial design through planting. JD's design was excellent and the new landscaping greatly enhanced the front of our house. Doug, John, JD and Carl worked diligently to remove the existing landscaping and planting and mulching the new plants. Based on our experience, we highly recommend Green City Gardens---they were reasonably priced and easy to work with when making significant enhancements to our landscaping."

"From the first visit we felt Tony would do a great job for us. We had an unlevel, cracked, ugly asphalt driveway and a one-step stoop that was so high, it was scary to step down from. The melted snow ran from the driveway into our garage...that is how much higher our old blacktop driveway was. Tony envisioned a stoop with two steps for safety and esthetics and proposed the idea to us. Obviously, we loved it. Tony was there answering every question, helping us choose materials and always replied within 24 hours, which we found that completely acceptable. So we signed up! Then the work started and we were equally impressed with John who did all the supervision of their concrete team. We loved to see John working along side the crew, riding the machinery and the pleasant way he treated their workers. Recommendations, whether they be from a neighbor or from a satisfied customer, are important and I would never leave a positive review if I didn't have a positive experience. Ours was a 5!"

"We hired this landscaping company to pressure wash our driveway, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the results. Over the years it had built up a lot of dirt, stains, and discoloration, and I didn’t realize how much it brought down the overall look of our home until they finished. The difference was night and day, the driveway looks almost brand new again. What stood out most was how professional and friendly the crew was. They showed up on time, explained what they were going to do, and took their time making sure everything was done right. You could tell they actually cared about the quality of their work, not just getting in and out quickly. They also made sure the surrounding areas were clean before they left, which I really appreciated."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

Homeowners in Des Plaines, IL, make several key decisions during an asphalt paving project. You will need to choose the asphalt's thickness and whether to use new or recycled materials. You also provide input on the driveway's design, including its width and any necessary drainage solutions. Finally, you must decide on the project's timing to work around seasonal weather and select a qualified local contractor.

Helpful?

In Des Plaines, extensive "alligator" cracking covering over 30% of the surface indicates you need a full asphalt paving replacement, not just a repair. Other signs include significant settling, drainage problems causing water to pool, or frost heaving damage, all common with local clay soil. Minor issues like small, isolated cracks or potholes can often be addressed with simple repairs instead of a complete replacement.

Helpful?

During asphalt paving in Des Plaines, unexpected issues can arise. Poor sub-grade conditions from the area's clay soil may require extra excavation and base material. You might also face complications from specialized drainage solutions to meet city code or from removing extensive tree roots. Delays from coordinating with utility providers or navigating permit requirements can also add to the project's final timeline and complexity.

Helpful?

Yes, a new asphalt paving project can enhance your home's value in the Des Plaines market. With many older homes in the area, a well-maintained driveway improves curb appeal and is a valuable feature for buyers dealing with harsh winters. Replacing a severely cracked or narrow driveway offers the best return, making your property more competitive and appealing for resale in this Cook County community.

Helpful?

When planning an asphalt paving project in Des Plaines, consider the local clay soil, which requires proper base preparation to prevent settling. The region's freeze-thaw cycles also demand a durable installation. Be sure to account for city requirements for stormwater management and property line setbacks. Finally, scheduling work between May and September is essential for a successful project in Illinois, avoiding weather-related complications.
