Concrete Contractor Serving Aurora, IL
Aurora is the second-largest city in Illinois, and it is unusual among Chicagoland communities because it sprawls across four counties at once: Kane, DuPage, Kendall, and Will. The Fox River cuts straight through the middle, separating the historic downtown and older East and West Side neighborhoods from the far-east subdivisions like Stonebridge, Oakhurst, and Kensington Lakes that filled in over the last few decades. That mix of century-old housing stock and large newer developments means concrete here ranges from cracked 1920s sidewalks to modern subdivision driveways, and the right approach depends on which Aurora you are pouring in.
B.G. Concrete Inc. is a family-owned concrete contractor that has worked across Chicagoland since 1984. We are based at 265 Apollo Ct in Wood Dale, an easy run down I-88 or Route 59 to Aurora's east-side neighborhoods, and we handle residential and commercial flatwork throughout the city's multi-county footprint. Call us at 630-595-1518 to talk through your project.
Concrete Services in Aurora, IL
Driveway Replacement in Aurora
Aurora driveways take a beating from Fox Valley freeze-thaw cycles. We pour on a compacted CA-6 stone base with air-entrained concrete to resist scaling, run proper control joints, and finish at 4 inches for standard residential use or thicker where trucks and trailers park. See our concrete driveway contractor page for details on the full replacement process.
Patios for Aurora Backyards
Whether your home backs up to the Fox River Trail downtown or sits on a larger far-east-side lot, a poured concrete patio gives you a flat, durable outdoor space that holds up to Illinois winters. We grade for drainage away from the foundation, set a CA-6 base over Aurora's clay-heavy soil, and place control joints to manage the cracking that clay movement causes. Learn more on our concrete patio installation page.
Stamped & Decorative Concrete in Aurora
Stamped and decorative concrete is a popular upgrade in Aurora's newer subdivisions, where homeowners want patios, walkways, and pool decks that mimic stone or brick without the price of pavers. We integrate color and texture into an air-entrained mix built for the local freeze-thaw climate, then seal the surface to protect it. Explore patterns and finishes on our stamped concrete contractor page.
Foundations & Footings in Aurora
Aurora's code requires footings poured below the regional 42-inch frost line so winter heave does not crack your structure, and the city's clay soil makes correct footing depth and reinforcement non-negotiable. We pour foundations, footings, and stoops for additions, garages, and new builds across all four counties Aurora touches. Our concrete foundation contractor page covers how we approach foundation work in the Fox Valley.
Sidewalks & Steps in Aurora
Downtown Aurora and the older East and West Side neighborhoods are full of aging public-walk sections and worn concrete steps that have lifted, settled, or spalled over the years. We replace sidewalks and steps to spec, with proper subbase and jointing, and we coordinate with the city when the work sits in the public right-of-way. Visit our sidewalk replacement contractor page to see how we handle these repairs.
Commercial Concrete in Aurora
Aurora's commercial corridors along Farnsworth Avenue, New York Street, and the Orchard Road and Route 59 retail areas keep us busy with heavier flatwork. Commercial slabs, loading areas, and walkways carry far more load than a home driveway, so we pour at 6 inches or more with appropriate base and reinforcement to IDOT and city specifications. Our commercial concrete contractor page explains our process for business properties.
Kane County Soil & Site Conditions in Aurora
Because the city spans Kane, DuPage, Kendall, and Will counties, a parcel near a county line can fall under different floodplain map panels and utility service areas. Local conditions drive how we build: Fox Valley clay soil shifts with moisture, the 42-inch frost line dictates footing depth, and freeze-thaw cycles make air-entrained mix and proper control joints essential. We pour over a compacted CA-6 base on every job to give the slab a stable foundation in that clay.
Why Aurora Property Owners Choose B.G. Concrete
B.G. Concrete Inc. has been a family-owned business since 1984, and four decades of pouring across Kane County and Chicagoland means we already know how Aurora's clay soil and frost line behave. We do not treat an east-side subdivision driveway the same as a downtown sidewalk replacement, because they are not the same job. From our Wood Dale base we are close enough to respond quickly and experienced enough to do it right the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions — Aurora, IL

We handle driveways, patios, stamped and decorative concrete, foundations and footings, sidewalks and steps, and commercial flatwork. Whether you have an older downtown property or a newer far-east-side subdivision home, we cover the full range of residential and commercial concrete.
How long does a concrete project take in Aurora?
A typical residential driveway or patio is poured in a day or two once the site is prepped, but concrete needs time to cure before heavy use, often several days to a week. Larger commercial pours can extend the schedule. We give you a realistic timeline when we quote the job.
