Concrete Contractor Serving Buffalo Grove, IL
Buffalo Grove is one of the few suburbs that straddles the Lake County and Cook County line, and that split shapes nearly every concrete project here. The village grew rapidly through the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s under a deliberate land-use plan, so much of the housing stock dates to that era of planned subdivisions north and south of Lake Cook Road. Decades-old driveways, patios, and walks are now reaching the end of their service life at the same time, and the freeze-thaw cycles of northern Illinois are not gentle on aging slabs.
B.G. Concrete Inc. has been a family-owned concrete contractor since 1984, working out of 265 Apollo Ct in nearby Wood Dale and serving Buffalo Grove and the surrounding Chicagoland area. We know the difference between pouring on the Cook County side near Dundee Road and the Lake County side past Buffalo Grove Road, and we build every flatwork and structural pour to handle local clay soil and a 42-inch frost line.

Concrete Services in Buffalo Grove, IL
Concrete Driveways in Buffalo Grove
Many Buffalo Grove homes still have the original driveway poured when the subdivision went in decades ago, and replacement is one of our most common requests. The Village of Buffalo Grove specifies 6 inches of concrete over a CA-6 stone base for driveways, which exceeds a typical residential standard, so we form, compact, and pour to that spec and place control joints to manage cracking through the freeze-thaw season. Learn more about our concrete driveway services.
Concrete Patios in Buffalo Grove
With the village's strong park system and emphasis on outdoor living, patios are a natural upgrade for Buffalo Grove backyards. We pour patios on a compacted CA-6 base with proper slope for drainage away from the foundation, using air-entrained mix so the surface resists scaling when winter sets in. See how we approach concrete patio installation.
Stamped & Decorative Concrete in Buffalo Grove
Homeowners updating 1980s and 1990s subdivision homes often want a finish with more character than a plain gray slab. Stamped and decorative concrete delivers the look of brick, stone, or paver patterns in a single durable pour, well suited to Buffalo Grove patios, walkways, and entries. Explore our stamped concrete options.
Concrete Foundations in Buffalo Grove
Buffalo Grove's clay-heavy soils and 42-inch frost line make a properly designed and poured foundation essential for additions, garages, and new construction. We pour footings below the frost line and form walls to spec so the structure stays stable through seasonal soil movement. Read about our concrete foundation work.
Sidewalks & Steps in Buffalo Grove
From the public walks lining mature subdivisions to front entry steps that have settled over the years, sidewalks and steps take a beating from foot traffic and freeze-thaw. We replace and repair them on a stable base with the right reinforcement and joint spacing for longevity. Here is more on sidewalk and step replacement.
Commercial Concrete in Buffalo Grove
Buffalo Grove's commercial corridors along Lake Cook Road, Dundee Road, and Milwaukee Avenue support a steady base of retail, office, and light-industrial properties. For these we pour heavy-use slabs at 6 inches, plus loading areas, walks, and parking surfaces engineered for traffic loads. Learn about our commercial concrete services.
Lake County Soil & Site Conditions in Buffalo Grove
Local conditions drive how we build here: clay soils that hold water and heave, a 42-inch frost line that dictates footing depth, and a freeze-thaw climate that makes air-entrained mix and correctly spaced control joints non-negotiable for flatwork that lasts.
