Concrete Contractor Serving Westmont, IL
Westmont sits on what early settlers recognized as the highest ground between Chicago and the Mississippi along the old CB&Q line, and that elevated clay-rich land is no accident of history. It is the same clay William L. Gregg quarried for his Excelsior Brick Company after the Great Chicago Fire, and it is the same dense, expansive soil that B.G. Concrete Inc. accounts for on every Westmont pour today. As a family-owned concrete contractor working out of 265 Apollo Ct in Wood Dale since 1984, we have spent four decades reading DuPage County clay and building flatwork that holds up to it.
From the older bungalows and 1920s-era lots platted by Arthur McIntosh near downtown, to newer homes off Cass Avenue and the commercial frontage along Ogden Avenue, Westmont's mix of housing stock demands a contractor who knows when to match aged concrete and when to rebuild from the base up. We pour driveways, patios, foundations, sidewalks, steps, and decorative concrete throughout the Village and the surrounding Chicagoland area.

Driveway Replacement in Westmont
Many Westmont driveways date back decades, and the village's clay subgrade causes older slabs to heave and crack as ground moisture shifts through freeze-thaw cycles. We strip the failing slab, rebuild on a compacted CA-6 stone base, and pour a 4-inch air-entrained driveway (6 inches where vehicles are heavy), placing control joints to direct inevitable cracking. Learn more about our concrete driveway services.
Patios for Westmont Backyards
On the deep, generous lots common to Westmont's residential streets, a backyard patio anchors outdoor living. We build patios over a properly drained CA-6 base with the slope and jointing needed so water moves away from the house instead of pooling against clay. See how we approach concrete patio installation.
Stamped & Decorative Concrete in Westmont
Westmont homeowners restoring older properties near the Gregg House district often want pavement with character. Stamped and decorative concrete delivers brick, slate, or stone looks in a single durable pour, sealed against road salt and Illinois winters. Explore our stamped concrete options.
Foundations on Westmont Clay
Foundation work in Westmont has to respect DuPage County's 42-inch frost line and the area's expansive clay. We dig footings below frost depth and pour foundations built to carry load on this challenging soil for additions, garages, and new construction. Read about our foundation services.
Sidewalks & Steps in Westmont
Walkable neighborhoods near downtown Westmont and the Metra BNSF station mean public-facing concrete matters. We replace settled sidewalks and crumbling porch steps with safe, properly graded pours that meet Village standards. Details on sidewalk and step replacement.
Commercial Concrete in Westmont
The Ogden Avenue and Cass Avenue commercial corridors keep Westmont's businesses busy, and they need flatwork that takes constant traffic. We pour reinforced parking lots, loading aprons, and walkways at thicknesses sized for heavy use. See our commercial concrete work.
DuPage County Soil & Site Conditions in Westmont
Local conditions drive the engineering here: Westmont's expansive clay soil swells and shrinks with moisture, the regional 42-inch frost line dictates footing depth, and freeze-thaw cycling makes air-entrained mix and correctly spaced control joints essential rather than optional. B.G. Concrete builds on a compacted CA-6 base to give every Westmont slab a stable, well-drained foundation against that clay.
