Concrete Contractor Serving Wheaton, IL
Wheaton is the seat of DuPage County, and that history shows up in its concrete. The streets surrounding Wheaton College and the Old DuPage County Courthouse are lined with century-old homes shaded by mature trees, and the original walks, driveway approaches, and front stoops on those properties have spent decades absorbing freeze-thaw cycles and root pressure. Move out toward County Farm Road and the postwar subdivisions and the median home dates to the mid-1970s, which means a huge share of Wheaton's flatwork is now reaching the age where surface scaling, settling, and cracked control joints become hard to ignore.
B.G. Concrete Inc. has been a family-owned DuPage County contractor since 1984, working this exact mix of old and newer housing stock. Whether your project sits on a tree-lined lot near downtown or a 1970s ranch on the north side, the same fundamentals decide how long the pour lasts: a compacted CA-6 base, air-entrained mix that survives Wheaton winters, properly spaced control joints, and footings set below northern Illinois' 42-inch frost line. We bring those standards to a delicate replacement next to old maples just as readily as to a fresh slab.
Concrete Services in Wheaton, IL
Concrete Driveways in Wheaton
Many older Wheaton driveways near the College and downtown sit on settling, root-lifted slabs, while newer north-side homes are due for replacement, and we rebuild both on a compacted CA-6 base with control joints sized for clay-soil movement. Learn more about our driveway work.
Concrete Patios for Wheaton Backyards
The shaded, established lots common across Wheaton make great spots for a poured patio that won't rot or warp like a wood deck under all that tree cover. See our patio installation options.
Stamped & Decorative Concrete in Wheaton
Stamped and decorative finishes let Wheaton homeowners in the historic neighborhoods get a high-end, traditional look that fits the architecture without the constant upkeep of pavers. Explore stamped concrete.
Concrete Foundations in Wheaton
From additions on older homes to new garage and porch footings, we pour Wheaton foundations below the 42-inch frost line on properly engineered, compacted base. Read about our foundation services.
Sidewalks & Steps in Wheaton
Heaved public walks and crumbling stoops are common on Wheaton's older blocks, and because much of that work falls in the City right-of-way it must be done to code. More on sidewalk and step replacement.
Commercial Concrete in Wheaton
Along the Roosevelt Road (Route 38) corridor and the Naperville Road retail areas near Danada, commercial slabs and aprons take heavy traffic, so we pour at 6 inches or thicker on a stabilized base. View our commercial concrete services.
DuPage County Soil & Site Conditions in Wheaton
Underneath it all is the same DuPage County challenge: clay-heavy soil that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. On Wheaton's older, tree-lined lots that means we also plan around established root systems, so we focus on thick compacted CA-6 base, careful grading, and properly placed control joints to keep slabs from heaving through the freeze-thaw season.
Why Wheaton Property Owners Choose B.G. Concrete
Wheaton property owners choose B.G. Concrete because we have been a family-owned DuPage County contractor since 1984, pouring in the same clay soil and the same freeze-thaw winters this town has dealt with for generations. We treat a Wheaton driveway, patio, or sidewalk as a long-term investment rather than a quick pour, which means honest base prep, air-entrained mix, and joints placed where they actually belong. Call 630-595-1518 from anywhere in Wheaton and you'll talk through your project with the people who do the work.

Frequently Asked Questions — Wheaton, IL
How much does concrete cost in Wheaton?
Pricing in Wheaton depends on square footage, slab thickness, base prep, and finish, since a plain 4-inch residential walk costs far less than a stamped patio or a 6-inch driveway. Older Wheaton lots sometimes need extra base or root work that affects the total. Call B.G. Concrete at 630-595-1518 for a straight, no-pressure estimate.
Do you serve Wheaton?
Yes. B.G. Concrete is based at 265 Apollo Ct in Wood Dale and serves Wheaton, the DuPage County seat, along with the rest of DuPage County and the broader Chicagoland area.
What concrete services do you offer in Wheaton?
We handle driveways, patios, stamped and decorative concrete, foundations, sidewalks and steps, and commercial concrete throughout Wheaton, from century-old homes near the College to 1970s subdivisions on the north and west sides of town.
How long does a concrete project take in Wheaton?
A typical Wheaton driveway or patio is often a one- to two-day pour once the base is prepped, but the slab needs time to cure and gain strength before heavy use. Northern Illinois weather can affect the schedule; call 630-595-1518 and we'll give you a realistic window.
