A third car, a work truck or a teenager's first car usually ends up on the lawn beside a Bolingbrook driveway, and in Bolingbrook that is a code violation, not a stopgap. The village does not allow parking on unpaved ground and does not accept gravel or decorative rock as a driveway extension. That is why so much of what a concrete contractor in Bolingbrook, IL pours is driveway widening and paved parking space, alongside the usual replacements of tired driveways.

We replace and widen driveways, pour patios and walks, and repair settled concrete in Bolingbrook, about 16 minutes northeast of downtown Plainfield.

Bolingbrook Driveway Rules: Width, Thickness and One Curb Cut

Bolingbrook's code covers residential driveways in more detail than most homeowners expect. The ones that shape a replacement or widening:

Minimum driveway width12 ft
Maximum width, one- or two-car garage24 ft at right-of-way, 28 ft at curb
Concrete driveway minimum4 in. over 4 in. CA-6 stone
ReinforcementWire or fiber mesh
Curb cuts per homeOne

Loose materials such as gravel, stone or sand are prohibited as a driveway surface, and the code allows the village to require more thickness where heavy vehicle loads are expected. Garages larger than two cars fall under separate zoning limits. Any driveway that connects to a public street, or any work that opens the street, curb, gutter or sidewalk, needs a permit from the village building commissioner first.

One more line in the code is worth knowing: keeping the driveway in good repair is the duty of the permit holder and the property owner. When a driveway opening onto the street becomes a hazard because it does not meet the code, the village can serve the owner a written notice to fix it.

Driveway Widening and Parking Pads in Bolingbrook

Because the village requires every parked vehicle to sit on pavement, widening is the common fix for a household that has outgrown a two-car driveway. The extra width has to fit the 24-foot limit at the right-of-way and stay on a single curb cut, so it usually flares out on the house side of the sidewalk rather than at the street. New concrete tied into an old driveway gets a clean saw-cut and a planned joint so the two sections can move without cracking each other.

If the existing driveway is near the end of its life, widening is often the right moment to replace it, since new concrete next to an old, worn slab never matches well. Our concrete driveway page covers replacement costs and finishes, and concrete flatwork covers RV and trailer pads in the back or side yard.

Patios, Walks and Concrete Repair in Bolingbrook

For the backyard, a concrete patio in broom finish, exposed aggregate or stamped concrete is sized around the setbacks and easements on your plat of survey. Out front, heaved walk panels and sunken stoops are often repair jobs, while a walk that has cracked through in several places is better replaced as a new walkway.

Can I extend my Bolingbrook driveway with gravel?

No. Bolingbrook requires driveways to be concrete or asphalt, does not accept decorative rock or gravel as a driveway extension, and prohibits parking any vehicle on an unpaved surface. A concrete widening is the usual answer.

How wide can a driveway be in Bolingbrook?

For a home with a one- or two-car garage, up to 24 feet at the right-of-way and 28 feet at the curb, with a minimum width of 12 feet. Homes with larger garages fall under the village zoning ordinance.

Do I need a permit to replace a driveway in Bolingbrook?

Yes. Building a driveway that connects to a public street, or opening the street, curb, gutter or sidewalk to build one, requires a permit from the village building commissioner.

Can I add a second driveway?

Bolingbrook allows only one curb cut per home, so extra parking is added by widening the existing driveway rather than opening a second one.

Out of Driveway Space in Bolingbrook?

We'll measure what the code allows on your lot and price the widening or replacement.
