Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a concrete driveway cost?
Concrete driveways in the Palos Heights area run $13 to $16 per square foot installed. A standard two-car driveway (600 sqft) costs $7,800–$9,600 including tear-out, grading, rebar, and sealer.
How long does a concrete driveway last?
A properly installed concrete driveway lasts 25-30+ years, and many last 40 years or more with proper maintenance. The key factors are base preparation, thickness, rebar, and regular sealing.
How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
You can walk on new concrete after 24-48 hours. Wait 30 days before driving any vehicle on it — that's the cure period written into our warranty terms — and keep trucks and trailers off even longer.
Do you remove the old driveway?
Yes. All of our driveway pricing includes full tear-out, hauling, and disposal of the old concrete. We handle everything from demolition to final sealer application.
Can I use salt on my concrete driveway?
Do NOT use any de-icing salts during the first winter — use sand instead. After the first year, use calcium chloride or magnesium chloride sparingly. Avoid rock salt, which is harsh on concrete.
What causes concrete driveways to crack?
The most common causes are inadequate gravel base, no rebar reinforcement, improper control joints, tree root pressure, and heavy vehicle loads. Proper installation prevents most cracking issues.
Do you do concrete repair, leveling, or resurfacing?
No. ZBL Concrete & Design is a new-installation contractor: we tear out and pour new driveways, patios, pool decks, walkways and steps. We don't do crack repair, mudjacking or slab leveling, overlays, or resurfacing. Those are short-term fixes on a slab whose base has usually already failed, so the same cracks come back in 1–3 years. Full replacement makes more sense when cracks go all the way through, a section has sunk more than half an inch, the surface is flaking, or the concrete is 20+ years old — a new 4-inch slab on a compacted gravel base with rebar lasts 30+ years, and tear-out is included in our price. If your slab is sound and the damage is purely cosmetic, we'll tell you that and point you to a repair specialist.
