Concrete Driveway in Arlington Heights, IL
Arlington Heights has some of the oldest driveways on our list. The postwar ranches in Scarsdale and around Pioneer Park were built with narrow single-width drives that made sense when a household had one car, and seventy winters have finished them off. Most owners replace and widen in the same job, and that width decision moves the price more than the finish does.

Arlington Heights specifics
The village inspects the apron in the right-of-way, and the apron width limit is the detail that catches most homeowners by surprise. Public sidewalk runs through most of the older village, and the panel crossing your driveway comes out as part of the job, so it is quoted with the drive.
Questions
How wide can my Arlington Heights driveway apron be?
The village caps the apron width at the right-of-way line, which is why a widened driveway usually tapers back down at the street. We confirm the exact allowed dimension with the village before we set forms.
Does the sidewalk get replaced with the driveway?
The panel that crosses the drive does, because it has to come out either way, and it is included in the quote. Extra parkway panels beyond that are measured and quoted separately.
What does it cost to widen a 1950s Arlington Heights driveway?
Widening to a full two-car width costs more than a like-for-like replacement, mostly in extra square footage and base work. Most owners do it anyway while the drive is already out.
