Concrete Patio in Arlington Heights, IL
Arlington Heights patio work is mostly replacement, because the postwar houses in Scarsdale and around Pioneer Park nearly all got a small rear slab when built. Seventy years later those pads have cracked or settled toward the house, and the settling is the real problem: a patio tipped back toward the foundation delivers every rainfall straight to the basement wall.

Arlington Heights specifics
The village permits patios and reviews added impervious surface. The thing to watch on these lots is which way the old patio drains, because a slab settled toward the house is a frequent contributor to basement seepage on the older blocks. We reset the pitch to a quarter inch per foot away from the foundation.
Questions
My old patio slopes toward the house. Is that causing basement water?
Very likely. A settled slab delivers every rainfall to the foundation wall. Replacement lets us reset the pitch to a quarter inch per foot away from the house, which is often the cheapest part of a basement water fix.
How much does patio replacement cost in Arlington Heights?
Size and finish decide it. A 16-by-20 is the common footprint, stamped costs more per square foot than broom, and breaking out and hauling away the original slab is included.
Can I make the patio bigger than the original?
Almost everyone does. The postwar pads were sized for a grill and two chairs. Enlarging while the crew and equipment are already on site costs far less per square foot than a separate job later.
