Concrete Driveway in Mount Prospect, IL
Mount Prospect has some of the oldest residential concrete in our service area. Near the Metra station the houses run from the 1920s through the 1950s, with single-width strips that predate two-car households entirely. Prospect Meadows and Colonial Heights are where full replacement is routine. In both, the front stoop is usually in worse shape than the drive, having settled away from the door.

Mount Prospect specifics
The village permits driveway and sidewalk work and inspects the apron crossing the right-of-way. Mount Prospect has historically operated a shared-cost sidewalk program worth asking about before you pay for parkway panels. Where a stoop has pulled away from the house, the replacement gets a footing at or below 42 inches.
Questions
Does Mount Prospect help pay for sidewalk replacement?
The village has operated a shared-cost sidewalk program, so call before paying for parkway panels yourself. The work is the same either way; only the billing changes.
Why has my front stoop pulled away from the house?
It was set on fill rather than a footing below the frost line. Frost lifts it every winter and it never fully returns, so the gap widens. A replacement over a 42-inch footing stays put.
Can a 1920s single-width driveway be widened?
Usually, subject to the village's apron width limit at the right-of-way and your lot coverage. Widening to a full two-car drive adds to a like-for-like replacement, mostly in extra square footage and base.
