Montgomery sits on the south edge of Aurora's sprawl, where the older river-town character gives way to fast-growing subdivisions stretching into Will County, and where heavy clay ground and freeze-thaw winters make concrete work both essential and demanding.
Homeowners and property managers in Montgomery (60538) call Aurora Concrete because we know this terrain. We understand the clay-heavy soil that holds water against your slab, the frost heave that lifts your front walk every spring, and the salt-and-ice damage that scales driveways and sidewalks by March. We've poured and repaired flatwork across Aurora and the surrounding areas for years, and we show up ready to do the job right the first time.
Concrete in Montgomery (60538)
Montgomery's mix of 1880s-1920s Victorian homes near the river, mid-century Capes and ranches in the central blocks, and newer subdivisions with three-car garages and wide driveways all share one reality: they sit on glacial till. That means silty clay loam over dense, slow-draining clay that holds moisture against your concrete slab. Water trapped underneath causes heave, cracking, and spalling when the frost line drops and freezes expand the ground. Add a dozen freeze-thaw cycles every winter, road salt, de-icer, and heavy snow, and you get the typical Montgomery concrete failure: sealed driveways that pit and scale, sidewalk panels that crack and lift, and driveway aprons that settle and create trip hazards.
Proper grading, compacted gravel bases, good jointing, and regular sealing make the difference between a slab that lasts decades and one that fails in five years. Our team has built and repaired driveways, slabs, and foundations across Montgomery and the Aurora area long enough to know what works in this soil and climate. We size bases for drainage, set joints to move with the freeze-thaw cycle, and recommend sealing schedules that keep water out.

How a Job Works in Montgomery
We start with a free on-site assessment. You call us at (331) 336-0875 or describe what you need, and we schedule a visit to your Montgomery property. We look at the ground, the drainage, the access (tight lots and alley garages are common here), and what's already there. We walk you through the work, answer your questions, and give you a clear estimate in writing.
Then we do the work. For a new driveway or patio, we excavate, compact a proper gravel base, set forms, pour and finish the concrete, and cut control joints to let the slab move safely. For repair or resurfacing, we assess whether the base is sound or if the slab needs lifting. For driveways in Montgomery's older neighborhoods, we often work in tight spaces near alley garages and neighboring properties, so we plan access carefully and coordinate with HOAs or shared driveways where needed. We handle any local permits required for driveway cuts, right-of-way work, or setback compliance.
When we're done, we clean up completely. You get a final walkthrough, and your concrete is ready to use. We seal new work as needed and leave you with care instructions so your investment lasts.
Pricing in Montgomery depends on the size of the job, ground conditions, access, and what's already there. A typical driveway runs from $6 per square foot for basic flatwork; a patio is similar. Stamped or decorative finishes start at $10 per square foot. Repair and resurfacing range from $3 to $5 per square foot depending on what needs fixing. Concrete leveling and slab lifting (common for sunken walks and driveways here) start at $4 per square foot. Sealing costs $0.75 per square foot and is one of the best investments you can make in Montgomery's climate. For a free estimate tailored to your property, call us at (331) 336-0875. We'll visit, measure, and give you a realistic number before any work begins.
