Why concrete matters
Concrete is one of the most durable, versatile, and cost-effective building materials available. A properly installed concrete driveway, patio, or walkway increases curb appeal, raises property value, and reduces long-term maintenance costs. For Wheaton’s climate—freeze-thaw cycles, snow, and frequent moisture—quality concrete work means resilience against cracking, heaving, and water penetration. Investing in professional concrete installation and waterproofing protects your property, improves safety, and saves money over decades.

How Harold Westwood Concrete Inc can help
Initial consultation
We begin with a thorough on-site assessment. For driveways and large projects, we evaluate existing conditions—soil, drainage, slope, existing concrete condition—and discuss design preferences and budget.
Custom design & materials selection
Choose from standard gray concrete, colored concrete, stamped patterns (stone, slate, brick), exposed aggregate, and hand-troweled finishes. We explain pros and cons of each finish relative to climate, desired look, and maintenance.
Prep & excavation
Proper base preparation is critical. We remove unsuitable soil, backfill with properly compacted granular base, and grade the area for drainage away from the foundation.
Reinforcement & placement
We place reinforcement—steel rebar or wire mesh—where required and specify concrete mixes and admixtures (air entrainment, water reducers) designed for freeze-thaw resistance. During placement, we monitor slump, consolidation, and finishing to ensure a durable, uniform surface.
Curing & finishing
We apply appropriate curing methods (curing compounds, wet curing) and finish surfaces to meet slip-resistance and aesthetics. For decorative concrete, we coordinate color hardeners, release agents, and sealants to preserve appearance.
Waterproofing & drainage
For patios, foundations, and retaining walls, we integrate waterproofing membranes, positive drainage solutions, and expansion joints to manage moisture.
