Algonquin, Illinois continues to grow, and with it comes more homeowners and businesses upgrading their driveways and parking lots. After another tough Midwest winter, many Algonquin driveways are showing cracking, drainage issues, sinking spots, and general wear.

At Stanley’s Paving, we’ve been paving Northern Illinois since 1971 — and 2026 is shaping up to be one of the busiest driveway and parking lot seasons in years. If your Algonquin property needs a fresh, long-lasting asphalt surface, here’s what you need to know.

❄️ 1. Winter 2025–2026 Was Especially Hard on Algonquin Surfaces

This past winter brought:

• Freeze–thaw cycles

• Heavy snow

• Ice expansion

• Salt and chemical corrosion

• Weeks of moisture retention

These conditions lead to:

• Surface cracking

• Edge breakup

• Alligator cracking

• Low spots

• Potholes

• Reduced lifespan

A proper asphalt installation in Algonquin requires a strong base, professional grading, and correct compaction — the main reasons homeowners call Stanley’s Paving.

🛣️ 2. Asphalt Is the Best Choice for Algonquin Driveways in 2026

Homeowners choose asphalt because it offers:

• A clean, modern look

• Better flexibility than concrete

• Faster installation

• Lower cost

• Strong winter performance

• Easy future resurfacing

A high-quality asphalt driveway can last 25–30+ years with proper maintenance.

🏡 3. Driveway Resurfacing Saves Algonquin Homeowners Thousands

If your driveway still has a solid foundation, resurfacing (overlay) may be the best solution.

Perfect when you have:

• Moderate surface cracking

• Light potholes

• Wear from salt

• Weather fading

• A strong base underneath

Resurfacing restores your driveway for a fraction of the cost of replacement.

⚒️ 4. Commercial Asphalt for Algonquin Businesses

We work with:

• Retail plazas

• Industrial properties

• Medical buildings

• Restaurants

• Small businesses

• HOA communities

Our commercial services include:

• New parking lot construction

• Milling & resurfacing

• Pothole repair

• Line striping

• ADA-compliant layouts

• Full parking lot replacements

Your parking lot is the first impression your customers see — we help you make it a strong one.

📈 5. A New Driveway Adds Immediate Value in Algonquin

In neighborhoods like:

• Willoughby Farms

• Algonquin Lakes

• Tunbridge

• Eagle Ridge

• Gaslight North/South

• Huntington

…a fresh asphalt driveway can dramatically improve curb appeal and property value.

A strong, clean driveway makes your home look newer and boosts resale interest.
