Walkways do more than connect spaces, they add safety and curb appeal. We install even, durable paths for gardens, entryways, and side yards that enhance the flow of your property.
Stairs should be both safe and visually appealing. We pour concrete steps that stand strong under heavy use, while matching the look of your home or business.
Accessibility matters, and our ramps are built to meet code while blending with the design of your property. They’re functional, sturdy, and easy to use for homes and commercial spaces alike.
Every garage needs a solid base. We construct foundations and footings that meet building standards and resist settling, giving your garage dependable support for the long term.

Brick patios never go out of style. We build custom paver patios that combine elegance with durability, giving you a timeless outdoor space designed to last.
Paver walkways bring character and charm to any landscape. We lay each stone carefully so the finished path is both attractive and strong enough to withstand years of use.
Paver driveways combine strength with flexibility. Not only do they resist cracking, but if one paver is ever damaged, it can be replaced without tearing out the entire driveway.
Retaining walls are about more than holding back soil, they add structure and beauty to your property. Our walls are built with quality materials, offering both function and long-lasting appeal.

Incorrect Slope Installation
When surfaces aren’t graded properly, water pools and causes damage. We slope every slab correctly to protect nearby foundations, landscaping, and surfaces from long-term problems.
Low-Strength Concrete Mixes
Cheap or poorly mixed concrete won’t last. We use high-quality blends designed for strength and durability, ensuring your driveway or patio holds up for decades.
Missing Reinforcement
Concrete needs reinforcement to stay strong. We include rebar or mesh in every pour to prevent shifting and add structural support.
Uneven Finishing
Rushed finishing can lead to rough or uneven surfaces. Our team takes the time to achieve smooth, consistent finishes that not only look good but also stand up to daily wear.
Lack of Control Joints
Without control joints, cracks spread quickly. We plan and cut clean joints to manage natural expansion and extend the life of your concrete.
Look for Local Experience
Contractors who know Naperville’s climate and soil conditions build projects designed to last. Local knowledge makes a difference in preventing common issues.
Check Licensing and Insurance
A professional contractor should carry the right credentials and insurance. This protects both you and your property during the project.
Ask About Project Timelines
Clear scheduling upfront prevents unnecessary delays. Reliable crews set realistic timelines and stick to them so you know exactly what to expect.
Compare Material Quality
Not all concrete mixes are the same. Ask about the materials being used to ensure they meet strength and durability standards for long-term performance.
Evaluate Communication
The best contractors keep you informed from start to finish. Open communication means you’ll always know what’s happening on your project.
At Brix and Crete, we check every one of these boxes. Our clients count on us for open communication, honest pricing, and a team that takes pride in delivering top-quality results every time.
Sweep and Rinse Regularly
Keeping concrete free from dirt and debris reduces surface wear. Routine cleaning helps maintain appearance and prevents buildup that can stain.
Use Mats in High-Traffic Areas
Placing mats near entryways or driveways reduces wear from foot traffic, tires, and heavy equipment, preserving the finish longer.
Control Heavy Loads
Avoid placing dumpsters, RVs, or machinery on residential slabs. Concrete is strong, but consistent overload can cause cracks and stress damage.
Monitor Drainage Around Slabs
Poor water runoff can undermine concrete. Make sure gutters, downspouts, and landscaping direct water away from surfaces to prevent erosion.
Plan Seasonal Maintenance
Spring and fall are good times to reseal, inspect for cracks, and check drainage. Seasonal care ensures your concrete is ready for changing weather.
