New Asphalt Driveway & Garage Project in Antioch, IL

Kaplan Paving and Heartland Garage Builders Team Up Again

Kaplan Paving and Heartland Garage Builders recently teamed up for another successful garage and driveway transformation in Antioch, IL. The project combined a brand-new detached garage with a new concrete apron and a completely replaced asphalt driveway, giving the property a fresh look and a much more functional entrance.

The existing driveway had reached the end of its useful life and needed more than a cosmetic improvement. By coordinating the driveway replacement with the new garage construction, the teams created a finished project that looks like one complete package.

Making Room for the New Detached Garage

Heartland Garage Builders constructed the new detached garage, providing the homeowners with additional covered parking and storage space.

A new concrete apron was installed in front of the garage doors, creating a durable transition between the garage and asphalt driveway. Coordinating the elevations of the garage, apron, and driveway was especially important to creating a smooth finished surface and ensuring proper water flow.

Removing and Regrading the Old Driveway

Before installing the new asphalt, Kaplan Paving completely removed the old, worn-out driveway.

With the existing pavement gone, the crew could address the grading beneath the surface. The crew regraded the driveway area to establish proper water flow, an important step in preventing standing water and protecting the new pavement.

This preparation is critical to a professional driveway replacement. What happens beneath the asphalt can be just as important to long-term performance as the finished surface homeowners see.

A Fresh Asphalt Driveway Completes the Transformation

Once the grading and preparation were complete, Kaplan Paving installed the new asphalt driveway.

As the finished project photos show, the fresh blacktop creates a smooth, clean approach to the new detached garage and dramatically improves the property’s overall appearance. The driveway, concrete apron, and garage work together seamlessly, creating a practical upgrade that also adds significant curb appeal.

Everything came together beautifully.
