Full-Project Paving for New Commercial Sites and Developments

George Bros Paving LLC provides complete new construction paving services in Sycamore, IL and across Northern Illinois — handling everything from rough grading and base preparation to final lift placement and striping. General contractors, developers, and property owners across DeKalb County and Kane County rely on us as the paving partner for new builds, site expansions, and ground-up commercial projects. Officially established in 2019 with three generations of paving experience behind it, our team coordinates with construction schedules and delivers paving that’s ready to perform on day one.

New construction paving is different from a parking lot replacement. The site is fresh, grades are being set for the first time, and the paving has to integrate cleanly with utilities, drainage, sidewalks, and structures all coming together at once. We’ve worked through these coordination challenges across decades — and we know how to keep our portion of the project on schedule without compromising what gets built.

Benefits of Professional New Construction Paving in Sycamore, IL

Getting paving right at the new construction phase pays off for the entire life of the property. The base, the grades, and the drainage are all being set for the first time — and the decisions made during construction determine how the pavement performs for the next two decades.

  • Proper drainage from day one — Grades are set to move water off the surface and away from buildings before paving even starts
  • Coordinated scheduling — We integrate with site contractors, concrete crews, and utility installers to keep the project moving
  • Mix designs matched to traffic — Heavy industrial sites, retail centers, and office complexes all need different specifications
  • Long-term performance — Pavement built on proper base with proper compaction lasts 20+ years with reasonable maintenance
  • Single-source accountability — One paving contractor responsible for everything from sub-base to final striping

Our New Construction Paving Process

  • Pre-Construction Coordination — We meet with the GC, civil engineer, or property owner to review plans, set schedules, and lock down specifications
  • Sub-Base Grading and Preparation — Site grades are established and compacted to the densities the engineering plans require
  • Aggregate Base Placement — Crushed stone base is installed and compacted to provide the foundation for the asphalt above
  • Binder Course Installation — The structural lift of asphalt is placed and compacted, providing the bulk of the pavement strength
  • Surface Course and Finishing — The final lift creates the smooth, sealed driving surface, followed by striping and any necessary signage

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work directly with general contractors?

Yes. New construction paving is regularly subcontracted, and we work as the paving subcontractor for GCs throughout Northern Illinois — coordinating schedules, attending project meetings, and integrating with site logistics.

Can you handle the grading and excavation as well as paving?

Yes. New construction paving frequently includes the rough grading, base prep, and final paving as a single package. We can coordinate the full sequence or work alongside a separate site contractor — whichever the project requires.

How early should paving be coordinated into a new construction project?

The earlier the better. Mix designs, lift thicknesses, drainage details, and base specifications all benefit from being decided during the planning phase rather than mid-project. A pre-construction meeting saves time and money.

What if utilities or storm structures need to be installed under the new paving?

We coordinate with utility installers and concrete crews to ensure all underground work is complete and properly compacted before paving begins. Saw cuts and patches around late-installed structures are also part of what we routinely handle.
