The Cicero paving market
Dense urban market; commercial paving. Cicero has a GeoNames population of about 83,900 and sits in Cook County. The nearest city with 500,000+ residents is Chicago, IL, 5 mi to the east of Cicero. It is the 11th-largest of the 12 Illinois cities in our directory.
Cicero's paving season typically runs May–October (about 6 months). Campaigns should be live by March, 6 to 8 weeks before the May start, and Nov–Apr is for retargeting, early-bird sealcoating inquiries and lower-budget awareness. 7 other Illinois cities share this season.
Cold-winter climate: Freeze-thaw cycles create a post-winter rush of pothole, crack and surface-failure repair calls, and sealcoating can only start once overnight lows stay above 50 degrees.
