Concrete Driveway & Patio Installation in Allen Park, MI
Allen Park brick homes deserve a driveway and patio built as well as they were.
Allen Park is full of brick homes from the 1940s to the 1960s, built to last, and many still have their original driveways. After that many winters, those slabs have cracked, tipped and settled, and the back patio, if there is one, is often in the same shape. Replacing the driveway and building a new patio together lets an Allen Park home's concrete catch up with its brick.
Wayne County · Lake-plain clay
New concrete, planned around your Allen Park lot
Flat clay means drainage design matters on every pour. We dig out the soft clay, put back compacted 21AA and set a fall on each slab toward the street or the yard. An air-entrained mix and reinforcement handle the freeze-thaw. The City of Allen Park sets the permit requirements, and we confirm them for your address. Our shop is in Romulus, just west, so scheduling is easy.
Lake-plain clay
Flat, slow-draining clay left behind by the glacial lakes that once covered most of Wayne County.
This clay holds water and drains slowly, and in spring the water table sits close to the surface. When that water freezes, it lifts the slab above it; when it thaws, the softened clay lets the slab settle back unevenly. That cycle is why so many driveways here tip toward the garage, crack at the apron and hold puddles after a storm.
Dig out the soft clay, replace it with compacted 21AA aggregate base, and set the slope so water runs off the slab and away from the house.
