Concrete Driveway & Patio Installation in Belleville, MI
Lake homes and in-town houses: Belleville driveways and patios on sandy ground.
Belleville has two kinds of homes we see most: houses near Belleville Lake, where the patio is the room you live in all summer, and older in-town houses with a driveway and a modest backyard. In both cases a new driveway and patio make a pair. The driveway gets you home, the patio gets you outside, and on a Belleville lot it's worth planning how you walk from one to the other.
Wayne County · Sandy outwash
New concrete, planned around your Belleville lot
The ground here is sandier than the clay in eastern Wayne County. It drains well, so frost heave is less of a worry, but loose sand settles under weight. We compact a full-depth 21AA base in lifts and thicken the driveway where a boat trailer or truck parks. The City of Belleville sets the permit requirements, and we confirm them for your address before we start.
Sandy outwash
Sand and gravel laid down by glacial meltwater along the Rouge and Huron rivers, from Plymouth and Canton down to Belleville and Ypsilanti.
Sandy ground drains far better than clay, so frost heave is less of a problem. The risk is the opposite one: loose sand settles under weight if the base isn’t compacted properly, so slabs sink at the corners and along the tire lines.
Compaction done in lifts, a full-depth aggregate base, and a thicker section anywhere a truck, trailer or RV will park.
