Concrete Driveway & Patio Installation in Farmington Hills, MI
Rolling Farmington Hills lots, with the runoff carried around the slab.
Farmington Hills has rolling lots and plenty of 1970s to 1990s subdivisions, and many of those come with HOAs that have specific rules about driveway finishes. The ground is glacial till, where a soft clay pocket can sit right beside a sandy one. Add a sloped yard sending water downhill, and water management becomes as important as the concrete. Every Farmington Hills driveway and patio we build starts with a proof-roll, repaired soft spots and a thicker compacted base.
Oakland County · Rolling glacial till
New concrete, planned around your Farmington Hills lot
A lot of the original driveways from those decades are reaching the end of their life, and owners often want the patio done at the same time. For the approach at the street, the City of Farmington Hills Engineering Division issues a Right-of-Way Permit, with a deposit returned once the site is approved and the contractor's insurance certificate. We'll tell you what else the job needs and prepare what your HOA asks for.
Rolling glacial till
The hills of southern Oakland County, a mix of dense clay with pockets of sand and stone left by retreating glaciers.
Till is unpredictable from one end of a driveway to the other. A soft clay pocket next to a sandy one gives a slab uneven support, so it cracks and settles in patches. Add sloped lots and runoff coming downhill, and water management matters as much as the concrete itself.
Proof-roll the subgrade to find soft spots, replace them, build a thicker compacted base, and plan the grade so runoff is carried around the slab.
- Cracks and settling in uneven patches
- Runoff washing across the driveway from uphill
- Washed-out soil along slab edges
- Steep driveways that ice over
