Concrete Driveway & Patio Installation in Redford, MI
Redford's usual pair: a new driveway out front and a patio out back.
In Redford, the two jobs we're asked about most are a new driveway and a backyard patio, and plenty of homeowners do them together. The post-war ranches and bungalows here sit on modest lots, so every square foot of concrete has a purpose: room to park, a path to the back door, and a patio big enough for a table and a grill. We lay it all out on the lot first so you can see how it fits.
Wayne County · Lake-plain clay
New concrete, planned around your Redford lot
The ground is lake-plain clay that holds water, so both slabs go on compacted 21AA after the soft clay comes out. We set a fall on each one and pour an air-entrained mix with reinforcement. Redford Township handles permits for this work, and we check what your project needs before we dig. Your written quote lists the driveway and patio separately, and Wisetack financing is available.
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.
