Concrete Driveway & Patio Installation in Van Buren Township, MI
Newer subdivisions, lake lots and sandy ground in Van Buren Township.
Van Buren Township wraps around most of Belleville Lake's shoreline, and a lot of its subdivisions went in from the 1990s on. Many of those homes are reaching the point where the builder's driveway looks tired and the small back slab no longer fits how the family lives. A new driveway and a larger patio, done together in Van Buren Township, can bring the outside of the house up to date in one season.
Wayne County · Sandy outwash
New concrete, planned around your Van Buren Township lot
The ground along the Huron River is sandy. It drains well and resists frost heave, but loose sand settles under weight, so we compact a full-depth 21AA base in lifts. Where a truck, trailer or RV parks, the driveway gets a thicker section. Van Buren Township sets the permit requirements, and many subdivisions have an HOA review. We prepare what the association asks for and confirm the township's requirements 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.
