Concrete Driveway & Patio Installation in Westland, MI

One crew, one schedule, and a driveway and patio that drain the same way.

A lot of Westland homes are ready for both at once: an original driveway that tips toward the garage, and a cracked back slab or bare patch of lawn where a patio should be. Doing the two together in Westland means one tear-out, one base delivery and one set of concrete trucks, and the grade from the front apron to the back door gets planned as a single piece. On lake-plain clay that matters, because water has to leave both slabs and head away from the foundation.

Driveways and patios in Westland

New concrete, planned around your Westland lot

Our shop is on Heyer Street in Romulus, a few minutes south, so Westland sits right in the middle of our routes. The City of Westland issues a zoning permit with a plot plan and a sand-and-form inspection for a new driveway or patio, and the approach and any curb cut need a separate right-of-way permit. We sort out which ones apply when we measure, then hand you a written quote with the driveway and patio priced line by line.

The ground under Westland

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.

How we build in Westland

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.

What fails here first
  • Driveway tipping back toward the garage
  • Puddles that sit for hours after rain
  • Cracks opening at the garage apron
  • Panels lifted in winter and sunk by summer

Signs it’s time for new concrete in Westland

One of these is worth an estimate. Several together usually mean the base underneath has given up, and a new slab on a rebuilt base is the fix that lasts.

Westland questions

Straight answers

Usually, yes. One excavation, one base delivery and one round of permits covers both, and we can plan the drainage of the two slabs together. It also trims the setup costs you'd pay twice on separate jobs.

Typical prices for every project are in the Metro Detroit cost guide, and more answers are on the FAQ page.
