Concrete Driveway & Patio Installation in Wixom, MI
Newer Wixom homes on rolling ground, with slabs built for the slope.
Wixom mixes newer homes on rolling ground with a lot of light-industrial and commercial property along the main corridors. For homeowners, the questions are usually about a builder-grade driveway that's already settling and a backyard that never got a real patio. The ground is glacial till, which can be clay in one corner and sand in the next. We proof-roll the subgrade on every Wixom job, replace the soft spots and build a thicker compacted base.

New concrete, planned around your Wixom lot
Drainage is the second part. On a rolling lot, water from above has to be carried around the slab, so we plan the grade for the driveway and patio together. We check with the City of Wixom on what the project needs, file MISS DIG and give you a written quote after a free visit. If you also manage a commercial lot in Wixom, ask us about flat work there.
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
