Concrete Driveway Installation in Allen Park, MI
Original driveways on brick homes, rebuilt with real drainage.
Allen Park is full of brick homes built between the 1940s and the 1960s, and plenty of them are still on their original driveways. Those slabs have outlived what anyone expected of them. Most were poured with little base and almost no slope, and decades of frost on flat clay have tilted the panels, opened the joints and left low spots that hold water long after a storm.

A Allen Park driveway, built from the ground up
On flat Allen Park lots, drainage design is the heart of a new driveway. We shoot the elevations from the garage floor to the curb, then dig out the soft lake-plain clay and replace it with compacted 21AA in lifts, shaped so the finished slab falls toward the street. Reinforcement, an air-entrained mix and control joints set at the right spacing come next.
A new driveway is also a chance to give an older brick home a fresh face. Many Allen Park homeowners keep a broom finish on the main slab and add a colored or stamped border that picks up the brick. We'll check what the City of Allen Park requires, file the MISS DIG ticket and give you a written quote after a free estimate. Our Romulus shop is close by.
Flat, slow-draining clay left behind by the glacial lakes that once covered most of Wayne County.
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.
