Concrete Driveway Installation in Birmingham, MI
Tight Birmingham lots, clean edges, and a driveway that looks the part.
Birmingham's walkable neighborhoods are full of older homes on tight lots, where the driveway is often a slim run beside the house to a garage at the back. On streets like these, people notice the details: how the edges line up with the walk, where the joints fall, whether the color sits well against the brick or siding. A new driveway in Birmingham is judged by how it looks as much as how long it lasts.

A Birmingham driveway, built from the ground up
The part nobody sees still comes first. Birmingham sits on glacial till, so we proof-roll the subgrade, dig out soft pockets and compact 21AA in lifts. On a narrow lot we plan the slope so water runs toward the street and stays clear of the foundation and the neighbor's yard. Tight access means smaller equipment and careful staging, which we plan before demo day.
Then the detailing. We lay out control joints so they line up with the house and walks, and we offer stamped or colored borders, exposed aggregate and smooth troweled edges. Everything is air-entrained and sealed before winter. The City of Birmingham sets the permit requirements for driveway work, and we'll go over what your project needs during a free on-site estimate.
The hills of southern Oakland County, a mix of dense clay with pockets of sand and stone left by retreating glaciers.
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.
