Concrete Driveway Installation in Dearborn Heights, MI
A long driveway to the back garage, built to stay flat end to end.
Dearborn Heights is full of brick bungalows and ranches with long, narrow driveways that run past the house to a garage in back. Those driveways are often the oldest concrete on the property. Decades of wet clay and frost have left many of them heaved at the joints, sunk near the garage and tilted toward the house where the downspouts empty.

A Dearborn Heights driveway, built from the ground up
A new one starts with the whole run removed and the soft lake-plain clay dug out. We rebuild with compacted 21AA in lifts and set the grade to move water down the length of the slab and away from the foundation. On a long, narrow driveway the joint spacing matters, so we lay out control joints to keep each panel a sensible size.
At the garage end, a lot of Dearborn Heights homeowners ask us to add a parking pad or a wider apron so they can turn around or fit a second car. That's easy to plan during a full install. We'll check what the City of Dearborn Heights requires, give you a written quote after a free visit, and our Romulus crew 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.
