Concrete Driveway Installation in Farmington Hills, MI
Farmington Hills driveways built for the slope they sit on.
Much of Farmington Hills was built out in the 1970s, 80s and 90s, on rolling lots where the driveway often climbs or drops between the street and the garage. Those original slabs are reaching the end of their life. Water coming downhill has worked its way underneath, and the glacial till below swings between sandy and soft clay pockets, so the cracks show up in patches.

A Farmington Hills driveway, built from the ground up
On a Farmington Hills driveway we treat water as half the job. Before forming, we look at where runoff enters the lot and where it needs to leave, and we shape the grade so it travels around the slab to the street. The subgrade gets proof-rolled, soft pockets come out, and a thicker compacted 21AA base goes in. The slab itself is air-entrained concrete with reinforcement and planned control joints.
A new approach in the right-of-way needs a Right-of-Way Permit from the City of Farmington Hills Engineering Division, with a deposit returned once the site is approved and our insurance certificate on file. Many subdivisions here also have HOAs with rules about driveway finishes, and we'll prepare what their review asks for. The estimate is free, and the quote comes in writing.
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.
