Concrete Driveway Installation in Farmington, MI
Old Farmington trees, and a new driveway that makes room for them.
Farmington's older neighborhoods around the historic downtown are shaded by big, mature trees, and those trees are often the reason a homeowner calls us. Roots spread under the original driveway, lift a panel here and there, and leave edges that catch a snow shovel. Under the roots is glacial till, which shifts between firm and soft from one end of a slab to the other.

A Farmington driveway, built from the ground up
A new concrete driveway in Farmington starts with a careful dig. We cut back roots that sit inside the new base, take out the soft and organic soil, and proof-roll what's left to find weak spots. Then compacted 21AA goes back in lifts. Where a large tree stands close to the drive, we talk through the layout with you so the slab and the tree both have a future.
We pour an air-entrained mix with rebar or fiber, cut joints on a plan and seal the slab before winter. If the approach at the street is part of the job, Farmington's Department of Public Works issues a right-of-way permit, with a cash bond returned once the site is approved and proof of insurance on file. We take care of that paperwork and tell you what else the job needs.
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.
