Concrete Driveway Installation in Garden City, MI

A long, narrow run back to the garage, poured to drain the whole way.

Garden City lots are small and the driveways tend to be narrow, often a single lane running alongside the house to a detached garage in the back yard. That long strip has a hard job. It squeezes between the house and the property line, it carries every bit of roof water from that side, and on lake-plain clay it tends to sink near the garage and crack where the walk crosses it.

Driveway Installation in Garden City

A Garden City driveway, built from the ground up

When we replace one, the layout comes first. We measure the gap between the house and the lot line, decide whether there's room to widen near the street, and plan a slope that carries water down the length of the run toward the street and away from the foundation. Then the soft clay comes out and compacted 21AA goes in, with reinforcement and control joints spaced for a long, skinny slab.

Garden City is a short drive from our Romulus shop, and we work in Westland, Inkster and Dearborn Heights all around it. We'll check what the City of Garden City requires for your driveway and approach. Every estimate is free and on-site, and you'll get a written quote before any work is scheduled.

Lake-plain clay under Garden City

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.
