Concrete Driveway Installation in Inkster, MI

A driveway in Inkster that finally sends the water somewhere.

Much of Inkster's housing is older, and so are the driveways. On flat clay that drains slowly, those slabs have spent decades heaving in winter and settling in spring. The results are easy to spot from the street: a driveway that tips toward the house, a corner that has dropped an inch or two, a crack running across the middle where the ground moved underneath.

Driveway Installation in Inkster

A Inkster driveway, built from the ground up

Replacing a tipped or sunken driveway in Inkster is most of the work we do here, and it always starts below the concrete. We break out the old slab, dig out the wet clay and rebuild with compacted 21AA in lifts. The base is graded so water runs toward the street and away from the foundation. Reinforcement, an air-entrained mix and control joints finish the job.

Inkster is close to our Romulus shop, between Westland, Dearborn Heights and Wayne. We'll come out for a free estimate, measure the fall to the street and give you a written quote that spells out the base work. We'll check what the City of Inkster requires for the driveway and approach. Financing through Wisetack lets you prequalify without affecting your credit.

Lake-plain clay under Inkster

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.

Questions and answers

Driveway Installation in Inkster: what people ask us

When the clay under one corner has given way, the rest of the base is usually weak too. A full new install lets us dig out the soft ground everywhere and pour one slab at an even grade. We'll show you what we find once the old concrete is out.
