Concrete Driveway Installation in Livonia, MI
Room for two cars on a ranch built for one.
Livonia has an enormous number of 1950s and '60s ranch houses, and a lot of them still have the single-car driveway they were built with. Two drivers and one lane means somebody parks on the lawn or shuffles cars every morning. A new driveway is the right moment to fix that, since widening a slab that's already being replaced takes far less effort than adding a strip beside an old one.

A Livonia driveway, built from the ground up
Underneath, Livonia is lake-plain clay that stays wet in spring, so we treat the base as the real project. The old concrete and soft clay come out, compacted 21AA goes back in lifts, and the grade is set so water runs to the street and away from your basement walls. We pour an air-entrained mix with reinforcement and control joints, and seal it before the first winter.
The approach at the street is its own piece. Livonia's Engineering Division issues permits for new and replacement drive approaches, and its standard detail calls for a six-inch concrete approach, with city approval needed for a curb cut over 25 feet. We'll tell you what your project needs and help with any HOA review. Estimates are free, and every quote is written.
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.
