Concrete Driveway Installation in Northville, MI
Hills, mixed soil and runoff: Northville driveways start with the grade.
Northville is hilly, and a lot of driveways here have real grade to manage, from a steep pitch up to a garage to a slope that carries the neighbor's runoff right across the slab. Add the historic homes near downtown, many set on tight lots, and a new driveway in Northville becomes a drainage project first and a concrete project second.

A Northville driveway, built from the ground up
The ground is glacial till, which changes from one end of a driveway to the other. A soft clay pocket can sit right next to sandy soil, and a slab poured over both settles unevenly and cracks in patches. We proof-roll the subgrade to find the soft spots, dig them out and build a thicker compacted base. Then the grade is planned so runoff is carried around the slab.
On a steep Northville driveway we pay attention to traction and to where water ends up at the bottom. A broom finish gives tires something to grip, and a swale or a pitched edge can steer runoff away from the garage. We'll check with the City of Northville on permits, file the MISS DIG ticket and give you a written quote after a free visit.
