Concrete Driveway Installation in Van Buren Township, MI

Sandy ground along the Huron, and driveways built to carry the weight.

A lot of Van Buren Township was built from the 1990s on, in subdivisions along the Huron River and around most of Belleville Lake's shoreline. The ground there is sandy. It drains well and frost heave is a smaller issue than in clay towns, but sand settles under weight when the base below a slab was never properly compacted. Sunken corners and dips along the tire lines are what that looks like.

Driveway Installation in Van Buren Township

A Van Buren Township driveway, built from the ground up

When we replace a driveway in Van Buren Township, the compaction is where the time goes. We build a full-depth aggregate base and compact it in lifts, checking it as we go, then thicken the slab under the spot where a truck, trailer or boat will sit. An air-entrained mix, reinforcement and control joints handle the rest of what a Michigan winter brings.

Many Van Buren subdivisions have HOA rules on driveway width and finish, and we build to them. We can prepare what your HOA review asks for and check what Van Buren Township requires before we schedule. Our Romulus shop is a short drive away. Estimates are free, quotes are written and financing through Wisetack is available.

Questions and answers

Driveway Installation in Van Buren Township: what people ask us

On sandy ground, dips along the tire lines usually mean the base wasn't compacted well when the house was built. The sand kept settling under the weight. We compact the new base in lifts so the support is even across the whole slab.
