Concrete Driveway Installation in Walled Lake, MI
Lake cottage driveways in Walled Lake, rebuilt for year-round use.
Walled Lake grew up around the lake itself. Plenty of homes near the south shore began as summer cottages, and their driveways were built for a few weekend cars. Now those houses are lived in all year, with daily commutes, snow to clear and more vehicles in the drive. Gravel strips and thin old slabs that were fine in July don't hold up to a Michigan January.

A Walled Lake driveway, built from the ground up
Putting in a new concrete driveway in Walled Lake usually means starting over underneath. The ground is rolling glacial till, and on a lake lot the water table and runoff toward the shore both matter. We proof-roll the subgrade, replace soft spots with compacted 21AA in lifts, and set the grade so water heads off the slab and away from the house. On short, steep lots we plan the slope with extra care.
Newer homes in town get the same base work, with room for wider layouts and decorative edges. We pour air-entrained concrete with rebar or fiber, cut control joints and seal the slab before its first winter. The City of Walled Lake decides which permits apply, and we'll go over that with you at the free on-site estimate. We also work in neighboring Commerce Township, Wixom and Novi.
The hills of southern Oakland County, a mix of dense clay with pockets of sand and stone left by retreating glaciers.
Proof-roll the subgrade to find soft spots, replace them, build a thicker compacted base, and plan the grade so runoff is carried around the slab.
