Concrete Driveway Installation in Westland, MI
A driveway that drains, on ground that doesn't want to.
Most Westland streets went in between the 1950s and the 1970s, and a lot of the driveways on them are the originals. They were poured straight onto Wayne County clay, and after fifty-some winters they tip toward the garage, hold a puddle at the apron and crack wherever the frost pushed hardest. A new driveway in Westland starts underneath, with the soft clay dug out and a compacted 21AA base put back in its place.

A Westland driveway, built from the ground up
We set the grade before a single form goes in. On flat lake-plain lots there's very little natural fall, so every inch of slope gets planned so rain and snowmelt run toward the street and away from your foundation. Then we pour an air-entrained mix with reinforcement and cut control joints where the slab will want to move, so a hard January shows up as a clean line in a joint.
Our shop is a short drive away on Heyer Street in Romulus, so Westland jobs fit easily into our week. The City of Westland handles the zoning permit, the sand-and-form inspection and the right-of-way permit for the approach, and we'll walk you through which ones your project needs. If you've been squeezing two cars onto a one-car slab, this is a good moment to widen it.
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.
