Concrete Patio Installation in Commerce Township, MI

A patio that faces the water and drains the right way.

Commerce Township is lakes, hills and newer subdivisions, and a lot of backyards here look out over the water. That view is why people want a patio, and it's also why the grade needs care. The house usually sits above the shoreline, the yard slopes toward the lake, and water coming off the roof has to go somewhere.

Patio Installation in Commerce Township

A Commerce Township patio, built from the ground up

The ground is rolling glacial till, with clay and sand mixed across a single lot. Subdivision yards can also have fill left over from construction. We dig out, proof-roll the subgrade, replace soft areas and compact a 21AA base in lifts. The patio is sloped away from the foundation, and we shape the ground so runoff spreads across the lawn on its way down.

Lake days mean a lot of traffic: grills, coolers, kids running in and out. A broom or exposed aggregate finish handles wet feet well. Stamped concrete with a colored border looks sharp facing the water. We can add steps from the door wall, a fire-pit pad for evenings and a hot-tub pad, all sized for how your Commerce Township family uses the yard.

Rolling glacial till under Commerce Township

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.

Questions and answers

Patio Installation in Commerce Township: what people ask us

We cut and fill to make a level area, then set a slight fall away from the house. Runoff spreads across the lawn on its way downhill. On steeper yards, a step or short retaining edge may be part of the design.
