Concrete Patio Installation in Dearborn Heights, MI
Behind the bungalow, a patio that meets the driveway.
Dearborn Heights is full of brick bungalows and ranches with long, narrow driveways that run back to a garage behind the house. That layout shapes the backyard: the driveway runs along one side, the garage sits at the end, and the patio has to fit into what's left. A new concrete patio in Dearborn Heights often works best when it's designed with the driveway and garage in mind.

A Dearborn Heights patio, built from the ground up
Sometimes that means the patio meets the driveway so you can roll a grill or a cooler straight out of the garage. Sometimes it means a small slab off the side door that steps down to the yard. We'll look at how you come and go, where the trash cans live and where the kids cut through, then shape the patio around it. A patio that follows those routes gets used every day.
The ground is flat lake-plain clay, which holds water and moves with the frost. We dig out the soft layer, compact a 21AA base and pitch the slab away from the house and the garage. Where the patio meets the driveway, we set a joint so the two slabs can move separately through the winter. Air-entrained concrete, reinforcement and a sealer before the first cold season round it out.
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.
