Concrete Patio Installation in Dearborn, MI
A backyard patio that sends the spring water somewhere else.
Dearborn's older neighborhoods are full of 1920s to 1950s homes with narrow side driveways and a backyard that's often bigger than people expect. That yard is a natural spot for a patio. The ground under it is lake-plain clay, though, and clay holds water. In spring the water table sits close to the surface, and a patio poured straight on that clay will lift in winter and settle unevenly when it thaws.

A Dearborn patio, built from the ground up
A new concrete patio in Dearborn starts with digging out the soft clay and replacing it with compacted 21AA aggregate base. Then we set the slope so rain and snowmelt run off the slab and away from the house. Many of these homes have older basements, and the last thing you want is a patio that tips back and feeds water toward the foundation wall.
With the base sorted, the fun part is how it looks. A broom finish is practical and affordable. Stamped patterns, a colored border or exposed aggregate dress it up. We can pour a landing and steps from the back door, a pad for a fire pit at the far end of the yard, and enough room for a grill and a table for the whole family.
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.
