Concrete Patio Installation in Garden City, MI
A patio that fits between the back door and the garage.
Garden City lots are small, and many of them have a detached garage at the back with a narrow strip of yard between it and the house. That strip is often the only outdoor living space you've got. A new concrete patio in Garden City has to fit that space well, leaving room to get the mower and the trash cans through.

A Garden City patio, built from the ground up
We usually look at the yard as one piece: the back door, the path to the garage and the area where you'd actually sit. Sometimes the best plan is a patio that joins the walk to the garage, so the whole route stays clean and dry in the spring. Other times a separate slab with a small step off the back door works better. We'll sketch both on the ground.
Underneath, the ground is the same flat lake-plain clay as the rest of this part of Wayne County. We remove the soft layer, build a compacted 21AA base and pitch the slab away from the house and toward a spot where water can drain. With so little room on these lots, getting that runoff right matters, because it has nowhere else to go.
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.
