Concrete Patio Installation in Inkster, MI
A new patio that sits flat on Inkster's slow-draining clay.
Inkster has a lot of older housing on flat, slow-draining clay. Many backyards still have an original slab that has tipped, sunk or cracked into pieces, and water pools on it after every rain. Replacing it with a properly drained patio is a big part of our work here. Most people tell us they stopped using the backyard years ago because the old slab was always wet, uneven or cracked under the chairs.

A Inkster patio, built from the ground up
A new concrete patio in Inkster starts by tearing out the old slab and digging out the soft clay underneath. We put back compacted 21AA aggregate, set a pitch that carries water away from the house, and pour an air-entrained mix with reinforcement and control joints. The result is a flat, dry surface that handles freeze-thaw winters, with the joints placed where they line up with the house and the steps.
We keep the design practical and sized to what you'll use. A broom finish is grippy and easy to clean, and a colored or stamped border adds some style without a big jump in cost. If you'd like to spread the payments out, financing through Wisetack is available, and prequalifying doesn't affect your credit. We'll put the whole job in a written quote so you know what's included before anything is torn 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.
