Concrete Patio Installation in Northville, MI
A level patio on a Northville lot that slopes.
Northville lots have grade. Many of the homes near downtown sit on hillsides, and a patio has to be level enough for a table while the yard around it keeps falling away. Before we pick a finish, we figure out where the patio sits on that slope, how many steps it needs, and where the water coming downhill will go.

A Northville patio, built from the ground up
The ground here is rolling glacial till, which changes from one end of a slab to the other. A soft clay pocket can sit next to a sandy one, and that uneven support is what makes patios crack and settle in patches. We proof-roll the subgrade to find soft spots, replace them, and build a thicker compacted base so the slab has even support from edge to edge.
Runoff is the other half of the job. On a hillside lot, water heading downhill will happily run under a patio if nothing stops it. We plan the grade so water is carried around the slab, sometimes with a swale or a gravel strip along the uphill side. A new concrete patio in Northville built that way stays put and stays dry.
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.
