Concrete Patio Installation in Plymouth, MI
A neat patio for an older Plymouth home and its sandy yard.
Many of the older homes near downtown Plymouth sit close to the street, and the backyard is where the living happens. Those yards tend to be on the compact side, sometimes with an old garage or mature trees to work around. A new concrete patio in Plymouth needs to fit in neatly and look like it belongs with a house that's been there for generations.

A Plymouth patio, built from the ground up
The good news is the ground. Plymouth neighborhoods sit on sandier soil that drains well, so standing water is less of a problem than in eastern Wayne County. The catch is that loose sand settles if it isn't compacted, which is why we compact the base in lifts and pour on a full-depth aggregate layer. A slab built that way stays level at the corners and along the edges.
For an older house we often suggest a finish with some character, like a stamped pattern in a muted color or exposed aggregate that looks a bit like old stone. Steps from the back door are common too, since many of these homes sit up off the yard. We'll make sure the step rise is even and the landing is wide enough to carry a tray out comfortably.
Sand and gravel laid down by glacial meltwater along the Rouge and Huron rivers, from Plymouth and Canton down to Belleville and Ypsilanti.
Compaction done in lifts, a full-depth aggregate base, and a thicker section anywhere a truck, trailer or RV will park.
