Concrete Patio Installation in Walled Lake, MI
A patio for a lake cottage that became a full-time home.
Walled Lake is a small city on the south shore of the lake it's named after. Many of the older homes started as summer cottages and became year-round houses over time, often with additions and a back door that ended up in an odd spot. Newer builds sit beside them on rolling ground. A new concrete patio here usually has to work with a lot that wasn't planned all at once.

A Walled Lake patio, built from the ground up
The ground is glacial till, and near the lake it can stay damp well into spring. We dig out, proof-roll the subgrade, replace soft spots and compact a 21AA base in lifts. The slope is set so water leaves the slab and runs away from the house, which matters on a lot where the yard slopes toward the water and the house sits below the road.
Lake life means grills, coolers and wet feet. A broom or exposed aggregate finish gives good grip when someone walks up from the water. We can pour steps from the back door, a pad for a fire pit for evenings outside, and a patio sized to fit a table without crowding a narrow lot in Walled Lake.
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.
