Concrete Patio Installation in Wayne, MI
Room for the grill, and a slab that drains after the storm.
Wayne is mostly post-war homes on flat clay, and that ground has very little natural fall from the house to the back fence. After a summer storm the water just sits there, and an old backyard slab often sits right in it. When we build a new concrete patio in Wayne, the first question is where the water will go once it hits the surface.

A Wayne patio, built from the ground up
We answer that with the base and the grade. The soft clay comes out, compacted 21AA goes in, and the top of the slab is pitched gently away from your back wall toward the lowest part of the yard. On a really flat lot we may suggest a slightly larger fall at the outer edge or a gravel strip along it, so runoff has a place to soak in without creeping back toward the house.
Then comes the fun part, which is fitting the space to how you actually use it. Some Wayne families want a plain broom finish for the grill and a picnic table; others want a colored border or an exposed aggregate surface that looks good from the kitchen window. Bring the measurements of your furniture, and we'll lay it out with you on site.
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.
