Concrete Patio Installation in Westland, MI
A back patio that sheds the rain your clay yard won't.
A lot of Westland backyards still have the small slab that came with the house, poured somewhere between the 1950s and the 1970s and sinking a little more each spring. On lake-plain clay that slab tends to tilt toward the back wall, so rain runs at the foundation and pools by the door. A new concrete patio in Westland is a chance to start over with a real base and a pitch that carries water out into the yard.

A Westland patio, built from the ground up
We dig out the soft clay, bring in 21AA aggregate and compact it in lifts before any forms go up. The finished surface gets a gentle fall away from the house, enough to move water without making your chairs rock. Reinforcement, an air-entrained mix and control joints cut at the right spacing let the slab ride through a Michigan winter with its movement hidden in the joints.
Size is the part people most often get wrong. We'll mark the outline on your lawn with paint so you can set the table, the grill and a couple of lounge chairs inside it and walk around them before anything is poured. The City of Westland issues a zoning permit for a new patio with a plot plan and a sand-and-form inspection before the pour, and we handle that paperwork with you.
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.
