What Clinton Township Concrete Has to Survive
Decades-old driveways and walks
Clinton Township’s Master Plan shows that most of its homes were built between 1960 and 1999, with roughly 32,700 units from those four decades and far fewer since 2000. Many driveways, walks and steps in the township were poured when those houses went up. Concrete that old has been through a lot of Michigan winters, tree roots and delivery trucks, and it tends to show it: slabs that have sunk near the garage, trip edges on the front walk, and steps pulling away from the house.
Freeze-thaw and road salt
Freeze-thaw is the enemy of exterior concrete here. According to the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association, concrete that is saturated with water and repeatedly frozen and thawed is prone to scaling, the flaking and peeling of the surface, and deicing chemicals make it worse. The group’s guidance for slabs exposed to freezing and deicers calls for air-entrained concrete, a specified strength of 4,000 psi, proper finishing that does not work bleed water into the surface, good curing, and a breathable sealer.
For you, that means two things. First, ask any contractor what mix and finishing practices they plan to use for a driveway that will see salt. Second, go easy on deicers, especially the first winter. Salt spray from plowed streets and the brine your car drags in from the road end up on the driveway and garage apron either way, so hosing them off during a thaw helps.
Drainage and settling
Water that runs toward the house or sits in low spots does more damage than almost anything else, and it is often why old slabs sink or heave. A replacement is the time to correct slope so water moves away from the garage and foundation and toward the yard or street. Proper base preparation before the pour is what keeps a new slab from settling like the old one did.
Steps and front walks get the hardest use
Front steps and the walk to the door take the worst of winter: shoveling, ice melt tracked back and forth, and water dripping off the roof edge right onto the landing. When steps start to tip or separate from the house, or the walk has heaved into a trip hazard, replacing them together lets us set consistent riser heights and a landing that sheds water. An exposed aggregate or lightly textured finish also gives better traction than a smooth trowel finish when things get slick.
Our Concrete Process From Estimate to Cleanup
- Free on-site estimate. We measure, check slopes and drainage, and talk through finish options and budget.
- Written proposal. Removal, base work, finish, color and any steps or borders are listed clearly. Financing is available.
- Permits. Our office files for the permits the township requires and coordinates any inspections.
- Tear-out and prep. Old concrete is broken out and hauled away, and the base is graded and compacted.
- Forming and pour. Forms are set to the planned slope and the concrete is placed, finished and jointed to control cracking.
- Decorative work. Stamping, color or exposed aggregate finishing is done at the right point in the cure.
- Curing and cleanup. The slab cures, the forms come out and we clean up after ourselves.
- Walk-through. We go over the finished work and explain when you can walk and drive on it and how to care for it.
I had my concrete driveway and sidewalk replaced last month, and they did a fantastic job. Katie and Rob were very responsive to any questions I had. The work was done in 3 days including a decorative edge. The workers cleaned the area every day.

Clinton Township Concrete FAQs
Should I replace my cracked Clinton Township driveway or just patch it?
Hairline cracks are normal and do not always mean replacement. Patching rarely lasts, though, when slabs have heaved or sunk, when the surface is flaking badly, or when water pools toward the garage or house. If your driveway dates to when the house was built in the 1960s through 1990s, like much of the township, it may be near the end of its useful life. We will tell you honestly which situation you are in.
Can I use salt on my new concrete driveway this winter?
The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association recommends avoiding deicing chemicals during a new slab’s first winter and using them in moderation after that. Clean sand works for traction. Also hose off the salty slush that cars drag onto the driveway and garage floor when you can, and never use deicers containing ammonium sulfate or ammonium nitrate.
Do you handle the permit for a driveway or sidewalk?
Yes. Permit applications are part of our service. Driveway approaches and public sidewalks can involve extra review, and we coordinate that as part of the job.
How soon can I drive on a new concrete driveway?
Foot traffic comes first and vehicles later, because concrete keeps gaining strength for weeks after it is poured. Weather affects curing time, so your crew will give you specific timing for your driveway when the pour is finished.
What is the difference between stamped and exposed aggregate concrete?
Stamped concrete is pressed with patterned mats while it is still workable to look like brick, slate or stone, and it is usually colored. Exposed aggregate has the top layer of cement paste removed to reveal the stones in the mix, creating a textured, slip-resistant surface. Both are popular for patios and walkways, and aggregate is a common choice for driveways and steps.
