Concrete driveway in Metro Detroit: what to expect

A concrete driveway in Metro Detroit has to handle freeze-thaw cycles, road salt tracked in from winter streets, and clay soil that holds water. Most jobs are tear-out and replacement of a cracked or sunken driveway, often including the approach between the sidewalk and the street, or a wider or extended drive.

What makes a driveway last is the base and the mix: a compacted aggregate base, the right thickness for cars or heavier vehicles, air-entrained concrete that resists freeze-thaw damage, control joints spaced to guide cracking, and proper curing. Avoid salting new concrete its first winter. Considering asphalt instead? Compare with asphalt driveway installation.

What a proper job includes

  • Removal and disposal of the old driveway if replacing
  • Grading for drainage away from the house and garage
  • Compacted aggregate base sized for the soil and use
  • Forms set to the planned width, thickness and slope
  • Air-entrained concrete, with reinforcement where specified
  • Control joints cut or tooled at proper spacing
  • Broom finish, curing compound and protection during cure
  • Right-of-way permit for the approach, if included

What drives the price

  • Driveway size, thickness and any added width or turnaround
  • Tear-out, haul-away and base repair under the old drive
  • Approach and curb cut work in the public right-of-way
  • Reinforcement choice (wire mesh, rebar or fiber)
  • Decorative finish, color or stamped borders
  • Access for the concrete truck and pump needs
  • Drainage fixes, trench drains or downspout changes

Permits and licensing in Michigan

The driveway approach and curb cut sit in the public right-of-way, which needs a permit from the city or county road agency before work starts. In Detroit, driveway approaches, curb cuts and sidewalk replacement are permitted through the DPW City Engineering Division (new development goes through BSEED), and contractors must be bonded with the city. Work on the private part of the drive varies by community, so confirm with the local building department. Excavation requires notice to MISS DIG 811 at least three business days ahead.

Paid residential work above a threshold set by state law requires a LARA license. Look for a Maintenance & Alteration Contractor license that lists Concrete, or a Residential Builder license, and check the number on the LARA lookup.

How to compare quotes

  1. Get base depth, slab thickness, reinforcement and joint spacing in writing.
  2. Ask whether the mix is air-entrained and what curing method is used.
  3. Confirm who pulls the approach or right-of-way permit and calls MISS DIG 811.
  4. Check the license on the LARA lookup and ask for proof of insurance.
  5. Compare warranties on cracking, scaling and settlement, and what voids them.
  6. Ask when you can walk on it and when you can drive on it.

Common questions

Concrete Driveway FAQ

Foot traffic is usually fine after a day or two. Most contractors say to keep cars off for about a week and heavy vehicles off longer; follow your contractor's timeline for the mix used.
Surface scaling usually comes from freeze-thaw and deicing salt on concrete that lacked air entrainment, was over-finished, or was not cured well. Sealing helps newer concrete resist it.
The approach and curb cut in the right-of-way need a city or road agency permit. Rules for the private portion vary, so ask the local building department.
Concrete usually lasts longer with less upkeep, while asphalt handles salt differently and is easier to patch. Get quotes for both if you are undecided.
