Concrete for a Small Lake Town
Belleville is the smallest city we serve, about 1.2 square miles with 4,008 residents and 1,972 housing units in 2020. It is surrounded entirely by Van Buren Township, and its downtown sits on the southern shore of Belleville Lake. Homeowners who call concrete contractors in Belleville usually own an older house near Main Street or a home with a view of the water. We pour walks and steps, driveways, patios and stamped concrete, garage slabs, and repair sections that have cracked or settled.
A long history for a small place
Belleville was platted in 1847 and named for landowner James Bell, with the French belle for beautiful. It became a village in 1905, when it separated from Van Buren Township, and a city on May 14, 1946. The Wabash Railroad depot began serving travelers around 1881, and sawmills lined the Huron River. In the 1930s, wealthy Detroiters kept getaway estates here. Main, Liberty and High streets are still in use from the original plat.
Older homes near downtown
Because so much of Belleville is old, many houses have walks and steps that were poured generations ago and patched since. Front steps lose their footing and tip. Walks crack and lift where trees have grown. Narrow drives break up at the street. On historic streets, appearance matters as much as strength. We keep walks square with the house, use a broom finish that fits older homes and match the existing joint spacing so new concrete looks like it belongs.
Living by the largest lake in Wayne County
Wikipedia says Belleville Lake is the largest inland lake in Wayne County, stretching 6 miles and covering 1,200 acres. It was created in 1925 and 1926, when Detroit Edison built the French Landing Dam east of town. Homes near the shore deal with damp soil and yards that slope toward the water. Patios and walks there need a strong compacted base and a pitch that carries water away from the house. We plan each lakeside job around those conditions.
Belleville in a few notes
The city hosted the National Strawberry Festival from 1977 through 2019, and the Belleville Three, Juan Atkins, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson, are credited with the first wave of Detroit techno in the 1980s. The former Van Buren Hall is now the Belleville Area Museum.

Belleville Questions
Can you match new walks to an older Belleville home?
Yes. We keep walks square with the house, match joint spacing and use a broom finish that suits older homes.
My yard slopes to the lake. Can I still have a level patio?
Yes. We build up a compacted base to level the patio and set a slight pitch so rain runs off toward the yard, not back to the house.
Do you replace front steps that have tipped?
Yes. We remove the old steps and pour new ones on a proper base with even risers.
Can you replace a walk lifted by a tree root?
Yes. We remove the lifted panels, address the root where it is safe, rebuild the base and pour new panels that line up with the rest of the walk.
