Concrete Contractors in Canton, MI

Canton Township is the largest community in our service area by population, and most of it was built within living memory. The township had 11,057 residents in 1970, 48,616 in 1980, 76,366 in 2000 and 98,659 in 2020, which makes it Michigan's second most populated township after Clinton. Homeowners looking for concrete contractors in Canton tend to want two things: a replacement for the original builder driveway, and a larger or decorative patio. We pour driveways and aprons, patios and stamped concrete, walks and steps, garage and shed slabs, and repair sections that have failed.

Decades of building

Canton was created on March 7, 1834, from the southern part of Plymouth Township, and it is named for the Chinese port city now called Guangzhou. It stayed largely rural until the 1970s. Then subdivisions spread across its 36 square miles, decade after decade. A driveway on a 1980 street is now more than 40 years old, while one from the late 2000s may have only minor wear. Part of our job on an estimate is reading that age correctly and recommending only the work your concrete needs.

Patios and stamped concrete

Canton backyards are often larger than those in the older Downriver cities, and many builder patios were small and plain. Stamped concrete is one of our most requested upgrades here: ashlar slate, cobblestone or wood-plank patterns, with integral color and a release color for depth, and a sealer to protect the finish. We design the shape and size on site, add a border if you want one, and set the pitch so water drains away from the house.

If your subdivision has an HOA, we work within its guidelines on materials, color or placement. Bring the guidelines to the estimate and we will design to them.

Creeks and drainage

Wikipedia notes that southern Canton drains to the Lower River Rouge and its tributaries, including Pine Creek, while the northeast drains to Tonquish and Garden creeks. Homes near those creeks often have lower yards and wetter soil, which is hard on patios and walks. We set grade to move water toward the yard drainage, and build a compacted aggregate base so water under the slab does not freeze in place.

Sidewalks across the township

Canton has also been planning to close about 54 miles of missing sidewalks, with priority on the 8.7 miles within a quarter mile of a school, according to a 2022 Patch report. Public walk projects are the township's. Walks, steps and driveways on your own lot are where we come in.
