Concrete Contractors in Lincoln Park, MI

Lincoln Park packs a lot of homes into a small space, and that shapes every concrete job here. Wikipedia lists it as the second most densely populated municipality in Michigan, after Hamtramck, with 40,245 people on about 5.85 square miles in 2020. Homeowners searching for concrete contractors in Lincoln Park usually need work done on narrow lots where the driveway, the house and the neighbor's fence are all a few feet apart. We replace driveways, pour small patios and stamped concrete, set walks and steps, build detached garage floors and repair cracked or sunken sections.

A bedroom community for the Rouge Plant

Neighborhoods were first laid out in 1906, and Lincoln Park incorporated as a village in 1921 and as a city in 1925. Wikipedia describes it as a bedroom community for workers at Henry Ford's River Rouge Plant and other factories. The census shows the population growing 92 percent in the 1940s and 84 percent in the 1950s, peaking at 53,933 in 1960. So the housing ranges from 1920s bungalows to postwar homes, and the concrete around them comes from every decade in between.

Working in close quarters

On a typical Lincoln Park lot, there is no room to swing big equipment. A narrow side drive runs between houses to a garage at the alley or the back of the lot. We plan these jobs carefully: how the old concrete comes out, where forms go so they do not disturb the neighbor's yard, how the truck reaches the pour, and how the new slab pitches so water runs to the street or alley instead of into the basement or the house next door.

Garage floors on these lots often have the worst damage. Decades of water running under the door, plus cars dripping salt in winter, break up the slab near the entry. Replacing the floor with a slight fall toward the door, and an apron that sheds water outward, usually solves the problem.

Where the Ecorse River runs through

The north and south branches of the Ecorse River run through Lincoln Park and join just before leaving the city. Council Point Park sits on the river at the spot where, in 1763, Pontiac addressed a council of tribes before his attack on Fort Detroit. Homes near the river branches can have softer, wetter soil. On those jobs we dig a little deeper, add more compacted stone and pay close attention to drainage at the foundation.
