Brighton's lake-country homes sit on rolling, sandy terrain with long driveways, generous patios, and pool decks that define the neighborhood character. When freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rain, and decades of use crack, settle, or heave that concrete, homeowners in 48116 call Ann Arbor Concrete to fix it right.
We've been serving Brighton and the surrounding Ann Arbor area for years, and we know the specific challenges your property faces. Sandy, well-draining soil means different repair strategies than the clay-heavy west side. Mature trees, long lot depths, and the proximity to Kensington Metropark mean we plan access carefully and work with your landscape in mind. Whether your driveway is sinking near the road or your pool deck is spalling from salt and weather, we show up with the expertise to diagnose it and the equipment to fix it without tearing up your whole yard.
Concrete in Brighton (48116)
Brighton's terrain is glacial outwash and moraine, sandy and well-draining in most lots, which is a blessing and a challenge. Your driveway doesn't pond water the way clay-heavy properties do, but that sandy base can shift and settle over time, especially under heavy use or when frost heaves the subgrade. Long driveways are the norm here, and so are pool decks, patios, and walkways that see serious seasonal stress. Winter freeze-thaw cycles, road salt spray, and the occasional severe thunderstorm all take their toll on concrete surfaces. We see a lot of settled slabs, spalling edges, and cracked decorative patios in Brighton, and we know exactly how to address each one without over-building or wasting money on unnecessary removal.
Our team has repaired and installed concrete on properties from Kensington to the town center, on sandy lots and on the few clay-heavy parcels that exist here. We understand local permitting for driveways and curb cuts, we coordinate with HOAs when needed, and we work within the setbacks and width limits that Brighton enforces. We show up on time, leave your property clean, and stand behind our work year-round.

How a Job Works in Brighton
We start with a free on-site assessment. You call us at (734) 249-8552 or reach out online, and we schedule a time to visit your property. We walk the concrete, check the grade, look at drainage and access, and ask questions about what's been happening (is it sinking, cracking, spalling, or all three?). We take photos, measure the area, and explain what we'd recommend and why. No pressure, no sales pitch, just honest talk about what will actually solve your problem.
Once you're ready, we handle permits if they're needed (driveway and curb cut permits in Brighton are straightforward, and we manage the paperwork). We show up with the right equipment for your job, whether that's a concrete saw and jackhammer for removal, a laser level for slab lifting, or a power trowel for a new pour. Long driveways and tight side-yard access are common in Brighton, so we plan staging carefully to minimize impact on your neighbors and your yard. We work methodically, following local codes and our own standards, and we clean up thoroughly when we're done, hauling away debris and leaving your property ready to use.
Final walkthrough: we show you the work, answer any questions, and make sure you're satisfied. We leave you with care instructions (if it's a new pour, we tell you when it's safe to drive on; if it's sealed, we explain the maintenance routine). That's it, and we're available if you have questions down the road.
Pricing in Brighton depends on the size of the job, the condition of what's there, access, and how quickly you need it done. A typical driveway repair runs from $3 to $7 per square foot depending on whether we're just sealing, resurfacing, or doing partial removal and replacement. A new decorative patio for a lake-country home might start at $10 per square foot and up, depending on the finish. Pool deck work runs $8 per square foot and up. Concrete leveling and slab lifting, which we do a lot of for sunken driveways and settled walkways, starts at $4 per square foot. The best way to know what your job will cost is to call us at (734) 249-8552 for a free estimate. We'll measure, assess, and give you a clear price with no surprises. We're transparent about labor, materials, and any permitting costs, and we're happy to discuss payment options for larger projects.
