With any paving project, the devil is in the dirt. For concrete, that’s triple-underline true. Even the best mix won’t matter if the ground beneath it isn’t properly prepared. That’s why Sommerset Paving approaches every job with a geologist’s understanding and a craftsman’s precision. Our concrete paving services in Ann Arbor MI and nearby cities are engineered for Michigan’s unpredictable climate, combining strength, drainage, and beauty that lasts.
Because concrete has a higher density and lower flexibility than asphalt, it demands more care during preparation. In areas like Washtenaw County, where clay soils shift and expand, our crews replace 6–8 inches of unstable material with compacted crushed aggregate before pouring. This crucial step stabilizes the surface and helps prevent cracking through years of freeze–thaw cycles.
If your contractor doesn’t talk about the dirt, they don’t understand the job. At Sommerset, we know the ground beneath your pavement as well as the work that goes on top of it.
Every path tells a story, and we make sure yours starts on solid ground. Our concrete walkways and sidewalks are built with precision grading and balanced drainage to prevent shifting or pooling. Using professional finishing techniques, we broom, float, and edge each slab for smooth texture and clean lines.
When it comes to curbing, we go deeper, literally. Sommerset’s concrete curbs extend twelve inches below grade to anchor firmly into the soil and direct water exactly where it should go. That’s the difference between a short-term fix and a long-term solution.
In commercial settings, concrete carries more than vehicles; it carries your reputation. Our commercial concrete paving in Ypsilanti and nearby communities is built to withstand heavy loads and high traffic without cracking under pressure. From industrial slabs to business parking areas, we ensure every inch is poured to spec and finished with precision.
We handle grading, forming, and curing in-house so your project stays on schedule and on budget. Our work shows up in the details: a smooth finish, proper slope, and a structure that holds strong long after the first winter freeze.
A well-built parking lot is one of the most practical investments you can make for your property. Our team delivers concrete parking lot installations in Plymouth MI and surrounding areas that balance durability, drainage, and design. Using air-entrained concrete mixes and precise reinforcement, we help prevent cracking and surface wear from Michigan’s freeze–thaw conditions.
Clean striping, sharp curbing, and professional finishing create a lot that’s safe, functional, and visually polished. When you want concrete that stands the test of traffic and time, Sommerset Paving delivers.
Michigan weather doesn’t take it easy on pavement, and we don’t take shortcuts that fail it. Every concrete project we pour is engineered to perform in local conditions. That means moisture-resistant bases, expansion joints designed for thermal movement, and air-entrained mixes that keep your concrete flexible enough to survive the freeze–thaw cycle without losing strength.
Our approach has been refined over years of real-world results, and it’s what keeps driveways, sidewalks, and parking lots across Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, and Plymouth looking new long after others have failed.
