What is different about concrete work in Clio
- Heavier loads. A slab that will carry a tractor, a loaded trailer or a camper needs to be five or six inches thick with rebar, not the four inches that suits a car. Say what will be parked on it when you ask for a price.
- Long rural driveways. Most country driveways stay gravel for the long run, with concrete for the apron at the garage or barn, where it does the most good.
- Ditches and culverts. On township roads the driveway crosses the roadside ditch on a culvert. Its size and condition are part of the approach permit.
- Flat clay ground. The land up here is level and drains slowly. Slabs need enough slope to shed water and a gravel base to keep them off wet soil.
Who handles permits
Streets in the City of Clio belong to the city. Public roads in Vienna Township and neighboring Thetford Township are maintained by the Genesee County Road Commission. M-57, which runs through as Vienna Road, is a state highway, and a driveway approach on it needs a permit from the Michigan Department of Transportation.
Who to call: the City of Clio for city streets, the Genesee County Road Commission for township roads, and MDOT for M-57. Barn and garage slabs need a building permit from the city or township. See driveway permits in Genesee County.
