What is different about concrete work in Flushing
- Lots that slope. Near the river valley, driveways and back yards often run downhill. A sloped driveway needs a coarse broom finish for winter grip and a plan for the water at the bottom. A patio on a slope may need a short retaining edge or a step down.
- Low ground near the river. If part of your lot is in the mapped floodplain, adding fill or paving there can need extra review. Ask the city or township before planning a slab near the river.
- Older homes in town. The streets near downtown have older houses with narrow driveways and mature trees. Roots under the sidewalk and the end of the driveway are common, and they need dealing with before a new pour.
- Subdivisions and country lots in the township. Outside the city you find newer subdivisions and larger rural parcels, with longer driveways and ditches at the road.
