CONCRETE DRIVEWAYS IN OAKLAND COUNTY, LIVINGSTON COUNTY AND WAYNE COUNTY, MICHIGAN
Your driveway is the first thing people see when they pull up to your home. When it is cracked, heaving, or worn down, it affects your curb appeal and the value of your property. All American Cement installs and replaces concrete driveways for homeowners throughout Oakland County and Wayne County. Owner DuWayne Fulcher has been doing this work for over 30 years, and he personally shows up to every job from start to finish.
A Driveway Built to Last Through Michigan Winters
Michigan's freeze-thaw cycles are hard on concrete. Poor installation, the wrong mix, or shortcuts on the base will show up fast once the weather turns. All American Cement uses a 4,000 PSI 6-bag concrete mix on every residential driveway. That means a denser, stronger slab that holds up against frost heave, heavy vehicles, and years of Michigan weather without the premature cracking and spalling you see with lower-quality pours.
Every driveway starts with proper ground preparation. We excavate to the right depth, compact the sub-base, and set forms correctly before a single yard of concrete is ordered. The details in the prep work are what separates a driveway that lasts 30 years from one that fails in five.

Concrete vs. Asphalt: Which Is Right for You?
Asphalt has a lower upfront cost, but concrete typically lasts 25 to 50 years with minimal maintenance compared to 15 to 20 years for asphalt. Concrete does not require sealing every few years, handles heat better without softening, and holds up to heavy vehicle traffic without rutting. For most Oakland County and Wayne County homeowners who want a long-term, low-maintenance surface, concrete is the better investment over time.
Concrete Driveway Removal and Replacement
If your current driveway is cracked, sunken, or beyond patching, a full removal and replacement is usually the right call. Patching damaged concrete is often a short-term fix that does not address the root cause. All American Cement handles the complete process: removal, hauling, base prep, and the new pour. You do not need to hire multiple contractors.

Frequently Asked Questions About Concrete Driveways
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Oakland County?
Pricing depends on the size of your driveway, whether existing concrete needs to be removed, and any grading or drainage considerations. All American Cement provides free written estimates so you have an exact number before any work starts. Call or text (248) 224-6051 to schedule yours.
How long does it take to pour a concrete driveway?
The pour itself typically takes one day. Full project timelines including demolition and prep can run two to three days depending on the size and condition of the site. We keep you informed of the full schedule upfront.
When can I drive on my new driveway?
We recommend waiting at least seven days before driving a standard passenger vehicle on the new surface. For trucks or heavier vehicles, waiting the full 28-day cure period gives the concrete optimal strength. We will give you specific guidance based on your mix and the weather at the time of the pour.
Do you pull permits for driveway work?
Permit requirements vary by municipality. All American Cement is familiar with the permit process across Oakland County and Wayne County and will advise you on what is needed for your specific location and project.
