How do I know if I need a new driveway or just a repair?

If your driveway has widespread cracking, sinking, drainage problems, or a failing base, replacement is often the better long-term value. We inspect the surface and the foundation underneath, then give honest advice on whether a repair or full driveway installation makes the most sense.

What driveway materials do you install?

We install popular driveway materials based on your goals, budget, and property layout. That may include concrete, asphalt, gravel, or paver driveways. We walk you through the pros, appearance, durability, and upkeep of each option so you can choose with confidence.

How long does a driveway installation take?

Most driveway installation projects take a few days to complete, but timing depends on size, site access, grading needs, material choice, and weather. We give you a clear project timeline up front and keep you updated so there are no surprises during the process.

How much does a new driveway cost?

Driveway cost depends on the material, square footage, excavation, grading, drainage work, and site conditions. We provide a clear estimate based on your property and goals. Our focus is on building a driveway that looks good, lasts well, and avoids costly problems later.

Will my new driveway have drainage built in?

Yes, proper drainage is a key part of a lasting driveway installation. We pay close attention to grading, slope, runoff, and base preparation so water moves away from the driveway and your home. That helps prevent puddling, erosion, cracking, and premature surface damage.

Driveway Installation Services | 616 Custom Construction

At 616 Custom Construction, we build driveways that look great, handle daily traffic, and hold up through Michigan weather. A new driveway does more than improve curb appeal. It gives you a smoother surface, better drainage, easier access, and a stronger first impression for your home.

We handle driveway installation from the ground up. That includes site review, layout planning, excavation, grading, base preparation, and final surface installation. A strong driveway starts below the surface, so we focus on the foundation first. We remove soft or unstable soil as needed, install and compact the base material, and shape the area for proper drainage. This helps reduce settling, puddling, cracking, and premature wear.

We install driveways for new homes, replacements, and property upgrades. Depending on the project, we can create a straight driveway, curved layout, widened parking area, or a design that improves vehicle flow and usable space. We also consider slope, garage access, drainage patterns, and how the driveway fits with walkways, landscaping, retaining walls, and the overall look of your property.

Our driveway installation service is built around long-term performance. We pay close attention to grade, edge support, compaction, and transitions where the driveway meets the street, garage, or other hardscape features. These details matter. They help create a cleaner finish and a surface that performs better under regular use, changing temperatures, and seasonal moisture.

When you work with us, you can expect clear communication, practical recommendations, and workmanship shaped by real field experience. We do not take a one-size-fits-all approach. Every property is different, and we install each driveway based on the site conditions, intended use, and the finish you want to achieve.

If you are planning a new driveway installation, we are ready to help you make the right investment. Contact 616 Custom Construction to discuss your project and get a driveway built for strength, function, and lasting curb appeal.

On-Site Consultation & Design

We start with an on-site visit to review access, drainage, grading, soil conditions, and how your new driveway should function day to day. Then we recommend the right layout, materials, and base depth, and provide a clear estimate and realistic timeline.

Excavation, Base Prep & Installation

Once approved, we schedule your project, remove unsuitable material, fine-tune the grade, and build a compacted stone base for long-term stability. Then we install the driveway surface with careful edge control and proper slope to support drainage and reduce settling.

Final Finish & Customer Walkthrough

After installation, we complete a full cleanup, check surface consistency, confirm water runoff, and make sure all finish details meet our standards. We walk the project with you, answer questions about curing and maintenance, and only wrap up when you are fully satisfied.
