About Concrete
Introduction
A solid foundation, the hallmark of endurance, and a testament to longevity – all these qualities make concrete an essential element in commercial properties. Whether it’s constructing a gargantuan commercial building which stands tall amidst harsh weather conditions, or laying down a sidewalk used by hundreds of pedestrians daily, the role of concrete is undeniable. In this guide, we’ll delve into nuances of concrete, including its processing and benefits, and shed light on the value of professional concrete services. We’ll discuss concrete grinding services, concrete finishing services, concrete foundation services, and compare paving versus concrete driveways. Prepare to uncover the secrets within the gray, hard substance that seems ubiquitous in our built environments.
The Process of Concrete Installation
Firstly, it is critical to understand the process and workmanship involved in the installation of concrete structures. The journey of concrete begins at the construction material’s factory. A typical concrete mix involves cement, sand, aggregate, and water. The ratio of these constituents usually varies to modulate properties for different use cases. The prepared mix is then transported to the site where it’s poured into predetermined molds. The subsequent process of hardening takes time and demands accuracy in maintaining optimal temperature and moisture conditions. Therefore, hiring reliable concrete foundation services for the successful implementation of this crucial phase is often recommended.
Benefits of Using Concrete
Concrete is a preferred material owing to its numerous advantages. It provides sturdiness and durability, resulting in structures that can withstand harsh weather conditions and heavy use over substantial periods. It’s also fire-resistant, providing additional safety to your commercial properties. Furthermore, it allows for a flexible design scope, enabling architects and designers to create varied and distinct structures. Lastly, it’s cost-effective, especially when you consider its lifespan compared to other construction materials.
Grinding and Finishing Concrete
Enhancing the quality and the aesthetic appeal of concrete work entails a meticulous process known as grinding and finishing. Concrete grinding services involve a mechanical process where the surface of the concrete is refined and smoothed using professional-grade machinery. Not only does this give an appealing polished look to your concrete surfaces, but it also increases the overall lifespan of the structure by reducing chances of damage due to irregularities.
On the other hand, concrete finishing services help achieve the desired texture and look of the surface. They take charge post concrete-pouring phase to ensure that the surfaces are finished immaculately, adhering strictly to the design requirements. Whether you wish your commercial building to have ornamental concrete arches or a herringbone patterned entryway, a professional concrete finisher can bring your vision to life.
Paving Versus Concrete Driveways
In the realm of driveways for commercial properties, a common dilemma property owners face is choosing between paving and concrete. Paved driveways offer variety in aesthetics and are repair-friendly. However, in terms of strength and durability, concrete driveways have an upper hand. They provide a robust, long-lasting surface that doesn’t succumb easily to weathering or heavy traffic, making it a cost-effective solution in the long run.
Conclusion
The unremitting presence of concrete in our commercial structures is a testament to its importance. From sturdy foundations to refined finishes and durable driveways, concrete services offer comprehensive solutions for commercial properties. Concrete not only stands as the backbone of our structures but also enhances their longevity and curb appeal, cementing its place as an indispensable part of construction. With professional concrete services at your disposal, you can ensure that your investment stands the test of time while resonating with aesthetic appeal.
Now that you have a deeper understanding of the integral role that concrete plays and the benefits it brings, consider investing in high-quality concrete services. All that’s left is a call to action. Contact us today for an experienced team ready to handle all your concrete needs!

About Anchor Bay Shores, Michigan
History
Chesterfield Township was originally established as a general law township in 1842. It became a charter township in 1989.
The original European-American settlement in the area was a hamlet called Chesterfield, first settled in 1830. When the Grand Trunk Railway came through in 1865, it stimulated the development of businesses in the hamlet. It had a post office from 1875 until 1907, but has since lost its specific identity.
Geography
Chesterfield Township is in eastern Macomb County and is bordered on the north by Lenox Township and the village of New Haven; on the east by Ira Township in St. Clair County, and by the village of New Baltimore; on the southeast by Anchor Bay, which is a part of Lake St. Clair; on the south by Harrison Township; and on the west by Macomb Township.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the township has a total area of 30.6 square miles (79 km), of which 27.6 square miles (71 km2) are land and 3.0 square miles (7.8 km), or 9.85%, are water.
Much of Chesterfield Township is dominated by suburban subdivisions and shopping developments; its population is increasingly diverse, reflecting area demographic changes. In 2010 some 89% of the population identified as non-Hispanic whites; in the late 20th century, the largely rural township had an even higher percentage of whites. Anchor Bay influences the southeastern part of the community, where many pleasure boats, docks, and marine-related businesses can be found.
Communities
There are nine unincorporated communities in the township and no incorporated villages:
- Anchor Bay Gardens is located off Jefferson Avenue at Sunrise Street and Jans Drive (42°38′34″N 82°48′45″W / 42.64278°N 82.81250°W; Elevation: 571 ft./174 m.).
- Anchor Bay Harbor is located on Jefferson Avenue south of Anchor Bay Gardens, between Sugerbush and Cotton roads (42°39′19.1″N 82°47′56.7″W / 42.655306°N 82.799083°W; Elevation: 577 ft./176 m.).

The first post office in the township was established here in 1837 in the house of Robert O. Milton, with the name of “New Haven Post Office”. When this was moved to New Haven, Alfred D. Rice established another post office in Milton. That post office closed at some point, and another was opened in January 1856, with Edmund Matthews as postmaster. This office operated until July 1904. Milton was home to a school, three churches, a doctor, a blacksmith, and a couple of saloons. The last saloon survived until 2004, when it was torn down, at that time it was known as the “Teddy Bear Bar.” The school, known as Milton School, was incorporated into another building, which was torn down in 2002.
