Concrete is more than just another building material. It offers reliability, aesthetics, durability, and cost-effectiveness that you can’t get with other construction substances.

Whether you’re seeking concrete grinding services, comparing paving vs a concrete driveway, or considering concrete foundation and finishing services, this guide is designed to provide you with the information you need.
Understanding the Basics of Concrete
Concrete is a tested and proven umparalleled building material, offering durability, strength, and malleability. With incredible resistance to water, wind, and time, it stands as an ideal material for commercial properties. Moreover, concrete finishing services can polish every inch into a shining testament of modern aesthetics. Concrete’s ability to endure harsh elements ensures the building or structure will last for years, if not decades, withstanding all kinds of weather.

Concrete presents a wide array of finishes and patterns that can mimic the appealing appearance of paving while providing superior strength.

With a well-placed concrete foundation, your commercial property gains superior strength and stability, enhancing its overall lifespan.

About Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan
History
While initially settled over a century ago, much of the city in its current form was built in the middle of the 20th century, particularly around and just after World War II, distinguishing Grosse Pointe Woods from older portions of Grosse Pointe.
The city was originally incorporated as the Village of Lochmoor in 1927 from the last unincorporated portion of Grosse Pointe Township. The village annexed the Stanhope-Allard strip of land from what was then Gratiot Township in 1931. The village changed its name from Lochmoor to Grosse Pointe Woods in 1939, but didn’t incorporate as a city until 1950.
Geography
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 3.25 square miles (8.42 km), all land. It is the only one of the five Grosse Pointes with no Lake St. Clair shoreline, although the city owns a park in neighboring St. Clair Shores that is on the lake.
