Outdoor construction & hardscaping in Wixom, MI
Patios, decks, and drainage for Wixom's newer subdivisions and Loon Lake waterfront homes.
Wixom went from rural to residential in a generation, and today it is a mix of older south-side homes and newer brick-colonial subdivisions on the north side, like the Loon Lake Woods communities. The city has invested in its walkable downtown around Sibley Square and Pontiac Trail, and the backyards reflect a lot of recent, freshly graded construction.
Michigan Outdoor Creations builds paver patios, decks, fences, retaining walls, and drainage across Wixom, with the base and grading work that newer clay lots demand.

Newer subdivisions sit on freshly graded clay, and that is its own challenge: settling, poor surface drainage, and patios that heave if the base is rushed over still-settling ground. We build deep, compacted, drained bases so a new patio or deck on a new lot stays flat through the freeze-thaw years.
Loon Lake adds a waterfront layer — decks, patios, and drainage on lake lots that pitch toward the water. Across the city, footings go below the 42-inch frost line and drainage is designed in, because Oakland County clay does not forgive shortcuts on either a new subdivision lot or an older one.
