Driveway Expansions & Extensions in Macomb Township: What to Plan For
Widening within the allowed driveway width. Under township rules, ribbons and extensions count toward the total.
A third car, a teenager’s first vehicle or a work truck can outgrow a builder-grade driveway, and widening is the practical fix. Check any HOA rules on driveway width first.
Macomb Township grew from 50,478 residents in 2000 to 91,663 in 2020, including a 48% jump between 2000 and 2008. A large share of its homes were built in that boom, which means many original driveways, walks and patios have now been through two decades of Michigan winters.
