Our Services

We handle concrete projects of all types—residential, commercial, industrial. Each service is built to last through Minnesota winters.

Driveways & Aprons

New driveways and aprons are engineered for durability. We set proper thickness, reinforcement, and slope to shed water and handle Hopkins winters. Existing driveways can be replaced or repaired. Residential driveways in Hobby Acres, West Hopkins, and downtown areas must meet city width and setback standards.

Driveway permits are required by Hopkins code. We handle the application.

Stamped & Decorative Concrete

Stamped concrete mimics stone, brick, or tile while offering the durability of concrete. Colors and patterns are custom-applied during finishing. Perfect for patios, outdoor spaces, and commercial walkways near Downtown Park or Blake Road Corridor.

Decorative options extend to colored concrete, boardwalk patterns, and exposed aggregate finishes.

Patios & Outdoor Living

Outdoor patios, walkways, and gathering spaces come to life with concrete. Proper grading and base prep prevent water pooling in spring thaw. We design with fire pits, seating areas, and furniture placement in mind.

Hopkins' parks and public trails inspire residential outdoor design. We bring that same quality to your backyard.

Sidewalks & Steps

Residential and commercial sidewalks must be safe, accessible, and up to code. Uneven or cracked concrete creates tripping hazards and liability. We repair or replace damaged sections and install new walks to ADA standards.

Steps and landings are finished smooth for safety in ice and snow.

Garage Floors & Industrial Slabs

Garage floors take abuse from vehicles, salt, oil, and water. We pour thick, reinforced slabs with proper slope. Epoxy or polyurethane coating protects against staining and cracking.

Commercial and industrial projects near Highway 7 require extra strength and fast turnaround. We deliver both.

Concrete Repair & Leveling

Cracked or sunken concrete doesn't have to be replaced entirely. We fill cracks, level settled slabs, and restore safety. Minnesota freeze-thaw cycles cause damage—we fix it before water enters and worsens problems.

Cost-effective repair extends the life of your concrete years longer.

Concrete Sealing

Sealing protects concrete from water, salt, and UV damage. Applied every 2–3 years, sealing cuts repair costs and keeps surfaces looking new. Especially important for driveways and patios facing Minnehaha Creek areas where moisture runs high in spring.

Maintenance extends concrete life 25+ years.

Why Local Expertise Matters

Hopkins sits in Minnesota's most challenging concrete climate. Twenty years in this area taught us what works and what fails.

Freeze-Thaw Protection

Minnesota winters and spring thaw damage concrete fast. Water enters cracks, freezes, expands, and shatters. We use air-entrainment techniques, proper slope, and sealing to prevent this damage from the start.

Permit & Regulation Compliance

Hopkins Code Chapter 810 governs driveways. Minnehaha Creek Watershed permits may apply. We know these requirements and handle paperwork before work starts so inspections pass the first time.

Local Material & Labor Knowledge

We work with trusted local suppliers and crews who understand this climate. Timing, curing conditions, and material selection are non-negotiable in Hopkins' cold and moisture-heavy seasons.

Projects built here stay strong for 25+ years when properly sealed and maintained.
