What Our Customers Are Saying
Concrete Services in Big Lake
Concrete Driveways
A properly installed concrete driveway can last 25 to 40 years in this climate. We grade for correct drainage, install the right base thickness for local soil conditions, and pour with proper reinforcement and control joints. Choose from broom finish, exposed aggregate, or stamped patterns.
Concrete Sidewalks
Concrete sidewalks improve curb appeal and provide safe access to your home. We use proper base preparation and control joints to prevent cracking. Customize with different finishes to match your landscape.
Apron Repair
A failing apron causes water to pool at your garage entrance, leading to foundation issues and ice hazards in winter. We remove the damaged section, address base problems, and install a new concrete apron that drains properly.
Concrete Patios
A concrete patio extends your living space and adds value to your property. We build patios designed for Minnesota’s climate, with proper drainage and reinforcement. Choose from standard, exposed aggregate, or stamped concrete finishes.
Curbs & Gutters
Commercial properties and HOA common areas need proper curb and gutter systems to direct stormwater and define parking areas. Big Lake’s relatively flat terrain makes drainage planning critical. We install curb work that actually moves water where it needs to go instead of letting it pool against your building.
Catch Basin
When stormwater doesn’t drain properly, it pools on your parking lot surface and works its way into cracks, leading to potholes, heaving, and premature pavement failure. Catch basins solve that problem by channeling water into the storm drain system before it causes damage. We install catch basins for new construction in Big Lake and replace deteriorating ones that are no longer doing their job. If water sits on your lot after a rain, it’s time to address the drainage.
What You Should Know About Concrete in Big Lake
Sandy and Loamy Soils
Big Lake sits on glacial deposits with predominantly sandy and loamy soils. These drain better than clay, which is generally favorable for concrete work. However, sandy soils can shift if not properly compacted during base preparation. We assess conditions on every project and build the appropriate base to prevent settling.
Permit Requirements
Big Lake requires that all driveways be surfaced with concrete, bituminous, or other approved material. A building permit is required for new driveway construction or significant modifications. The City of Big Lake Building Department handles permit applications. We coordinate the permit process as part of our project management.
Areas We Serve
We work throughout Big Lake, including the established neighborhoods near the lake, newer developments along the Highway 10 corridor, properties around Lake Mitchell, and commercial areas throughout the city. Our proximity to Big Lake means we can respond quickly and serve the area efficiently.
