Erickson Asphalt & Concrete has been serving New Brighton homeowners and businesses for over 35 years. We know this community well, from the established neighborhoods around Long Lake to the commercial properties along Old Highway 8 and the areas near Silver Lake Road.
New Brighton sits on terrain shaped by glaciers, and that history shows up in the soil conditions that affect every concrete project. The landscape is poorly drained in many areas, with clay soils that hold water and move with freeze-thaw cycles. We have been pouring concrete on this ground long enough to know what works and what does not.
Whether you need a driveway replacement, a new patio to extend your outdoor living space, or sidewalks that stay level through Minnesota winters, we handle concrete projects of all sizes. And we put the Erickson name on every job.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Concrete Services in New Brighton
Concrete Driveways
New Brighton has a mix of homes from the 1950s through new construction, and we work on driveways at every stage. Whether you need a complete tear-out and replacement or first-time concrete for a new build, we handle proper excavation, base preparation, reinforcement, and installation.
Concrete Sidewalks
Sidewalks in New Brighton need to handle the local soil movement and freeze-thaw cycles. We install residential sidewalks with proper base work and joint spacing to minimize frost heave and cracking. For commercial properties, we ensure ADA compliance.
Apron Repair
Sunken driveway aprons are a common problem in New Brighton due to the local soil conditions. When the apron separates from your garage floor, water pools in the gap and accelerates the damage. We fix the underlying cause with a proper repair, not just the visible symptoms.
Concrete Patios
A well-built patio extends your living space and adds value to your property. We pour patios with proper drainage slope, adequate thickness for the expected use, and joint placement that manages cracking. Finish options range from standard broom texture to exposed aggregate and decorative stamped patterns.
Curbs & Gutters
For commercial properties and larger residential projects, we install concrete gutters and curbs that manage water flow and define parking and traffic areas. Proper curb installation protects pavement edges and directs drainage away from structures.
Catch Basin
A failing catch basin causes drainage problems that damage surrounding pavement and create standing water in parking lots and driveways. After 50+ years, many of New Brighton’s original drainage structures have deteriorated. We handle full replacements and new installations.
What New Brighton Homeowners Should Know
Glacial Terrain and Clay Soils
New Brighton’s landscape was shaped by glaciers thousands of years ago. The terrain is poorly drained in many areas, which created the lakes and wetlands throughout the city. For concrete work, this means dealing with clay soils that hold water, expand when frozen, and shift with seasonal changes.
Clay soils are common throughout New Brighton and require proper base preparation. When we assess a project, we look at the specific conditions on your property because soil can vary significantly even within a few blocks.
The Neighborhoods We Serve
We work throughout New Brighton, including the areas around Long Lake Regional Park, the neighborhoods near Mounds View schools, properties along Silver Lake Road and Old Highway 8, and the New Brighton Exchange district. Whether your property is in an established 1960s development or a recently built section, we have experience with the local conditions.
Timing and Permits
The concrete season in Minnesota runs from late spring through early fall, roughly May through October. Temperatures need to be consistently above 50 degrees during the curing period. We monitor weather forecasts closely and will reschedule if conditions are not right for a quality pour.
New Brighton does not typically require permits for standard concrete flatwork that maintains the existing footprint. However, the city does have regulations about driveway width, setbacks, and materials. One thing to be aware of: the city imposes seasonal weight restrictions on local streets during spring thaw, usually from mid-March through late April. This can affect scheduling for larger projects that require heavy equipment.
