What Our Customers Are Saying
Concrete Services in Hugo
Concrete Driveways
A well-built concrete driveway can last 30 to 40 years in Hugo’s climate when the base work is done correctly. We handle everything from new driveway installations for new construction to full tear-out replacements on driveways that have cracked, settled, or lost their drainage slope. Finish options include classic broom finish, exposed aggregate, and stamped patterns to match your home.
Concrete Sidewalks
Sidewalks take constant foot traffic and significant freeze-thaw stress in Washington County winters. We install residential and commercial sidewalks with proper base preparation and control joint spacing to prevent cracking and heaving. For commercial properties, we ensure ADA-compliant slopes and surfaces throughout.
Apron Repair
A well-constructed apron provides a smooth, durable transition between your driveway and garage or street. When an apron sinks or cracks, water pools at the entrance and seeps under the slab. We remove the failed section, address the base failure that caused it, and install a new apron built to last and drain correctly.
Concrete Patios
A concrete patio gives you a durable outdoor space for Minnesota’s short summers. We design patios with proper drainage and reinforcement to stay level through freeze-thaw cycles. Choose from broom finish, exposed aggregate, or stamped concrete for seating areas, fire pit surrounds, and outdoor dining spaces.
Curbs & Gutters
Businesses in Hugo rely on us for curbs and gutters, trash pads, ADA-compliant ramp installation, and catch basin work. We build commercial concrete to handle the heavy use and drainage demands of commercial sites throughout the city.
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 Hugo 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 Hugo
Soil Conditions
Hugo sits on glacial till deposits typical of Washington County, with a mix of loam, sand, and clay across different parts of the city. Properties near lakes and low-lying areas can have sandier, better-draining soils. Inland areas and sites on former agricultural land may have heavier clay content that holds moisture and moves more with freeze-thaw cycles. We assess conditions on every project before recommending base depth and slab specifications.
Permit Requirements
A driveway permit is generally required in Hugo when installing a new driveway or making significant modifications to an existing one. Applications go to the Hugo Building Department with a sketch showing the proposed driveway location and dimensions. If your driveway connects to a county road, a permit from Washington County may also be required. Routine sealcoating does not typically require a permit. We coordinate the permit process as part of our project management.
Areas We Serve
We work throughout Hugo, including established neighborhoods near Hugo Lake and Oneka Lake, newer residential developments along Highway 61 and County Road 8, and commercial properties throughout the city. Our proximity to the east metro means we can respond quickly and serve Hugo efficiently.
