Erickson Asphalt & Concrete has been serving Buffalo homeowners and businesses for over 35 years. As the county seat of Wright County, Buffalo has grown significantly over the past two decades, and we have been here through that growth, pouring concrete in neighborhoods old and new.
Buffalo offers a mix of small-town charm and suburban amenities, with established neighborhoods near downtown and newer developments spreading toward Lake Pulaski and the surrounding areas. Whether you have an older home that needs a driveway replacement or new construction that needs first-time concrete work, we handle projects at every stage.
The city’s location about 42 miles northwest of Minneapolis puts it in a growing corridor, and the demand for quality concrete work has grown with the population. We bring the same standards to Buffalo that we apply everywhere: proper base preparation, quality materials, and installation methods that hold up to Minnesota’s climate.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Concrete Services in Buffalo
Concrete Driveways
A properly installed concrete driveway provides durability that lasts for decades. We handle new installations and complete replacements with proper excavation, base preparation, reinforcement, and joint placement. The mix design we use is formulated for Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycles.
Concrete Sidewalks
Sidewalks connect your home to the driveway, street, and outdoor areas. 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
A sunken driveway apron creates safety hazards and allows water to undermine your garage foundation. This is common in newer developments where fill soil has not fully consolidated. We fix the underlying problem with a repair approach that lasts.
Concrete Patios
Buffalo’s lakeside setting makes outdoor living appealing, and a well-designed concrete patio helps you take advantage of it. We pour patios with proper drainage, adequate thickness, and joint placement that manages cracking. Finish options include broom texture, exposed aggregate, and decorative stamped patterns.
Curbs & Gutters
Concrete curbs and gutters control how water moves across your property and protect pavement edges from breaking down. We install and replace both for commercial and residential projects.
Catch Basin
A failing catch basin causes drainage problems that damage surrounding pavement and create standing water issues. After 60+ years, many of Brooklyn Center’s original drainage structures have deteriorated or collapsed. We handle full replacements and new installations for both residential and commercial properties.
What Buffalo Homeowners Should Know
Wright County Soil Conditions
Wright County sits in an area shaped by glacial activity, with soils that vary from sandy loam to clay depending on location. Buffalo’s position near Lake Pulaski and Buffalo Lake means some properties have soils influenced by those water features, while others on higher ground have different conditions.
These variations matter for concrete work. Sandy soils drain well but need proper compaction. Clay soils hold moisture and can cause heaving if drainage is not addressed. We assess soil conditions on every project because the base preparation requirements can vary even within a neighborhood.
The Neighborhoods We Serve
We work throughout Buffalo, including the established neighborhoods near downtown and Buffalo Lake, the areas around Lake Pulaski, and newer developments like Settlers Brook and the planned South Shores community. Whether your home is in a well-established area or a recently built neighborhood, 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.
Buffalo’s building department handles permits for construction work. Standard concrete flatwork on private property may not require permits, but projects that change drainage patterns, expand the driveway footprint, or involve work in easements may trigger requirements. The city’s online permitting system streamlines the process. When you work with Erickson, we identify permit requirements during the estimate process.
