Erickson Asphalt & Concrete has been serving Brooklyn Center for over 35 years. We have poured driveways in the established neighborhoods near Centennial Park, installed patios throughout the residential areas, and handled commercial concrete work along Brooklyn Boulevard and near Shingle Creek Crossing.
Brooklyn Center developed primarily in the 1950s through 1970s, which means most original concrete here is 50 to 70 years old. If your home was built during that era and still has the original driveway or sidewalks, they have almost certainly exceeded their expected lifespan. We see a lot of concrete in Brooklyn Center with extensive cracking, significant settlement, and surface deterioration that has progressed beyond what repairs can address.
Whether you need a complete driveway replacement, a new patio for outdoor living, or commercial flatwork that handles heavy traffic, we handle concrete projects of all sizes. And we put the Erickson name on every job.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Concrete Services in Brooklyn Center
Concrete Driveways
Most driveways in Brooklyn Center are 40 to 60 years old. If yours has widespread cracking, significant settling, or surface deterioration, repairs are no longer cost-effective. We handle complete driveway replacement with proper base preparation, reinforcement, and installation.
Concrete Sidewalks
Sidewalks in Brooklyn Center’s older neighborhoods often show their age through cracking, heaving, and uneven surfaces. We install replacement sidewalks with proper base work and joint spacing to minimize these problems going forward. For commercial properties, we ensure ADA compliance.
Apron Repair
A sinking driveway apron creates trip hazards and allows water to pool against your garage foundation. This problem is common in Brooklyn Center due to the age of the housing stock and local soil conditions. We fix the root cause with a proper repair approach.
Concrete Patios
A concrete patio extends your living space and creates a place for outdoor entertaining. We pour patios with proper drainage slope, adequate thickness, and joint placement that manages cracking. Finish options include broom texture, 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 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 Brooklyn Center Homeowners Should Know
Aging Concrete and Clay Soil
Brooklyn Center sits on glacial soils with significant clay content. Clay expands when wet, contracts when dry, and moves dramatically through freeze-thaw cycles. This constant movement is why concrete in this area cracks and settles over time, especially if the original base preparation was inadequate.
Many driveways and sidewalks installed in the 1950s and 1960s did not receive the base preparation we would specify today. That is one reason so much of the original concrete here has structural problems that go beyond surface wear. When we replace concrete, we address the base properly so the new installation has the foundation it needs.
The Neighborhoods We Serve
We work throughout Brooklyn Center, including the neighborhoods around Centennial Park, Evergreen Park, Palmer Lake, and the residential areas near Shingle Creek. We also serve commercial properties along Brooklyn Boulevard, near Shingle Creek Crossing, and in the industrial areas.
Permits and Regulations
Brooklyn Center requires permits for driveway replacement or expansion. Driveways must be paved with concrete, asphalt, brick, stone pavers, or equivalent hard-surface materials. Gravel driveways are not permitted in the city.
The city also has requirements about driveway width. Driveways can be expanded to the property line, but at least 50 percent of the front yard must be maintained as ground cover, and the driveway cannot exceed 30 feet wide. Expansion near property lines requires a survey and must meet setback requirements. When you work with Erickson, we handle permit applications so your project meets city requirements from the start.
