Concrete Contractor in Princeton, MN

Erickson Asphalt & Concrete is a Princeton, Minnesota concrete contractor headquartered on 320th Avenue, building driveways, garage aprons, sidewalks, patios, curbs, gutters, and catch basins for homeowners, businesses, and property managers. We have been in business since 1996 and hold a 5.00 rating across 552 Google reviews and a BBB A+ rating.

Princeton isn’t a service area we drive out to. It’s where our headquarters sits, and the ground under this town is ground we work on every season. That matters more here than in most Minnesota cities, because a concrete project in Princeton depends on three local conditions a metro-based crew can easily miss.

Two counties, two sets of rules. Princeton sits on the line between Mille Lacs County and Sherburne County. The two counties fall in different frost-depth zones under the Minnesota building code, and many properties with a Princeton mailing address sit in surrounding townships with their own permit requirements. We confirm your jurisdiction before we quote, so permits and inspections are right the first time.

Two very different soils. South of town, fine sands from the Anoka Sand Plain drain quickly but shift under a poorly compacted base. To the north toward Milaca, heavier glacial till holds water and pushes slabs upward when it freezes. We read the soil on your lot and build the base to match it, rather than applying one spec to every job.

Water with nowhere to go. Princeton’s flat lots, low wet pockets, roadside ditches, and properties near the Rum River all shape where water ends up. Every driveway, apron, and patio we pour is graded so meltwater and rain move away from your home or building, not under it.

We complete more than 100 jobs in a typical season, and our standard residential driveway includes 4 inches of concrete reinforced with #3 rebar. Because we are also a full-service Princeton paving company, one team can handle properties that need asphalt and concrete work together, such as a new concrete apron with an asphalt driveway, or rebuilt curbing alongside a repaved commercial lot.

Princeton sits where the Anoka Sand Plain meets heavier glacial till, and soil conditions change noticeably across town. Properties along the Rum River and in the south end of town tend to have sandy, fast-draining soil that can shift or wash out without proper compaction. Head north and east into the Mille Lacs County countryside and you’ll find more loam and clay that holds moisture and is prone to frost heave. Both conditions call for base preparation tailored to the specific site.

Mille Lacs County, Sherburne County, and the City of Princeton require [permits] for driveway replacements and new concrete pours that affect drainage, setbacks, or the public right-of-way. You can start the process through the city’s [building permit office]. We handle the coordination so you aren’t chasing down inspectors or wondering whether your project meets code. For guidance on [ADA compliance] requirements for commercial properties, we can walk you through what’s required.

Parking Lot EV Charging Requirements

Minnesota has adopted requirements for EV-ready parking spaces in new commercial construction and major renovations. If you’re resurfacing or expanding a parking lot in Princeton, the project may trigger the need for conduit runs and designated charging spaces. We can coordinate the concrete work with your electrician to get the infrastructure in place during construction rather than cutting into new pavement later. See Minnesota’s accessibility standards for additional commercial site requirements.
