See Finance OptionsShoreview is a mature suburb. Many of the driveways and sidewalks here were poured decades ago, and a lot of them are showing it. Cracking, settling, and frost heave are not cosmetic issues. They signal a base problem that gets worse with every freeze-thaw cycle if you leave it alone.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Concrete Services in Shoreview
Concrete Driveways
When cracks spread and settling becomes visible, it is time for a new installation, not another patch. We handle complete tear-outs with proper excavation, grading, base preparation, and compaction. A properly installed concrete driveway lasts 25 to 40 years in this climate. Choose from broom finish, exposed aggregate, or stamped patterns.
Concrete Sidewalks
Sidewalks in Shoreview face constant foot traffic and significant freeze-thaw stress. We install residential sidewalks with proper base work and joint spacing to minimize cracking and heaving. For commercial properties and HOA common areas, we deliver ADA-compliant walkways with correct slopes and surface finishes.
Apron Repair
A sunken apron lets water collect at your garage entrance, which accelerates damage to your foundation and the slab itself. Ice builds up at the low point all winter. We remove the failed section, address the base problem, and pour a new apron that drains away from the structure correctly.
Concrete Patios
A well-built patio extends your outdoor living space and holds up through Minnesota’s climate. We design patios with proper drainage slope and reinforcement to prevent settling and cracking. Options include broom finish, exposed aggregate, and stamped concrete for any outdoor use.
Curbs & Gutters
Commercial properties and HOA common areas need proper curb and gutter systems to direct stormwater and define parking areas. Shoreview’s relatively flat terrain makes drainage planning critical. We install curb work that actually moves water where it needs to go instead of letting it pool against your building.
Catch Basin
Commercial properties along Highway 96, Lexington Avenue, and Rice Street rely on us for curbs and gutters, parking lot concrete, ADA ramp installation, and catch basin work. We handle commercial concrete at the scale and scheduling flexibility commercial sites require.
What You Should Know About Concrete in Shoreview
Soil Conditions
Shoreview’s soils are typical of Ramsey County, with glacial till deposits that include a mix of clay, sand, and loam. Properties near Snail Lake and Island Lake tend toward sandier soils with better drainage. Areas farther from the lakes lean toward heavier clay content. Clay holds water, expands when frozen, and contracts when dry. That seasonal movement is why proper base preparation is not optional here. We assess conditions on every project and build the base accordingly.
Permit Requirements
Shoreview requires a zoning permit for new driveways, driveway expansions, and significant modifications. You submit an application with site plans to the City of Shoreview for approval. Standard replacement on an existing footprint typically has simpler requirements. Routine sealcoating does not require a permit. We determine what is needed and handle the coordination as part of the project.
Areas We Serve
We work throughout Shoreview, including properties near Snail Lake and Island Lake, established neighborhoods around Shoreview Community Center, residential areas off Hodgson Road and Lexington Avenue, and commercial properties along Highway 96 and Rice Street.
