We needed 140 linear feet of damaged B618 curb and gutter plus two ADA truncated-dome sidewalk ramps replaced at our retail lot in Lakeville. They handled the barricades, traffic cones, dowel drilling, and broom finish without disrupting our tenants. Easily the most reliable concrete contractor we've hired in Dakota County.
If you've ever tried getting contractors in Lakeville to call you back, you know how rare Lakeville Concrete Pros is. Called on a Tuesday, had a written line-item quote by Wednesday evening, and the crew finished our new widened concrete driveway apron and front walkway the following week. Even re-seeded the black dirt along the forms!
We wanted a 16x24 stamped concrete patio with a firepit pad behind our house in Lakeville. The guys showed up at 7:30 AM sharp, protected our lawn with plywood mats for the Georgia buggy, and did an incredible ashlar slate stamp with charcoal release and a non-slip sealer. Neighbor next door already asked for their number. Worth every penny and came in $1,400 under the other decorative concrete bid we got.
Our old driveway in Airlake had heaved almost 3 inches right against the garage door from the winter freeze-thaw cycles. We got four quotes around Lakeville and Lakeville Concrete Pros was the only crew that actually explained the 6-inch compacted Class 5 gravel base, #4 rebar grid, and MnDOT 4,500 PSI air-entrained mix. They tore out the old slab on Monday, passed the Lakeville city footing/apron inspection Tuesday morning, and poured a clean broom-finished driveway with deep saw-cut joints. Zero puddles when it rained last week!
Tree roots had lifted two panels of our front sidewalk and the bottom step was sinking toward the porch. Instead of upselling a full tear-out, their estimator recommended replacing just the two root-damaged squares and polyurethane foam-lifting the settled stoop. You can't even tell where the old concrete meets the new pour, and no more catching the snowblower blade every January.
Built a 24x28 detached garage in Lakeville and needed a code-compliant thickened-edge slab with anchor bolts set to exact spec. The inspector from Lakeville Building Inspections Department (20195 Holyoke Ave) actually complimented the rebar chairs, vapor barrier taping, and form work before the pump truck arrived. Power-troweled finish inside the garage is glass-smooth.

We provide turnkey residential and commercial concrete installation and repair across Lakeville (55044), including 4,500 PSI air-entrained concrete driveways and garage aprons, stamped and exposed aggregate patios, monolithic concrete front steps, sidewalks, garage floor slab replacements, 42-inch frost footings, commercial loading dock dolly pads, dumpster enclosures, curb & gutter, and polyurethane foam slab lifting.
We build specifically for Minnesota Climate Zone 6A: we excavate clay down to stable soil, compact 6 inches of MnDOT Class 5 gravel, tie #4 steel rebar on 18-to-24 inch centers on chairs, pour a low-water-cement-ratio (0.44 max) 4,500 PSI ready-mix with 6.5% entrained air and 100% granite/trap-rock aggregate, saw-cut control joints to 1/4 slab depth within 12 hours, and seal with penetrating silane/siloxane salt repellent.
Standard broom-finished 4.5-to-5 inch reinforced concrete driveways and patios in Lakeville typically range from $10 to $15 per square foot (including old slab tear-out, Class 5 base compaction, #4 rebar grid, and sealer), while custom colored and stamped concrete patios range from $16 to $24 per square foot. We provide free, itemized on-site quotes across Airlake, Kingsley Lake, Marion, Orchard Lake, Dodd Ridge, Crystal Lake, Cedaruble, Downtown Lakeville, Highview.
Garage aprons sink when builders backfill foundation trenches with uncompacted clay. We excavate soft backfill at the garage threshold, compact granular Class 5 in 4-inch lifts, and either pin into the foundation wall with greased smooth load-transfer dowels or pour an 8-inch thickened structural apron edge so the transition stays flush.
We install real #4 (1/2-inch) deformed steel rebar tied in a continuous grid on structural chairs for all driveways, patios, aprons, and garage slabs—often combined with micro-synthetic fibers for early plastic shrinkage control. Fiber mesh alone cannot prevent vertical frost-heave separation once a control joint cracks.
Standard glacial river gravel in Minnesota contains porous shale, chert, and ironstone pebbles that absorb water and pop out during winter freezes—leaving ugly craters and rust stains across your driveway. Our 100% crushed granite/trap-rock specification eliminates surface pop-outs.
Yes! If your concrete panels in Lakeville are structurally intact and have simply settled 1 to 4 inches at the garage apron or walkway, our high-density geotechnical polyurethane foam lifting (polyjacking) raises the slab back to level through tiny 5/8-inch ports and is ready to drive on in 30 minutes.
Absolutely. Our commercial concrete division serves Airlake Industrial Park (County Rd 70 & I-35 rail/air logistics & manufacturing hub), Kingsley/I-35 Commercial Corridor, Cedar Ave (MN-77) Medical & Retail Corridor, Historic Holyoke Ave District and I-35 (I-35W/I-35E split), MN-50 (Kenwood Trail), MN-77 (Cedar Ave), County Rd 70 (215th St W), County Rd 46 (160th St W), Dodd Blvd, Ipava Ave across Lakeville, pouring 8-to-9 inch reinforced 5,000 PSI semi-trailer dolly pads, loading dock aprons, front-load dumpster pads with steel bollards, B618 curb and gutter, and PROWAG/ADA-compliant handicap ramps.
You can walk on your new concrete within 24 to 48 hours and drive standard passenger cars and SUVs on it after 7 full days of curing. Heavy trucks, RVs, and dumpsters should wait 28 days. Most importantly, never apply chemical de-icing salt during the concrete's first Minnesota winter.
Yes. We coordinate Gopher State One Call (811) underground utility locates, pull all required Lakeville Building Inspections Department (20195 Holyoke Ave) driveway/apron, sidewalk, or footing permits, schedule city inspections, and restore disturbed lawn edges with black dirt and seed/sod.
