Concrete Driveway Installation & Repair

Built Right. Poured to Last.

A concrete driveway is one of the first things people see when they pull up to your property—and one of the hardest-working surfaces you own. At Erickson Concrete, we install and repair driveways that look clean, drain properly, and stand up to everything Minnesota weather throws at them. As a trusted Minneapolis concrete contractor, we don’t cut corners or sell surface-level fixes—we build driveways the right way from the ground up.

Whether you need a brand-new driveway or you’re dealing with cracks, settling, or heaving, our team will walk you through the options and deliver a long-term solution.

Concrete Driveway Installation in Minneapolis

Installing a concrete driveway isn’t just about pouring concrete. It starts with proper excavation, grading, and a solid base. We build every driveway on compacted class 5 aggregate, use high-strength concrete with the right air content for freeze-thaw conditions, and pour to the right depth with reinforcement options depending on your needs.

Our driveway installs include:

• Standard and oversized driveways
• Driveway extensions and parking pads
• Turnarounds and side entrances
• Decorative borders or broom finishes
• Tear-out and replacement of old concrete or asphalt

We’ll work with your property layout and make sure water drains away from your home—not toward it. Every project is poured, finished, and jointed for long-term performance with minimal maintenance.

Concrete Driveway Repair & Replacement

Not every driveway needs to be replaced. If your concrete is in generally good shape but showing signs of cracking, spalling, or surface wear, we can walk the site and let you know what’s repairable and what’s not worth patching.

We offer:

• Sectional concrete replacement
• Full tear-out and replacement
• Apron repair or replacement
• Driveway-to-garage tie-ins

If your driveway has settled near the apron or has become a trip hazard, we’ll regrade and repour to restore smooth transitions and safe access.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a concrete driveway last in Minnesota?

A properly installed and maintained concrete driveway can last 30+ years—even in Minnesota’s freeze-thaw climate. The key is a solid base, quality mix, proper drainage, and timely sealing or crack repair if needed.

Can you replace just part of my driveway?

Yes. We can remove and replace just that area if only one section is damaged—like the apron or a panel near the garage. We’ll match the finish as closely as possible so it blends in.

What’s better: asphalt or concrete?

Both materials have their place. Concrete costs more upfront but typically lasts longer with less maintenance. Concrete is usually the better long-term investment if you’re looking for clean curb appeal, a firm surface, and less frequent upkeep.

Do you use rebar or reinforcement?

Yes. We evaluate the site and load requirements to determine the right reinforcement—usually rebar or fiber mesh. This helps prevent cracking and extends the life of the slab.
