Many cities call themselves “the Capital” of something and Forest Lake has done this with gusto. In the 1940s, when President Truman’s Thanksgiving turkeys came from here, it was the Turkey Capital of The World. The 1960s saw it become the Bass Capital of Minnesota for a time. Since then, it’s more commonly been the 4th of July Capital of Minnesota.

As a body of water, Forest Lake itself is Washington County’s largest lake. Several other lakes dot the area around town, adding to the strong lakeside character and outdoor lifestyle here.

The 1980s and ‘90s saw a flurry of housing construction, which means a lot of Forest Lake’s concrete is now over 30 years old and showing its age. Many driveways are cracking, patios have settled off kilter, and walkways are heaving up from decades of freeze-thaw cycles. The clay-heavy soil here doesn’t help, as it holds water and shifts with the seasons, which puts extra stress on concrete.

Much of the current growth in Forest Lake is concentrated in newer subdivisions like Hidden Creek and Chestnut Creek, where modern floor plans and large-scale residential development are the primary focus.

The city’s most sought-after real estate remains the established lakeside stretches along Forest Lake and Clear Lake. Areas like Ashbach Pointe are known for their high-value, custom-built estates that often date back several decades. These areas see a cycle of high-end renovations and custom rebuilds as homeowners work to modernize classic lakefront properties.

Creative Concrete has been doing concrete work in Forest Lake and throughout the Twin Cities since 1998.

Once we work out the details of the concrete project, it will be time to prepare the site for the concrete. Although we’ll do most of the work to level out the ground and create a solid foundation, you will also need to do your part to prepare the site.

The first thing you will do is make sure that all personal items and debris are cleared from the area. Take all chairs, tables, lawn supplies, children’s toys, pet items, and other objects, and remove them far away from the site. Second, make sure there is a clear path from the street to the construction site. A clear path allows us to do our job quickly and safely and gives us access to the site.

We may also need to discuss removing other items before starting the project.

There are several things that can go wrong when you attempt a DIY concrete project. Most DIY projects fail due to incorrect measurements, unlevel surfaces, or improper mixture. Regardless of what happens, you will save yourself time, money, and a huge headache by hiring a professional concrete company to do the work for you.
