The city of Minnetonka’s name comes from the Dakota word for “big water,” a reference to Lake Minnetonka, whose eastern tip lies within city limits. Minnetonka is home to about 54,000 people and to Cargill, the largest privately held company in the United States.

Minnetonka expanded steadily from the 1950s through the 1990s, with slower growth before and after. The median home here was built around 1980, which puts a lot of concrete in the 40 to 50 year old range. (We can’t believe it’s been that long since the ‘80s, either!) That’s plenty of time for freeze-thaw cycles to split, crack, stain, and dislodge original concrete. Much of the area sits on glacial soils that often include clay, which can hold water and shift seasonally, adding stress to older concrete slabs.

In neighborhoods like Glen Lake and Minnetonka Mills, many homes are ramblers and split-levels. Homeowners in these areas are typically replacing flatwork that’s been patched and patched again. Most are looking for clean driveways, level walkways, and garage floors that hold up.

There’s some new construction here and there, but Minnetonka is mostly built out and rarely adds big new subdivisions.

Closer to the lake, properties tend to be larger and pricier. Homeowners in neighborhoods like Sherwood Forest, Woodland-Highland, and Sparrow often invest in stamped patios, pool decks, outdoor kitchens, and decorative walkways.

There’s a steady teardown-and-rebuild trend near Lake Minnetonka, where buyers purchase older homes for the land and start fresh with new construction. We work with homeowners and builders on these new builds, pouring driveways, patios, and pool decks for homes that are starting from scratch.

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.
