As you know, living in North Oaks is a rare experience. It’s a private city, in that the roads are privately owned and maintained by the North Oaks Home Owners’ Association. North Oaks has no commercial development, no apartments, and no sidewalks along its roads, all by design. 

Because properties here tend to be spacious and high-value, homeowners in North Oaks want to make sure they can enjoy outdoor living, and they invest what’s necessary to do that. That’s one reason we see a lot of interest in large stamped concrete patios, pool decks, and decorative walkways connecting driveways to front entries and back yards in North Oaks. If you’re thinking about upgrading your outdoor space, take a look at our patterns & textures and color options.  Concrete is a more customizable medium than most people think.

The soils in this area of Ramsey County include clay-heavy glacial deposits, which expand and contract with moisture and frost. That seasonal movement can crack and heave concrete over time, especially slabs that weren’t poured on a proper base. We take base preparation extra seriously on every job.  That’s a part of the project most contractors rush through, and it influences how long your concrete lasts.

Many homes in North Oaks were built in the 1970s through 1990s, putting original driveways and hardscaping well past the point where freeze-thaw damage adds up. If you’re seeing cracks, settlement, or drainage issues around your driveway or front walk, it may be time for a fresh pour rather than another patch-up.

Creative Concrete has been pouring concrete in North Oaks and throughout the Twin Cities since 1998. Contact us today to tell us all about your project and get a free quote.

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.
