I needed to replace 1/2 of my garage floor, that had settled and to replace my 1,300 sqft asphalt driveway. The work crew showed up as scheduled, and demoed the area.

They were on schedule for every stage of the rest of the project. The work area was cleaned up very nicely and all the new concrete looks spectacular. I’m very pleased with the workmanship, quality and competitive pricing for my project.
The team at Cornerstone Concrete was professional and courteous. Project got a late start due to rain, but they started and finished on time. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing a new driveway or patio.
It was an exceptional experience from the estimate and planning to the completion of the project. All representatives of the company were polite, friendly and professional.

They set a schedule that was around other work that we were having done and completed the work on schedule. The final product looks great. I assume that it will perform up to our needs and their promises. I say that because we have not had the opportunity to use it yet as we were told not to drive on the concrete before tomorrow. I would highly recommend Cornerstone Concrete.
Excellent quality workmanship with personable, professional staff.

We have factorized the process of installing and replacing a concrete driveway. Systematically, one crew at a time flows through the concrete installation process, performs their duties at an expert level and then moves on to the next driveway. Below, in chronological order are our four crews:
Tear Out Process (Replacement)
● Use a bobcat and dump truck to tear out existing driveway
● Dispose of the material at local recycling station
Set Up Process
● Set up forms per specifications, grade, and compact subsoil
Pour Process
● Meet local ready mix cement trucks
● Mix in our additives: macro synthetic fibers and E5 internal cure
● Pour fresh concrete
Cut and Clean Process
● Lay out and cut expansion cuts
● Clean up
While our concrete driveway processes are proven, we know Minnesota winters are not always kind to concrete. With proper care and maintenance, your driveway will last for 25 – 30 years. However, if you do see cracking, we offer a warranty on your finished project.
I can’t say enough about what a great experience I had with this company. They responded to my phone calls / questions super fast. Everyone involved in the project was so friendly and courteous. Working with them has restored my faith in working with service people again!! Do what you say you will do! Thank you Cornerstone Concrete!

Frequently Asked Questions
How to prepare for a concrete driveway installation?
Please make sure the following is complete prior to the crews arriving:
- All vehicles removed from the garage
- Landscaping that is within 2ft of the driveway should be moved or may result in damage
- Standard concrete trucks are approx. 14ft in height. Any tree branches that line the driveway should be trimmed accordingly or will be at risk of damage
- A hose should be hooked up and accessible
- All vehicles parked on the street should maintain a 30ft distance from the driveway during installation
- If you will not be on the premises during installation, please make arrangements to have your garage open or provide the office with your garage code
- There is an inevitable splash/splatter of concrete when it is poured. Please remove items in the garage that could be subject to this “splash zone”
Will the sealant lock in dirt and stains?
If your concrete contains e5 no sealing is needed. E5 is a micro silica based curing agent put into the concrete when it is mixed. It cures the concrete better than any membrane or water cure method that is on the market today, to the point of making the pore structure of the concrete that sealer would normally fill so tight that sealer is no longer required.
How do you repair damaged/cracked concrete?
While minor cracks can be repaired with DIY kits involving cleaning, filling, and smoothing, professional services are recommended for extensive damage. Professionals provide expertise, high-quality materials, and long-lasting solutions that withstand severe weather conditions.
To prevent future cracks, regular maintenance and sealing, proper drainage solutions, and avoiding heavy loads are essential. These measures help ensure the longevity and appearance of concrete driveways.
How much does a new driveway cost?
We also offer financing options through Enhancify to help break up the payments. A concrete driveway is an investment, and we want to ensure homeowners have options to choose from.
