Replacing St. Paul's aging driveways and aprons

Ramsey County driveways are the oldest in the metro on average: narrow ribbons beside old houses, alley approaches, and concrete that has been patched since the middle of last century. City permitting and tight quarters complicate what should be simple jobs.

A contractor who works the city knows the permit desk and the logistics of pouring in close quarters. The result is a clean, properly drained surface that fits the old neighborhood and outlasts another generation of winters.

Common questions

How much does a new driveway cost in Ramsey County?

Concrete driveways in the area typically run $4,200 to $8,500, with asphalt often lower, based on size, base prep, and drainage.

Concrete or asphalt for a Ramsey County driveway?

Both work in this climate. Concrete lasts longer and handles heat, asphalt costs less up front and flexes with frost, but both need a solid base to resist heaving.

When is the best time to pour or pave in Ramsey County?

Driveway work in Ramsey County runs from late spring through fall, when the ground is thawed and temperatures let concrete cure or asphalt compact. Frozen or saturated ground leads to cracking and settling.

How long before I can drive on a new Ramsey County driveway?

New concrete in Ramsey County usually takes about a week before vehicle traffic and a month to fully cure, while fresh asphalt can take cars within a couple of days. Your contractor gives exact timing for the weather that week.
