Concrete Slab Foundations for Residential and Commercial Builds

Concrete slab foundations are one of our most in-demand services. These slabs serve as the structural base for homes, garages, pole barns, and commercial buildings. Proper installation is critical, and our team takes every step seriously—from grading and formwork to reinforcement and curing.

We understand how Minnesota weather impacts concrete performance. That’s why we follow best practices to ensure strength, stability, and longevity, no matter the size or scope of the project.

Exterior Concrete for Sidewalks, Steps, and Patios

Exterior concrete plays a key role in accessibility, safety, and curb appeal. We install clean, functional sidewalks, sturdy steps, and spacious patios designed to enhance your outdoor spaces.

Our team focuses on precise leveling, smooth finishes, and durable construction so your exterior concrete not only looks good but also holds up against daily use and seasonal changes in Baxter, MN.

Decorative Stamped Concrete for Elevated Outdoor Spaces

For property owners looking to elevate their outdoor areas, decorative stamped concrete offers both strength and style. This higher-end service is ideal for patios, walkways, and entry areas where appearance matters just as much as performance.

Stamped concrete provides the look of stone, brick, or textured surfaces while maintaining the durability of concrete. Each project is completed with careful attention to detail to ensure consistent patterns, clean edges, and long-lasting results.

We had a great experience with nicks crew. They gave us a great recommendation for dirt work. When they came and poured the slab everything was cleaned up nice. The finish is great and they added a floor drain for us as well. Communication and project went smooth and fast.

Nick did a fairly large job for me, pouring a 40'x64' Pole Barn slab and 40'x40' apron. Communication throughout this whole job was excellent. Nick was very responsive and quick to return my phone calls. When a issue arose Nick went above and beyond to make it right. I would highly recommend this company for any cement work needs you require!


- Anthony G.

Nick responded to my inquiry before anyone else and showed up at the time he promised for a free estimate. He assessed my project, gave me a rough idea of cost and said her would more carefully put the bid together this evening.. He then suggested another way to do the project myself much more cheaply and requiring less work. I appreciated his honesty and willingness to suggest an alternative method to save me time and money.


- Terry H.

I called Nick to give me estimate on a project at my cabin.He showed up in time and was very professional.I explained him what I want to be done.Instead of giving me estimate he told me that what I am asking him to do will not resolve the issue and suggested me to put metal flashing around the foundation instead pouring cement.He also told me that he will recommend couple of contractors he knows who can do the job.This was very nice of him and I am confident that any job he takes will be done right.
