Clean, Durable Surfaces That Elevate Your Outdoor Space

Driveways, walkways, and patios play a big role in how your property looks and functions. These surfaces are the most-used parts of any exterior—and when professionally designed and installed, they enhance everything from curb appeal to daily comfort.



At Stone Forge LLC, we pour high-quality concrete surfaces built to handle Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycles, heavy use, and long winters. Whether you're updating your driveway, replacing a cracked sidewalk, or building a new patio, we bring 20+ years of experience to deliver clean, long-lasting results.

Concrete Driveways That Perform

A properly installed driveway does more than give you a place to park—it adds structure, safety, and value to your home. We pour concrete driveways with the strength, slope, and reinforcement needed to support vehicles and resist cracking.

Our driveway services include:

  • New driveway installation
  • Full driveway replacements
  • Driveway extensions and parking pads
  • Garage apron pours
  • Border detailing or stamped accents (optional)

We carefully grade every pour for proper drainage, reinforced strength, and seamless transitions to streets, garages, or adjacent walkways.

Functional & Attractive Walkways

Walkways guide movement across your property and protect lawns and gardens from wear. We install concrete paths and step systems designed for durability, safety, and aesthetics.

Common walkway applications include:

  • Front entry paths
  • Garden walkways
  • Side yard access routes
  • Connecting patios to garages or driveways
  • Sloped walkways with integrated steps

Each walkway is poured on a stable base, pitched for water runoff, and finished with your choice of texture for slip resistance and visual appeal.

Custom Concrete Patios

A concrete patio provides a smooth, stable surface for outdoor dining, relaxation, and entertainment. We design and pour patios that match your layout, integrate with hardscaping features, and withstand all-season use.

Concrete patios can include:

  • Built-in seating or planter beds
  • Step-down transitions from doors or decks
  • Fire pit pads or kitchen bases
  • Expansion joints to prevent cracking
  • Optional finishes (broom, float, exposed aggregate, or stamped)

We’ll help you determine the best shape, size, and placement for your patio to ensure it adds both function and beauty to your yard.

Finish Options for All Surfaces

While standard concrete is highly functional, many homeowners choose to enhance their surfaces with custom finishes. Options include:

  • Broom Finish: Subtle texture for slip resistance and clean appearance
  • Exposed Aggregate: Decorative and slip-resistant with natural pebble texture
  • Float Finish: Smooth with a soft natural feel, often used in patios
  • Stamped Concrete: Replicates stone, brick, or tile (see our Stamped Concrete page)
  • Colored Concrete: Integral color or surface hardeners for custom tones

We help you choose finishes based on location, use, and design goals.

Our Concrete Installation Process

  1. Consultation & Planning - We assess your site, confirm measurements and slope, and design the surface layout according to your vision and property needs.
  2. Demolition & Excavation - If replacing old concrete, we remove and dispose of existing materials before digging to the correct depth.
  3. Base Prep & Reinforcement - We install a compacted gravel base, rebar or mesh reinforcement, and edge forms for stability and control.
  4. Concrete Pouring & Finishing - Our crew pours, levels, and finishes the surface using the appropriate technique for durability and design.
  5. Curing & Sealing - Surfaces are allowed to cure properly, and we can apply a sealant for added weather protection and color enhancement.

  • 20+ years of concrete installation experience
  • Clean, professional job sites and crews
