The work
Mounds View Driveway and Patio Work
Local technicians assess driveways, aprons, patios, walks and slab repairs in Mounds View. Describe whether the footprint changes and whether the property fronts a Ramsey County road.
Common problems
Mounds View Driveway Wear and Base
Salt can roughen an exposed surface, while water beneath a slab can leave an uneven edge after freezing. Concrete repair in Mounds View may involve patching a stable section; concrete leveling in Mounds View may be considered for settlement where the base remains usable. A fully failed section needs replacement and a drainage check.
The city's driveway handout distinguishes sealcoating or general patching from new, altered or added driveway work. A concrete driveway in Mounds View that changes width may trigger a zoning permit and the city's concrete apron detail. The 2026 fee schedule adds right-of-way review when streets, curbs or sidewalks are disturbed. A concrete patio in Mounds View can have its own zoning permit path, while a concrete sidewalk in Mounds View on public land raises an ownership question. Give your technician the old and new footprints so the repair quote does not hide an expansion.
How it goes
Mounds View Project Planning Steps
- Note the Mounds View address, existing driveway width, apron condition and whether you want patching, resurfacing, rebuilding or expansion.
- One of our local concrete partners will compare those options against the slab condition, base and drainage path.
- Your technician quotes the chosen scope and identifies the zoning or right-of-way application that fits it, including the road authority where relevant.
- After approvals and site preparation, your technician confirms a weather-appropriate work window and any required final inspection.
Local rules
Mounds View Permit and Apron Details
Maintenance versus new work
Mounds View's driveway handout separates no-permit sealcoating, resurfacing and patching from new, altered or added paving that needs a zoning application with a survey or plot plan. The 2026 fee schedule repeats that sealcoating or overlays without expansion are exempt, and adds that a right-of-way permit is required for construction that disturbs city streets, curbing or sidewalks. Usually one final inspection, requested 24 hours ahead, checks the apron and setbacks.
Pads, valves and county roads
A separate parking pad may be paved or gravel but is limited to 300 square feet, with the same 5-foot side setback, while the driveway itself must be asphalt, concrete or brick (Mounds View driveway handout). A water shutoff valve inside the driveway needs a cover approved by Public Works. Properties on Ramsey County roads, including Long Lake Road, Silver Lake Road, County Road H, County Road I east of Silver Lake Road, County Highway 10 and Old Highway 8, also need a county permit. A contractor without a Minnesota license needs a Mounds View contractor license. Concrete repair covers resurfacing.

FAQ
Mounds View Concrete Contractor FAQs
What affects a Mounds View concrete driveway price?
Removal, base, new area and apron work determine the quote. The city's driveway handout distinguishes repair from expansion, so your technician should price the actual footprint. The cost note explains planning factors. A widened driveway can add permit and right-of-way work that a simple patch does not.
Does Mounds View require a permit for driveway patching?
Its driveway handout says general patching, sealcoating and resurfacing of an existing footprint do not need the driveway zoning permit. New, altered or additional paving does. Confirm that the written scope does not expand the surface or disturb city right-of-way before relying on the maintenance distinction.
Does a Mounds View apron have a special depth?
Yes. The city's driveway handout calls for a concrete apron at the curb with a stated depth. Ask your technician to list that section separately from the private slab and show the curb detail on the plan. The city reviews the forms and final work under its permit process.
Does a Ramsey County road change my Mounds View permit?
It can. The city handout lists county roads whose driveways also need Ramsey County approval. Check the street owner before your technician assumes a city-only application. The county road edge and the private driveway should be separately described in the quote.
Should I replace or level a settled Mounds View patio?
Your technician can assess whether the slab is stable, how water drains and whether the base has failed. A small stable offset may support a narrower repair; widespread settlement may call for replacement. The repair-or-replace note helps compare scope, but any new footprint should be checked with the city before work.
