Working in Woodbury

Dumpster and compactor pads behind the retail centers, dock aprons on the industrial side, curb and gutter around the hospital campus. A pad is poured for the front axle of a loaded refuse truck rather than for the container that sits on it, which is why a pad sized by the box fails at the approach. Commercial pours go down at 4,500 PSI with tied rebar, and the asphalt around the pour goes back in as part of the same work.

The joint between concrete and asphalt

Concrete and asphalt move differently. Concrete is rigid and moves at its joints; asphalt is flexible and moves everywhere. Where they meet, that difference has to be absorbed, and if it's not, the joint opens. Once it's open, water goes straight into the base under both of them. This is why so many lots fail first at the dock apron, the dumpster pad and the garage apron. Not because those slabs were bad, but because two different the line where they met was nobody's. We pour the concrete and lay the asphalt against it, so that joint belongs to the job.

What Decides the Price in Woodbury

Flatwork prices per square foot and is easy to quote from measurements. Structural work like curb or a dock apron is quoted per project, because the forming is most of the labor and it doesn't scale with area.

Garage or dock apron

Per project

Measured on site

  • Thicker slab, tied rebar, asphalt tied back in

Dumpster pad

Per pad

Measured on site

  • Heavy slab, because a loaded truck on a hot day is the worst case
  • Sized to the truck, not to the dumpster

Curb and gutter

Per linear foot

Measured on site

  • Straight run at the low end, radius work at the high end

What moves it: thickness, reinforcement, how much has to come out first, access for a truck, and whether the asphalt around it needs tying back in. Removal and haulaway is a real line and gets quoted rather than buried.

How the Work Goes in Woodbury

Base, forms, steel, pour, finish, and the asphalt tied back in against it.

Take out what's there

Broken slab out and hauled away, down to whatever the new pour needs to sit on.

Prepare and compact the base

Graded and compacted. Concrete poured on soft ground cracks on a schedule set by the ground, not by the concrete.

Form and reinforce

Formed to grade so water runs where it should, and reinforced where the span and the loading call for it. Radius forms for curb work.

Pour and finish

Placed, screeded, floated and broom finished. Control joints cut where the slab is going to crack, so that it cracks there instead of somewhere visible.

Tie the asphalt back in

The step most concrete contractors leave to somebody else. Asphalt cut tight to the new edge, compacted, joint sealed.

Questions We Get in Woodbury

What Woodbury calls us about, answered straight.

More questions answered
How far west do you come for a lot?
Woodbury is about 78 miles from Eau Claire, an hour and twenty minutes straight down I-94, off Exit 250 or Exit 251. For commercial lots we come out. Send the address and what the lot needs and we'll set up a time to walk it. The estimate is free.
Do you do curb and gutter?
Yes, including radius work, formed and poured to spec. It is priced by the linear foot, and a curve costs more than a straight run because the forms have to be built to the radius.
Why do dumpster pads fail so often?
Because they're usually sized to the dumpster instead of to the truck. The worst loading a pad ever sees is the front axle of a loaded refuse truck on a hot day, and a slab poured for the container alone isn't built for that.
How long before we can use new concrete?
It depends on the mix, and that is worth asking about rather than assuming. On a standard pour: foot traffic in 24 to 48 hours, vehicles after about seven days, heavy trucks at 28 days for a full-strength cure. Where the schedule will not take seven days, we spec a 4,500 PSI exterior mix instead. One of those is a loading dock apron we poured with tied rebar in a working parking lot: customers were driving on it three days later. Whichever mix your job gets, the window goes in the scope up front so you can plan around it before the pour.
Do you subcontract the concrete out?
The concrete and the asphalt around it are priced and sequenced together, so the joint between them is somebody's responsibility rather than nobody's.

The Lots and Surfaces in Woodbury

Woodbury is the largest city in Washington County and the seventh largest in Minnesota, about 80,000 people and roughly 78 miles west of Eau Claire on I-94. It comes off the interstate at Exit 250, Radio Drive and Inwood Avenue, and Exit 251, Woodbury Drive. The city's own plan puts it near 88,000 people by 2040.

The retail is concentrated on Radio Drive. Tamarack Village sits right at I-94 and Radio with more than 60 stores, and Woodbury Lakes and CityPlace are next to each other in the north end of the city. M Health Fairview Woodwinds Hospital is on Woodwinds Drive, 86 beds on a 30-acre campus, and M Health Fairview tops the city's employer list ahead of the school district, Target and 3M. The city's own campus is on Valley Creek Road and Washington County's central service and license center is on Woodlane Drive.

The industrial side is newer and it's on the northeast corner. Amazon has a last-mile building under construction in the Northeast Business Park Area, 223,418 square feet of warehouse and sorting, and Woodbury Lakes Business Park is marketed as build-to-suit industrial on I-94 frontage. In 2025 the city issued permits for seven new commercial buildings totaling 563,047 square feet. The METRO Gold Line runs bus rapid transit through Woodbury with three stations, one of them a park-and-ride at Guider Drive and Woodlane Drive.
