Moorhead Concrete – Residential
Concrete is perfect for driveways, patios, steps, fire pits, garage floors and more in Moorhead. You can choose traditional grey concrete or jazz things up with the addition of color, texture and curves. Either way, choosing concrete for your home adds a touch of class you can take pride in! It is very difficult to tell the difference between decorative concrete and a mason laying stone or brick. Although they look similar, a mason laying stone or brick costs significantly more than concrete.
When you choose concrete for your driveway, patio, etc., you are making a wise investment! Did you know that concrete driveways last as long as 30 years and requires minimal maintenance? Blacktop (asphalt), on the other hand, requires more maintenance and major repairs or replacement can be required within 10 years of installation!

History of Moorhead, Minnesota
Moorhead is the largest city in Northwest Minnesota. The city was platted in 1871 and was named in honor of William Garraway Moorhead, an officer in the Northern Pacific Railroad. Located in the Red River Valley, the area is rich in agricultural land created from silt deposits from a glacier that melted ten thousand years ago. Incorporation into cityhood occurred in 1881 and then later in the same decade the introduction of electricity, fire, and water and police services. Currently the city is still a transcontinental crossing as interstates I-94 and I-29 intersect west of the city limits.
