Paver patios, retaining walls, walkways, grading, drainage, and Bobcat work for homeowners across White Bear Lake, Hugo, Lino Lakes and the Twin Cities north metro. Built right, built to last through Minnesota winters.
Norcon specializes in hardscape construction for residential properties across the Twin Cities north metro. We own and operate our own equipment — no subcontracting the Bobcat work to someone else. Every project starts with proper base preparation, drainage planning, and a written scope of work.
Custom paver patios designed and installed for Minnesota's climate. Proper excavation, compacted base, and edge restraints — not shortcuts. Built to handle freeze-thaw cycles without shifting.
Paver and natural stone walkways installed with proper base preparation. Functional, attractive, and built to last without heaving or settling.
Block and natural stone retaining walls that manage grade changes and hold up to Minnesota soil conditions. Properly battered, properly drained, built to stay put.
French drains, swales, catch basins, and finish grading that moves water away from your foundation. Drainage done right protects everything else you've invested in your property.
We own and operate our own Bobcat equipment. Site grading, excavation, material removal, and earth moving handled in-house — not subcontracted out.
Proper finish grading ensures your yard drains away from your home and gives you a clean, level surface for sod, seed, or additional hardscape features.
Design and build outdoor living areas that extend your home's livable footprint — patios, fire pit areas, and outdoor kitchens built to the same standard as our interior work.
After grading and hardscape work is complete, we restore disturbed areas with sod or topsoil so your property looks finished, not like a construction site.
Hardscape in Minnesota fails for one reason more than any other — improper base preparation. Freeze-thaw cycles are brutal on anything that isn't built correctly from the ground up. After 30 years doing hardscape work across White Bear Lake, Hugo, Lino Lakes and the north metro, we know exactly what it takes to build hardscape that doesn't move, crack, or settle after the first winter.
Minnesota frost depth requires adequate base material below any hardscape installation. We never cut corners on excavation depth or base compaction.
Water is the enemy of hardscape. We plan drainage before we lay the first paver — because fixing a drainage problem after the fact means tearing everything out and starting over.
We own and operate our own Bobcat. We don't subcontract equipment work to third parties who don't know your project or have any stake in the outcome.
Every hardscape project starts with a written scope and clear pricing. If anything changes during the project, we talk to you first — always.
