Overview
Concrete is the part of a job you only get to pour once. It starts with the base under it and the forms around it, and it is finished before anything else goes on.

Frost depth
Minnesota’s building code sets the minimum footing depth for frost at 3½ feet in Le Sueur County (Zone II) and 5 feet in the northern zone.
Cold weather
Concrete placed in freezing weather needs protection while it cures, so late-fall and winter pours are planned around the forecast.
Questions
Good to know.
Plain answers about concrete. Anything else, call (612) 601-3995.
Minnesota’s building code sets the minimum footing depth for frost at 3½ feet in Le Sueur County and the other southern (Zone II) counties, and 5 feet in the northern zone (Minn. R. 1303.1600). Your project’s plans and permit set the final depth.
Yes. Concrete work covers footings, foundation walls and slabs, and flatwork such as driveways, aprons, patios and sidewalks.
Concrete can be placed in cold weather when it is protected while it cures. Whether a winter pour makes sense depends on the job and the forecast; we will talk it through with you.
