Harwood sits on the Sheyenne River floodplain, where wet clay ground and seasonal settling make concrete work a different challenge than anywhere else in the Fargo area. Your walks, stoops, and driveways sink and shift because the clay beneath them never fully drains, and freeze-thaw cycles crack what the settlement doesn't.
That's why homeowners in Harwood (58042) call Fargo Concrete. We know the terrain here. We've lifted hundreds of settled sidewalks, reset sunken steps, and built driveways with the base preparation and reinforcement that actually holds up on this ground. If your concrete is cracking, heaving, or sinking, we can fix it right.
Concrete in Harwood (58042)
Harwood's location along the Sheyenne River means you're building on clay that was lake bottom for thousands of years. That clay holds water, swells in spring, shrinks in summer, and moves constantly. Standard concrete poured without proper preparation will crack within a season or two, and settlement is almost guaranteed. Your older homes have settled steps and walkways that are now trip hazards. Newer construction sometimes settles faster than expected because contractors underestimate how much base work this ground demands.
We've been serving Harwood and the surrounding Fargo area for years. We know that a concrete driveway here needs compacted granular base, air-entrained mix to survive the freeze-thaw cycles, and tight control joints to direct cracking. We know that your sidewalk and stoop are sinking because the clay is consolidating, and we know how to lift it back level using concrete leveling and slab jacking. We know the frost depth, the seasonal water table, and what happens to unsealed concrete under North Dakota winters and spring de-icing salt. That knowledge saves your concrete.

How a Job Works in Harwood
We start with a free on-site visit. You call us at (701) 515-9251 or describe the problem, and we come out to look at the concrete, the ground, the drainage, and the access. On Harwood's narrower lots and near the river, tight access and wet ground can affect how we work, so we assess that early. We'll give you a realistic estimate, explain what's causing the damage, and walk you through the options.
When we start the job, we bring the right equipment and crew for the conditions. If you need concrete leveling, we use polyurethane or mud jacking to lift the slab back level without tearing it out. If the concrete is too far gone, we remove it, build a proper base with compacted stone and drainage, and pour new concrete with reinforcement and air-entrainment for durability. Tight lot access in some Harwood neighborhoods means we may use smaller equipment or hand tools, and we coordinate around your neighbors and any local permit requirements.
When we're done, we haul away all debris, clean up the site, and walk you through the new concrete. We'll explain sealing schedules and maintenance so your investment lasts.
Concrete work in Harwood ranges widely depending on the scope, site conditions, and urgency. A concrete leveling job for a settled sidewalk or stoop typically runs from $4 per square foot and up, depending on how much lift is needed and how accessible the slab is. Sidewalk, walkway, and step repair or replacement start around $6 per square foot for straightforward work, but wet ground, tight access, or complex drainage can add cost. A full driveway replacement on properly prepared ground runs from $6 to $7 per square foot. Concrete sealing, which we strongly recommend for any new or exposed concrete in this climate, starts at $0.75 per square foot and protects against freeze-thaw damage and de-icing salt spalling. The biggest cost factors are the size of the area, how much prep and base work the ground needs, whether the slab is accessible by truck, and how quickly you need it done. Call us at (701) 515-9251 for a free estimate tailored to your Harwood property and the actual conditions we find.
