Horace sits on the flat, clay-heavy floor of the Red River Valley, where new subdivisions south of Fargo are built on poorly drained ground that demands solid concrete work from day one. We know these neighborhoods, the wide driveways and new patios that settle into Fargo clay, and the freeze-thaw cycles that crack unsealed concrete every winter.
Homeowners in Horace (58047) call Fargo Concrete because we understand the terrain here. Your driveway and patio don't fail because of bad luck. They fail because the base wasn't right, the mix wasn't air-entrained, or the sealing got skipped. We handle all three, and we've been doing it across south Fargo and Horace for years.
Concrete in Horace (58047)
Horace's new residential growth sits on clay that holds water, heaves in winter, and shrinks in summer. A concrete driveway or patio that looks perfect in July can crack and settle by March if it wasn't built on a compacted granular base. We see this constantly in the subdivisions south of Fargo. The flat, wide lots give us good access, but the ground itself is unforgiving. Freeze-thaw cycles run deep here, and heavy de-icing salt scales any concrete that isn't sealed and air-entrained. Spring thaw and summer thunderstorms test drainage design every year.
Our team has built driveways, patios, sidewalks, and slabs across Horace and the surrounding Fargo area long enough to know what works. We specify the right granular base, use air-entrained mixes, reinforce with wire or rebar, cut tight control joints, and seal everything that needs it. That's how concrete survives here.

How a Job Works in Horace
We start with a free on-site assessment. We look at the ground, the slope, drainage, access, and what's already there. If you have a sunken patio or a cracked driveway, we photograph it, measure it, and talk through your options and budget. We'll tell you upfront if a repair will hold or if replacement makes more sense. No surprises.
Once you approve the estimate, we schedule the work. In Horace's new subdivisions, we coordinate around HOA timelines and make sure the site is prepped. We bring in the right equipment, excavate to grade, compact the granular base, set forms, pour to spec, finish the surface, cut joints, and let it cure properly. If it's a driveway or patio, we seal it after curing. Access in these neighborhoods is usually straightforward, but we plan for tight lot lines and parked cars.
When we're done, we haul debris, clean the site, and walk through the finished work with you. You get a clean property and concrete that will last if you seal it every couple of years.
Concrete driveways in Horace run from $6 per square foot for a standard 3-car pad, which puts a typical 900-square-foot driveway in the $5,400 to $6,500 range depending on site prep and base conditions. Patios start at $6 per square foot. Stamped or decorative concrete runs $10 per square foot and up. Repairs and resurfacing cost $3 to $4 per square foot if the base is sound. Concrete sealing, which we strongly recommend for Horace's climate, runs $0.75 per square foot and should be done every two to three years. The biggest cost factors are square footage, how much excavation and base work the site needs, and whether we're replacing or repairing. Call us at (701) 515-9251 for a free estimate. We'll measure, assess the ground, and give you a realistic price with no hidden fees.
