Concrete lifting in St. Peter
Driveway, walk and step leveling for the Nicollet County seat, about 10 miles up the river from Mankato.
St. Peter is the county seat of Nicollet County and had 12,066 residents in 2020, up from 11,196 in 2010. The town lies along the Minnesota River in the same broad valley carved by the glacial River Warren, and it's home to Gustavus Adolphus College.
A town with a mix of old and rebuilt
A tornado on March 29, 1998, destroyed 156 single-family houses and 51 apartment units in St. Peter and damaged hundreds more buildings. Much of the town was rebuilt in the years after. That means concrete here ranges from decades-old walks and steps to slabs poured in the rebuild, and each settles for its own reasons: age and tree roots on older lots, and compacting backfill around newer foundations.
Permits in St. Peter
