What Our Customers Are Saying
Derek Jensen has spent 25 years pouring decorative concrete across the Twin Cities metro — and the homeowners who've worked with him tend to have a lot to say about it.
Homeowners Trust Jensen Decorative Concrete
Real feedback from homeowners across the Twin Cities metro area.
Derek and his crew did an incredible job on our backyard patio. The stamped pattern looks like real stone, and they finished ahead of schedule. We've had neighbors stop by just to ask who did the work. Couldn't be happier with the results.
Our old driveway was cracked and uneven after years of Minnesota winters. Jensen Decorative Concrete replaced it with a beautiful colored concrete driveway that completely transformed our curb appeal. Derek was on site every day and the crew was respectful of our property.
We needed a pool deck that looked great but wouldn't be slippery when wet. Derek recommended a textured stamp pattern that solved both problems. The finished product exceeded our expectations and has held up perfectly through two seasons now.
“The reviews didn't happen by accident. They're the result of the same process, repeated job after job, for over 25 years across the Twin Cities.”
More From Our Customers
The colored concrete patio Derek installed blends perfectly with our home's exterior. His eye for color matching is impressive. The whole process from estimate to completion was smooth and professional.
We had Jensen Decorative Concrete handle all the flatwork for our new construction home. Garage floor, sidewalks, and a back patio. Everything was poured level and finished clean. Derek runs a tight crew.
Our front walkway was sinking and cracked. Derek replaced it with a beautiful new sidewalk that added serious curb appeal. He even worked around our landscaping so nothing was disturbed. Very professional crew.
We went with a stamped concrete driveway to match the natural stone on our home. The result is stunning. Derek personally handled the stamp work and his attention to detail really shows in the finished product.
Derek and his team coated our garage floor and it looks brand new. They prepped the surface properly and the finish is holding up great even with two cars and Minnesota road salt. Highly recommend.
We interviewed three concrete contractors and Jensen was the only one where the owner came out personally for the estimate. Derek's knowledge and honesty sold us. The patio turned out even better than the samples he showed us.
Jensen Decorative Concrete did our entire backyard hardscape including the pool deck and an extended patio area. The stamped concrete matches perfectly across both areas. Derek's crew was careful, clean, and finished on time.
After getting quotes from several companies, we chose Jensen for our driveway replacement. Best decision we made. Derek was upfront about the timeline, the crew showed up when they said they would, and the driveway looks fantastic.
We wanted something different than plain gray concrete for our front walkway. Derek suggested an integral color that complements our brick home perfectly. It's been over a year and the color still looks great.
25 Years of Residential Decorative Concrete Work
Derek Jensen started Jensen Decorative Concrete in Cologne, MN back in 2014. Since then, he's built a reputation across the Lake Minnetonka area and the wider Twin Cities metro for showing up, doing the work right, and leaving the property the way he found it — minus the old concrete.
The crew is intentionally small: Derek plus four. That means Derek is personally on every job site, managing the pour, checking the grade, and handling the finish work. A bigger company might run multiple crews — but that also means the owner is nowhere near your project.
