Meet the Family Behind Lowell Russell Concrete
Built on Hard Work. Driven by Integrity.
When Lowell Russell started his concrete business in 1976, he wasn’t focused on becoming the biggest contractor in Minnesota. He simply wanted to build a company known for quality workmanship, honest service, and treating every customer with respect.
Nearly five decades later, those same principles continue to guide everything we do.
Over the years, Lowell has personally completed thousands of concrete projects throughout the Twin Cities, earning the trust of homeowners one driveway, patio, sidewalk, and garage floor at a time. His reputation wasn’t built through flashy advertising—it was built through referrals from satisfied customers who appreciated a job done right.
From the very beginning, Lowell believed that quality starts long before the concrete is poured. Proper preparation, careful grading, attention to drainage, and never cutting corners are what create beautiful concrete that stands up to Minnesota’s harsh seasons for years to come.
As the business grew, Lowell passed his knowledge and values on to his son, Lee Russell. Working side by side for many years, Lee learned not only the technical aspects of concrete construction but also the importance of honesty, craftsmanship, and taking pride in every project. Today, the two continue working together, combining generations of experience with the same commitment that has defined the company since 1976.
Although the tools and techniques have evolved over the years, one thing has never changed: our promise to treat every customer’s home as if it were our own.
Whether we’re replacing a driveway, creating a custom stamped concrete patio, or building a new front entry, our goal is simple—to deliver beautiful, durable concrete work that your family can enjoy for decades.
We’re proud that many of our customers come back for additional projects and recommend us to their friends, family, and neighbors. For us, there’s no greater compliment.
Continuing the Tradition
Growing up around the family business, Lee Russell learned the trade from the ground up, working alongside his father from an early age. Over the years, he developed the same commitment to quality craftsmanship, attention to detail, and customer service that has been the foundation of Lowell Russell Concrete since 1976.
Today, Lee oversees daily operations, manages our experienced field crews, and works closely with Lowell to ensure every project is completed to the highest standards. From project planning and site preparation to the final finish, Lee is committed to delivering exceptional results and making sure every customer receives the quality workmanship our company is known for.
Committed to continuous learning, Lee has completed multiple industry certification courses to stay current with the latest concrete products, installation techniques, decorative finishes, and best practices. He believes that even after decades in the business, there’s always something new to learn that can benefit our customers.
Lee also enjoys taking on projects that challenge both creativity and craftsmanship. One recent example is the Arneson Acres Labyrinth in Edina, a unique decorative concrete installation that required precision, planning, and attention to detail. Projects like these reflect our passion for creating concrete work that is both functional and visually distinctive.
Whether it’s a residential driveway, a decorative stamped patio, or a one-of-a-kind custom installation, Lee approaches every project with the same goal: delivering work that will make both the customer and our team proud for years to come.
Experience Meets Innovation
Nearly five decades of experience have taught us that quality craftsmanship never goes out of style—but there’s always room to improve. That’s why Lowell Russell Concrete combines the time-tested techniques and values that Lowell built the company on with Lee’s commitment to continuing education, industry certifications, and modern concrete practices.
Together, we blend experience, innovation, and hands-on leadership to deliver concrete projects that are built to last while incorporating the latest products, techniques, and design possibilities. Whether we’re replacing a residential driveway or creating a custom decorative concrete feature, every project benefits from two generations working toward the same goal: exceptional craftsmanship and satisfied customers.
