Long Lake, Minnesota

Long Lake pole barns and shops

If you are building in Long Lake, Hennepin County, you are roughly 15 miles northeast of Waconia, close enough that a builder can walk the site with you before the drawings begin.

Frozen ground in January stops excavation, so people who want a building by summer usually begin planning and drawings in winter and break ground when the soil thaws. Carver and Hennepin counties sit in Minnesota's 42 inch frost zone, so a post or footing here has to reach below that depth or winter heave will lift and tilt the building.

Describe the building you want in Long Lake, add the address or nearest crossroad, and a builder will call back to talk through the plan.

Around Long Lake

Long Lake sits in Hennepin County, with Orono, Wayzata and Village of Minnetonka Beach close by.

Heavy clay is common on the farm ground west of the lakes, and clay holds water in low spots, so a good pad is crowned and the site drains before the first post is set.

Close to Long Lake, we also quote buildings in Orono, Wayzata, Village of Minnetonka Beach and Woodland.
