Concrete work we do in Green River

Most calls we get from Green River are for flatwork, the driveways, patios, walks and garage floors around a house, plus footings and foundations for property owners building something new.

  • An overhead view shows a large light-gray concrete driveway leading to a home, bordered by landscaped lawns and trees.

    Concrete driveway building

    A new driveway poured over a base we dig out and pack, for homeowners replacing a cracked or sinking one or adding parking beside the garage.

  • A stamped concrete patio surrounds a backyard swimming pool, with stone walls and pale coping.

    Concrete patio construction

    A backyard slab for grilling, seating or a hot tub, sloped away from the house so water runs off instead of pooling against your foundation.

  • A round stamped concrete patio with a mottled stone pattern sits beside a stacked stone retaining wall and ornamental grasses.

    Stamped concrete services

    Concrete pressed with a pattern and color while it's still soft so it looks like stone, brick or slate, for patios and walks you want to look finished.

  • A broad, smooth concrete sidewalk curves through a residential lawn toward a stone-and-stucco house beneath autumn trees.

    Concrete sidewalk building

    Walks from the driveway to the front door or around the side of the house, sloped to shed water and wide enough for a wheelbarrow or a stroller.

  • A large stamped concrete patio with a rectangular tile pattern extends along the back of a brick house.

    Garage floor concrete

    A new garage slab, or a cracked one torn out and replaced, with rebar, the steel that holds the slab together, placed for the weight of your vehicles.

  • Stamped concrete porch and steps with a mottled brown stone pattern lead to a red front door.

    Decorative concrete

    Colored, stained or patterned finishes for homeowners who want the slab to look like part of the house and not just a gray pad.

  • Gray concrete block retaining walls form raised lawn borders with broad built-in steps in a fenced, leafy yard.

    Concrete retaining walls

    Poured walls that hold back a slope beside a driveway or yard, built on a footing with drainage behind them so water doesn't push the wall over.

  • A decorative stamped concrete patio with irregular stone patterns sits beneath a covered brick porch.

    Concrete floor installation

    Interior slabs for basements, shops and additions, poured level and finished smooth so flooring can go down on top or the concrete can stay as the floor.

  • Speckled concrete pool deck curves around a bright blue swimming pool with metal handrails.

    Concrete pool decks

    The slab around a pool, finished with texture so wet feet don't slip and sloped so splash water drains away from the pool and the house.

  • Wide gray stone-look steps descend beside a swimming pool with a blue cleaning hose floating in the water.

    Concrete steps construction

    Front and back steps poured on footings, with even risers and a broom finish, a light brushed texture that gives shoes some grip.

  • An aerial view shows a curved stamped concrete patio beside a swimming pool, lawn, and landscaped garden.

    Slab foundation building

    A slab foundation for a garage, shop or addition, where the slab is both floor and foundation, poured over packed subgrade, the ground it sits on.

  • Fresh concrete foundation slab with exposed rebar and plumbing pipes on a sunny residential construction site.

    Foundation installation

    Footings and poured walls for new homes, additions and outbuildings, set out to the plans and ready for the framers once the concrete has had time to harden.

  • An irregularly shaped blue swimming pool is surrounded by a light gray concrete deck and a band of textured stone-pattern coping.

    Concrete parking lot building

    Thicker slabs and a heavier base for business and rental property lots, laid out so water drains off and trucks can turn without breaking the edges.

  • Concrete steps with brick risers lead to a red front door, with a matching brick facade and low side walls.

    Concrete footings

    The concrete pads and strips under decks, additions, garages and posts, dug to the depth the plans call for so the weight above stays put.

  • A screened backyard pool enclosure surrounds a blue swimming pool bordered by a light-colored concrete deck and patio furniture.

    Foundation raising

    Lifting a sunken slab or settled foundation back toward level, for homeowners with a sloping garage floor, a step pulling away or a patio tipping toward the house.

  • A rectangular swimming pool sits beneath a screened enclosure, with a pale concrete deck, lounge chairs, and a built-in glass-stone feature.

    Concrete cutting

    Clean saw cuts for doorways, utility trenches, removing a damaged section or adding joints to an existing slab, with water on the blade to keep dust down.

Why Green River homeowners call us from Rock Springs

We're a concrete contractor based in Rock Springs, WY, and we work in Green River the same way we do at home in Rock Springs. The calls we get here are mostly for flatwork around houses, like driveways that have settled or cracked, patios that tip back toward the wall, garage floors with a crack running across the middle and front steps pulling away from the door.

Most of that comes from what's under the slab, not the slab itself, so on a Green River job I look at the ground and where the water goes before we ever talk about finishes.

  • The owner on site during the work
  • Estimates in writing before anything starts
  • Base dug out and packed first

How we run a Green River job

  • We walk it together first

    I come out, walk the job with you and look at the old slab, the slope and where water runs before I write anything down.

  • What moves the price

    Size, how much old concrete comes out, how much base work the ground needs and the finish you pick move the price most, and your written estimate puts a number on it.

  • City paperwork handled

    When a Green River job needs a permit, we handle the paperwork with the city and start once it's issued, which is usually what sets the start date.

  • Pour day planned ahead

    I'd rather move a pour date than rush one into bad weather, so the forms, base and crew are ready before the truck shows up.

  • Old concrete hauled away, not buried
  • Forms set and checked before the truck
  • Pours timed to miss midday heat
  • Rebar placed where the slab needs it
  • Broom finish on outdoor walking surfaces
  • Curing wait explained before we leave
  • Fresh slabs roped off until ready
  • Site cleaned up at the end of each day
  • Every step explained in plain words

The base is the part you'll never see once we pour. If the budget's tight, I'd rather put a plain broom finish over a good base than a fancy finish over bad dirt.

What Green River jobs ask of a concrete crew

The ground under older slabs, where the water runs and the city's own rules about lot lines shape a job here as much as the pour does.

  • Base that settled

    Many old slabs we break out here sat on dirt that was raked level, not dug out and packed, so we dig to firm ground and pack a new base.

  • Water running at the house

    A slab that falls toward the house sends every rain at your foundation, so before forms go in we check where water runs and slope the new one away.

  • Cracks in the wrong places

    Concrete shrinks as it dries and hardens, so we cut control joints, shallow grooves that tell cracks where to go, early enough that the slab doesn't pick its own spots.

  • Knowing your lot lines

    The city puts finding property lines on the owner, so before we form near a lot line, we'll want your pins found or a licensed land surveyor called.

How do you know your Green River concrete needs work?

Most of these start small, and on the older driveways and patios we see around Green River, catching them early can mean lifting a slab instead of replacing it.

  4. Patio tipping back toward the house
  5. Steps pulling away from the door

Green River concrete questions

Do I need a permit for a concrete driveway or patio in Green River?

It can need one, so check before anything is poured. The city requires a building permit to build, enlarge, alter or repair a structure, and its guidance lists covered decks, patios, porches and steps or stairs among the work that needs zoning approval. The city says the best way to find out is to call Development Services at 307-872-6140, or see the city's building permit page. If your job needs one, we handle the paperwork and start once it's issued.

Does my concrete contractor need a Green River license?

Yes. The city requires every contractor working inside city limits to hold a City of Green River contractor's license, and a Rock Springs license doesn't take its place. Any business working in the city also needs a city business license, even one based outside it. The city's contractor licensing brochure asks for proof of liability insurance with at least $250,000.00 in injury or death coverage, so ask to see both before work starts.

How long does it take to get a building permit in Green River?

Some simple projects can be permitted over the counter, with the permit issued when you submit, while renovations, additions and new construction that need plan review can take up to 14 days for the first review, per the city's published guidance. Starting before the permit is issued adds an investigative fee, which is one reason we wait. For footings or a slab foundation, I plan the pour date around that review.

How do I schedule a building inspection in Green River?

Call Development Services at 307-872-6140 at least 24 hours ahead. The city's guidance says whoever is doing the permitted work schedules all the required inspections. That lead time matters on concrete, because a pour that needs an inspection first has to be planned around it, and that's the kind of prep we'd rather do early than rush the morning of.

How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Green River?

The price comes down to the size of the slab, how much old concrete has to come out, how much base work the ground needs, how thick it is and how much steel goes in, and the finish you pick. A plain broom finish costs less than stamped or colored work, and the base is the last place I'd trim. I'll walk it with you and put your price in writing.

What causes a new concrete slab to crack?

Concrete shrinks as it hardens, so a new slab can still show a hairline crack, but the big cracks and sinking usually trace back to the base, the water and the joints we covered above. Curing, the wait while the concrete hardens and gains strength, matters too, so we'll tell you when it's safe to walk on and when it's ready for your car.
