Concrete work we do in Rock Springs
Most Rock Springs calls we get are for flatwork, the driveways, patios, garage floors and steps around a house, plus footings and foundations for owners building new.
A concrete patio off your back door, laid out with you for size and shape and pitched so rain and snowmelt run away from the house.
Stamped concrete is pressed with a pattern while it's still wet so a patio or walk looks like stone or brick, then sealed to hold its color.
Sidewalks and front walks poured with a broom finish, a light brushed texture that gives shoes grip on frosty mornings, and joints cut where cracks should go.
A new garage floor for when the old one has cracked, chipped or sunk at the door, poured to carry your truck through the winter.
Decorative concrete covers color, a pebbled surface and custom borders, for homeowners who want a patio, walk or entry that looks finished instead of plain gray.
Poured concrete retaining walls hold back a sloped yard or a cut beside a driveway, with drainage behind so water doesn't push the wall over.
Interior concrete floors for basements, shops and outbuildings, poured over a packed base and finished smooth or textured for how you'll use the room.
A concrete deck around a pool or hot tub, finished for grip under wet feet and sloped so splash water runs off instead of sitting.
New concrete steps at the front or back door, formed with every step the same height so nobody trips, for houses where the old steps pulled away or crumbled.
A slab foundation is the floor and footing poured as one piece for a garage, addition or outbuilding, set on a dug-out, packed base.
Poured foundation walls for new homes, additions and garages, formed square and level so the framing that sits on them goes up true.
Concrete parking areas for shops, churches and rental properties, laid out for drainage and traffic, with a base built to take daily loads.
Footings are the wide concrete pads that carry a wall, deck post or addition, poured deep and wide enough for what's going on top.
Foundation raising lifts a settled slab or foundation back toward level, for houses with sticking doors, sloping floors or a gap opening at the walls.
Concrete cutting with saws for a new doorway, a utility trench or a cracked section that needs to come out without breaking up the whole slab.
Why Rock Springs homeowners call us for concrete
Rock Springs is where I learned to finish concrete on a friend's crew, and it's where I started our business in 2017. Most calls here are a driveway that's sunk at the garage, a patio that never got built, or steps pulling away from the door.
We also work in Green River and the cities around it, and the same things decide the job in all of them. Price comes down to the size of the slab, how much old concrete comes out, how deep the base goes and the finish you pick, while the schedule turns on the weather and on a permit when the job needs one. Your own number comes in the written estimate after I walk the job with you. Here, long freezes and steady wind mean the ground under the slab, not the finish on top, decides how long it lasts.

How we run a job in Rock Springs
Planned before the truck
The forms, base and drainage are set and checked before we order concrete, because once the truck is pouring there's no time to fix a low spot.
Weather sets the pour date
I'd rather move a pour date than rush one into wind, cold or midday heat, because concrete that dries too fast ends up with a weak, dusty top.
Permits handled for you
When a job needs a permit, we handle the paperwork with the city and start work once it's issued, so you aren't the one chasing it.
Owner on site
Our crew does the work with me on site, so the person who wrote your estimate is the one checking the base, the forms and the finish.
- Base dug out and packed, not raked
- Every slab sloped away from the house
- Forms and grade checked before ordering concrete
- Joints cut before the slab cracks itself
- Hot-weather pours started early in the day
- Fresh concrete protected while it cures
- Licensed and fully insured on every job
- Satisfaction guaranteed on every job
- Site cleaned up before we leave
- Each step explained before we do it
The slab that holds up through Rock Springs winters is the one with a packed base and a calm pour day, not the fanciest finish.

Questions from Rock Springs homeowners
Do I need a city permit for concrete work in Rock Springs?
Many concrete jobs do, because the city's Building Official issues permits to build, add to, alter, repair or remove any structure, or to dig out a lot, and getting the permit is the contractor's job once you hire one. Work can start only after the permit is issued and posted, and starting without one can bring an investigation fee equal to the permit fee, at least $250. When your job needs one, we handle the paperwork and start once it's issued.
Does a concrete contractor have to register with the city of Rock Springs?
Yes, the city requires every contractor, subcontractor and builder to register with its Building Inspections Office before starting any work. Registration includes a current certificate of insurance with at least $100,000 for injury or death to one person, $250,000 for more than one person and $100,000 for property damage. We're licensed and fully insured, and it's fair to ask any contractor you're considering about their registration.
How deep do footings have to be in Rock Springs, WY?
Footings and foundations have to go below the frost line, which the city's residential code sets at 42 inches below finished grade, the final ground level around the house. On new residential construction, a state licensed engineer also has to inspect the soil in the open hole, unless the Building Official asks for a full soils report. We plan footing depth around both before any digging starts.
How do I build a foundation on old mine ground in Rock Springs?
If the city identifies your property as being in a subsidence-prone area, where the ground may sink over old mine workings, the foundation has to be built to University of Wyoming specifications, an older guide from a 1988 printing. That changes the design, so we sort it out with the city before anything gets formed. The soil inspection on new homes still applies too.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Rock Springs?
Your price comes from the written estimate I give after walking the job, because size, tearing out the old slab, base depth, thickness, steel and finish all move it. When a budget is tight, I'd keep the base and simplify the finish. The base is hidden on day one and it's the first thing people want to cut, but a plain slab on a packed base outlasts a fancy one on raked dirt.
How long does new concrete need to cure before I can drive on it?
Longer than you'll wait to walk on it, and I'll give you both dates for your pour once we know the weather. Curing, the time concrete takes to harden and gain strength, slows in the cold and goes too fast in heat and wind, so we time Rock Springs pours to the forecast and protect the fresh slab. Keep cars off until we say it's ready, because early weight cracks it.
Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one did?
It can still crack, but we build it so cracks land where we choose instead of across the middle. We dig out and pack the base so the slab doesn't settle with the dirt, add rebar, steel bars that hold the concrete together, where the job calls for it, and cut control joints, shallow grooves that give it a planned place to crack, soon after the pour. Most cracked slabs we tear out here skipped one of those steps.
