Driveways, patios and slabs for Anthony homes
Most calls from Anthony are like the ones we get in Las Cruces. Homeowners are planning a driveway, a patio or a slab, or replacing one that's cracked, sunk or holding water. We're based in Las Cruces and come down for this work, the same as we do for Chaparral and across the state line in Canutillo, TX.
The first thing I look at on an Anthony lot is where the water goes. Storm water comes down off the mesas and mountains and runs downhill across the city through the arroyos, so we check which way your lot drains and slope the slab away from the house. A slab that tips toward your foundation sends that water exactly where you don't want it.
Price moves with the slab's size and thickness, the digging and base work the ground needs, and the finish, since stamping or color costs more than a broom finish, the light texture that keeps it from going slick. Timing turns on the weather, the wait while the concrete cures and whether the City of Anthony needs a permit first. I put your scope in writing at the estimate.
What we build in Anthony
Concrete driveway building
If your driveway has cracked or sunk, we tear it out and pour new on a dug-out, packed base.
Concrete patio construction
A patio slab sloped so rain runs off toward the yard, not back against your house.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete gives a patio or walk the look of stone or brick, poured and patterned in one go.
Concrete sidewalk building
When a walk has lifted into a trip hazard, we replace the bad sections and match the grade on either side.
Garage floor concrete
If your garage floor is cracked, pitted or dusting, we can break it out and pour a new slab.
Decorative concrete
Color, exposed stone and saw-cut patterns, for when plain gray doesn't suit the house or the yard.
Concrete retaining walls
When a slope keeps washing into the yard, a poured wall with a footing holds the soil where it belongs.
Concrete floor installation
Interior slabs for shops, additions and storage buildings, set level and finished smooth for whatever goes on top.
Concrete pool decks
Around a pool, the deck needs a finish that grips wet feet and slopes splash water away to a drain.
Concrete steps construction
If your steps are crumbling or uneven, we form and pour new ones with every step the same height.
Slab foundation building
Before a new house, casita or addition goes up, we form and pour the slab it sits on.
Foundation installation
When your plans call for a full foundation, we dig, form, set the steel and pour it to the drawings.
Concrete parking lot building
For a business or rental lot, we pour slabs thick enough for daily traffic and graded so water drains off.
Concrete footings
Footings spread the weight of a wall, carport or addition into the ground, so we pour them to plan.
Foundation raising
If a slab has settled and doors started sticking, we check whether lifting it beats tearing it out.
Concrete cutting
Clean saw cuts for a new doorway, a plumbing trench or one bad section of driveway, without breaking the rest.
What every Anthony customer can count on
I explain the job before we pour
I walk the site, answer your questions and write the scope down, so you know what you're paying for.
The person who measured it runs the job
Our crew does the work, and I run it from the forms to the last pass of the trowel.
We don't skimp on what you can't see
The base under the slab and the curing after the pour come first, because that's where most slabs fail.

Questions we hear from Anthony homeowners
Do I need a permit for a concrete driveway in Anthony, NM?
Count on checking, because Anthony's city code calls for building permits on all construction within the city, as the building code spells out, and its Building Inspections Department reviews them. The city's construction permit application covers new work, repairs and foundation-only jobs. When your job needs a permit, we work out which office covers the address, handle the application and keep you posted.
Does a concrete retaining wall need a permit in Anthony?
A wall past the state's limits does. State rule exempts a retaining wall holding back less than 36 inches of soil and standing six feet or less from its top to the bottom of its footing, unless it carries extra weight above it, like a driveway. Inside Anthony we also check the wall with the city before we dig.
Will a new concrete driveway in Anthony crack like my old one?
It can crack, but it shouldn't break up like the old one. Concrete shrinks as it dries, so we cut control joints, grooves that give cracks a straight line, and add rebar, steel that holds it together. Old slabs usually fail at the subgrade, the dirt underneath, so if money's tight I'd cut the finish before the base.
How long will I be without my driveway after a new pour?
You'll be walking on it well before you can drive on it. That wait is curing, the time concrete needs to gain strength, and we keep the surface from drying out too fast so the top doesn't turn weak and dusty. I'll tell you the wait for your job when I come out.
What license does a concrete contractor need in New Mexico?
They need a state contractor's license whose classification covers concrete. The state Construction Industries Division licenses companies by kind of work, a license covers only what's in its classification, and every licensed company has to carry workers' comp. We're licensed and insured, and I'll go over it when I walk your job.
