Concrete work for Las Cruces homes and properties
Most calls we get in Las Cruces start with something you can see: a driveway that's cracked or sinking, a patio where water pools, or a bare patch out back you'd like turned into a slab. Property owners call too, for bigger flatwork, the wide flat pours like parking lots and long walks, plus footings and foundations.
Price mostly follows the size, how much old concrete comes out, the digging and base work, and the finish, since stamped or colored work takes more labor than a broom finish, a brushed texture for grip. The schedule turns on any permit, the weather on pour day, and curing, the wait while concrete gets strong enough to walk or drive on. I'll give you your own numbers on site.
We're based right here in Las Cruces and work in the cities around it, on both sides of the state line, including Chaparral, Anthony and Canutillo over in Texas. Same crew and same base work, wherever the address is. If your city isn't on our list, ask us.
What we pour in Las Cruces
Concrete driveway building
When your driveway has cracked through or sunk, we tear it out and pour new on a packed base.
Concrete patio construction
A new patio out back, sloped so rain runs toward the yard and not toward your house.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete gives a patio, walk or pool deck the pattern of stone or brick, pressed in before it sets.
Concrete sidewalk building
If a walk has lifted or chipped into a trip hazard, we replace the bad sections.
Garage floor concrete
For a garage floor that's cracked or uneven, we pour a new slab with rebar, steel that holds cracks tight.
Decorative concrete
Color, exposed stone and custom borders, for when plain gray doesn't suit the house.
Concrete retaining walls
Where a slope keeps washing into your yard or driveway, a poured wall holds the soil back.
Concrete floor installation
Interior concrete floors for shops, additions and other rooms where you want a hard, simple surface.
Concrete pool decks
Around a pool, we pour a deck with a finish that gives bare feet grip when it's wet.
Concrete steps construction
Front or back steps that have cracked or pulled away from the house, formed and poured new.
Slab foundation building
A slab foundation for a new house, addition or garage, poured on ground we've dug out and packed.
Foundation installation
Stem walls and full foundations for builders and owners putting up a new structure or addition.
Concrete parking lot building
For a business or rental, a parking lot graded so water runs off instead of sitting in low spots.
Concrete footings
Footings under a wall, a porch post or an addition, sized for what they'll carry.
Foundation raising
If part of your slab or foundation has sunk, we look at raising it before anyone talks replacement.
Concrete cutting
When you need a doorway, a trench for a pipe or a bad section removed, we saw it out clean.

The base and the cure get our time
We dig out and pack the ground under the slab, and keep fresh concrete from drying out too fast.
Licensed and insured, with permits handled for you
When a job needs a permit, we find which office covers your address and handle the application.

Questions Las Cruces homeowners ask
Do I need a city building permit for concrete work in Las Cruces?
Most building projects in the city need a permit from the City of Las Cruces, which reviews the application before issuing it, and you can ask about your job at the city's community development office at 575-528-3222. When your job needs one, we work out which office covers the address, handle the application and keep you posted.
Is a pre-submittal meeting required for a building permit in Las Cruces?
Only for larger commercial projects and multi-family housing. The city requires one before you apply for any commercial new construction, addition or alteration valued at $1 million or more, and for duplexes and bigger multi-family buildings at any value. Below $1 million it's optional, so a homeowner's driveway or patio won't call for one.
Does a concrete contractor in New Mexico need a state license?
Yes. The state Construction Industries Division says anyone doing construction-related contracting in New Mexico must be licensed, and each applicant posts a $10,000 bond from a surety company to get and renew that license. Contracting without one is against the law, and the division can stop an unlicensed contractor's project and file criminal charges.
Does Las Cruces offer help with drainage or flooding on my property?
Yes, the city offers site visits and recommendations on drainage improvements, floodproofing and other mitigation, and its Certified Floodplain Managers can help with flood maps and basic insurance questions. It's worth doing before a big pour, because we'd rather slope a new slab around what they find than pour it toward your house.
Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one did?
It can, but a well-built slab usually cracks small and along lines we picked. We dig out and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, and cut control joints, shallow grooves that give cracks a straight place to go. If the budget's tight, trim the finish before the base, because a bad base can't be fixed without tearing out the slab.
