Concrete Contractors in Cimarron Hills, CO

Cimarron Hills is an odd spot on the map, and that matters when you hire concrete contractors. Wikipedia describes it as an unincorporated community governed by El Paso County and an enclave of the City of Colorado Springs, meaning the city surrounds it but does not govern it. It had 19,311 residents and 7,316 housing units at the 2020 census, sits about three miles north of the Colorado Springs Airport, and lies at about 6,447 feet. We pour and repair driveways, patios, stamped concrete, walks and steps, garage floors and RV pads across the community.

County rules inside a city

Because Cimarron Hills is county land, driveway and right-of-way work here goes through El Paso County, not the City of Colorado Springs. The county's right-of-way FAQ says an Access Permit is needed to construct, reconstruct, pave, alter or enlarge a driveway that meets a county road, including one that has been in place for years. Other work in the right-of-way calls for a separate permit. A neighbor a few blocks away, across the city line, may be following different rules entirely. We confirm which side of the line your address is on before we schedule.

Built over an old railroad

Wikipedia notes that in 1888 the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad began building a main line from Limon to Colorado Springs through the area, and the Rocky Mountain Rocket ran passenger service on it from 1939 to 1966. The tracks were pulled up in 1993, and the old grade is still visible from the air. The Census Bureau first defined the Cimarron Hills CDP for the 1980 census. Most of the homes here are suburban houses with attached garages and straightforward front driveways, which makes the area a common place for driveway replacements and widenings.

Open ground and wind

At about 6,450 feet on the open plains east of the city, Cimarron Hills gets strong sun and wind. Both pull water out of fresh concrete fast, which can lead to surface cracking if curing is not managed. On a hot or windy pour day we time the work for cooler hours, keep the surface from drying too fast and apply a curing compound when the finish is done. In winter, the same open exposure means snow drifts against garage doors and freezes in low spots, so we pay close attention to the slope at the garage apron.

Pads for trucks, trailers and campers

This part of the region has plenty of pickups, work trailers and campers. A driveway built at 4 inches for cars is not meant to carry a loaded trailer day after day. For RV and trailer pads we go thicker, compact the base more thoroughly and consider reinforcement. Before we design any side pad, check your HOA covenants for rules on parking campers or boats in view of the street.
