Concrete Contractors in Ellicott, CO

Ellicott is a rural community in eastern El Paso County, and concrete contractors working here mostly build heavy-use slabs on spacious lots. Wikipedia describes Ellicott as an unincorporated census-designated place governed by El Paso County, with 1,248 residents and 430 housing units on about 10.9 square miles at the 2020 census. That works out to roughly 40 homes per square mile, so most properties have room for a shop, a barn or a place to park equipment. Ellicott sits at about 6,021 feet. We pour shop and garage floors, RV and trailer pads, driveway aprons, patios, walks and steps, and we repair concrete across the area.

Small post office, wide area

The Ellicott post office operated from April 29, 1895, to July 31, 1916, according to Wikipedia. Today the area is served by the Calhan post office under ZIP code 80808, so many Ellicott properties carry a Calhan address. When you call, tell us the road and nearest crossroad so we can plan the drive and the ready-mix truck's route.

Slabs that work hard

On rural lots, concrete is usually there to carry weight. A pole barn floor holds a tractor, a pad holds a camper or stock trailer, and a garage apron takes every turn of a loaded pickup. Each needs a well-compacted base, thickness matched to the load, and reinforcement where it adds strength. For a building slab, plans for the structure come first, so we can place thickened edges and anchor bolts where the builder needs them.

Gravel roads and culverts

Ellicott is unincorporated, so El Paso County handles driveway access. The county requires an Access Permit to construct, reconstruct, pave or enlarge a driveway that meets a county road, and to install, replace or move a driveway culvert. Its right-of-way FAQ adds that on a gravel road, a paved driveway should end before reaching the culvert, and that owners are responsible for the culvert and for keeping the ditch clear 10 feet on each side. Most of our Ellicott driveway work is an apron or parking area near the buildings, well back from the road.

Weather on the open plains

Wide-open ground means wind and sun on every pour day. We schedule around gusty forecasts, keep fresh concrete from drying too quickly and apply curing compound when finishing is done. In winter, snow drifts against buildings and melts across slabs, so we pitch pads and aprons to carry water away from doors. Long slabs get control joints at a planned spacing so any cracking stays in straight, tidy lines.

Patios for country living

Not every Ellicott job is about equipment. A patio off the back door gives a clean, level place for a grill and table away from dust and mud. On open lots we think about wind and afternoon sun when we place it, often tucking it against the east side of the house for evening shade, and we slope it away from the foundation.
