Concrete Contractors in Green Mountain Falls, CO

Green Mountain Falls is a tiny mountain town, and the concrete contractors who work here spend most of their time on steps, walks and small pads on steep ground. Wikipedia lists it as a statutory town incorporated on August 19, 1880, at about 7,756 feet, with 646 residents at the 2020 census on about 1.1 square miles. It is one of the few towns in the region that sits in two counties: 622 of its residents live in El Paso County and 24 in Teller County. We pour and repair steps, walks, small patios, parking pads, garage floors and failing concrete around town.

A resort town with a famous gazebo

History Colorado says the town's gazebo was built in about 1888, when the area was being developed as a summer resort, and was designed as a scenic attraction for visitors arriving by train. It stands on a small island in a man-made lake and was added to the State Register on August 31, 2006. Many homes date from the town's resort years, and they were built as summer cabins on hillside lots, not year-round houses on level ground. That history shows up in the concrete: thin old slabs, steps pieced together over time, and walks that follow the slope rather than fighting it.

Boundaries that surprised the town

Wikipedia notes that in 1968 officials resurveyed the town's 1890 legal description and found that key buildings and nearly half of residents were outside the town limits, so the town had to redraw its boundaries. It is a good reminder that in Green Mountain Falls, where a property line falls is not always obvious. Before we form a walk, pad or step near a road or a neighbor, we look for survey pins or plat information so the new concrete stays on your side.

Building on a mountainside

At more than 7,700 feet, winters are longer and colder than in Colorado Springs, and many lots get little sun in the cold months. Concrete here needs air entrainment, careful curing and a pour window that avoids early or late freezes. On steep lots, access is the other big factor. A ready-mix truck may not reach the work, so we plan pump placement or smaller pours and protect the slope from erosion while forms are set.

Steps are the most common job. We rebuild with consistent risers and treads, solid footings and landings where the climb is long, and we give each tread a slight pitch so water and melt run off.
