Concrete Contractors in Peyton, CO

Peyton is a small place with a big mailing area, and concrete contractors who work here cover a lot of open country. Wikipedia lists the Peyton CDP at just 214 residents in 2020 on about 2.3 square miles, at an elevation of about 6,877 feet, but the Peyton post office and ZIP code 80831 also serve nearby Falcon. So a Peyton address can mean a farmhouse near the old townsite, an acreage lot off a gravel road or a newer subdivision home. We pour driveways, shop and RV pads, patios, walks and steps, and we repair concrete across that whole area.

A railroad town on US 24

Peyton sits on US Highway 24 between Colorado Springs and Limon. Wikipedia says George Peyton settled the area in 1888, and it was surveyed and platted on Christmas Day that year. It was first named Mayfield, but the post office refused the name because California already had one, so it became Peyton. The Rock Island railroad shaped the early town; its original depot was replaced in 1945, and the railroad sold that depot to the Methodist Church in 1958.

Acreage concrete is different

On larger rural lots, concrete is often more about work than looks. Typical jobs include a slab for a pole barn or detached shop, a wide pad for a camper or equipment trailer, a parking area by the house, and a concrete apron where a gravel driveway meets the garage. These slabs carry heavier loads than a suburban driveway, so we size thickness and reinforcement to the vehicles and equipment that will actually sit on them. For a building slab, any plans for the structure come first, since anchor bolts and thickened edges need to be in the right place.

Gravel roads and culverts

Peyton is unincorporated and governed by El Paso County. 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 where the road is gravel, a paved driveway should stop before the culvert, and that the owner is responsible for the culvert and for keeping the ditch clear 10 feet on each side. We plan where your concrete starts and stops around those rules.

Wind, drifting snow and runoff

On the open plains east of Colorado Springs, wind drives snow into drifts against buildings and fences, and spring melt can sit on flat ground for days. Concrete near a shop door or garage needs a slope that carries meltwater away rather than letting it freeze in place. Strong wind on pour day also dries fresh concrete quickly, so we watch the forecast and cure each slab with care. Long runs of concrete get control joints at a planned spacing so cracks form in straight lines.
