Concrete Contractors in Stratmoor, CO

Stratmoor is a small, tightly built community on the south side of Colorado Springs, and most of the work concrete contractors get here is everyday fixes: a driveway that has cracked through, a walk with a trip edge, a patio that has dropped. Wikipedia lists Stratmoor as an unincorporated census-designated place governed by El Paso County, with 6,518 residents and 2,479 housing units in about 2.65 square miles at the 2020 census. Mail comes through the Colorado Springs post office under ZIP code 80906. We replace and repair driveways, walks, steps, patios and garage floors here.

Dense lots change the plan

With roughly 935 homes per square mile, many Stratmoor lots are narrow and close to their neighbors. That affects how a concrete job is done more than most people expect. Forms have to be set right along the property line, the ready-mix truck may only reach the street, and the finished slab has to drain without sending water onto the house next door. We sort all of that out at the estimate visit, so the plan and the price reflect your actual access.

A boundary that has moved

Stratmoor sits at the edge of three jurisdictions. Wikipedia notes that in 2014 the City of Fountain annexed about 60 acres west of Interstate 25 at Exit 135, north of South Academy Boulevard, and that part of the Stratmoor CDP went with it. Most of Stratmoor remains under El Paso County, and its neighbor to the north is Colorado Springs. Which government's rules apply depends on the exact address, so we check before we quote any work that touches the street side of your lot. For county addresses, the county requires an Access Permit to build, rebuild, pave or enlarge a driveway that meets a county road.

Lower ground, more water

At about 5,781 feet, Stratmoor is lower than most of Colorado Springs, and water from higher ground flows through it toward Fountain Creek. On these lots, drainage is the first thing we look at. A driveway that pitches toward the garage, a patio that pools against the back wall or a walk that holds a puddle after every storm will keep failing until the water problem is fixed. We set the slope of every new slab to carry water away, and we suggest downspout extensions where roof water is landing on concrete.

Fixing what you have

Not every cracked slab needs to come out. If a driveway has a single straight crack and the two sides are level, sealing it may be all it needs for now. If a walk section has dropped but is still in one piece, lifting can bring it back to level. If panels are broken into pieces or rocking, replacement with a properly compacted base is the long-term answer. We price the realistic options side by side.
