Proper Curing is Key: Curing is the process of keeping newly poured concrete moist to allow it to harden properly. Given Rio Rancho's dry heat, premature cracking is a real concern. To make sure the concrete cures slowly and evenly we use specialized curing techniques, like applying curing blankets or water spray misters. This results in a stronger and more durable surface.
The Right Mix for Our Climate: Not all concrete mixes are created equal. We use ready-mix concrete, specially formulated to suit our weather conditions. These mixes typically include additives that help improve resistance to cracking and heat stress.
The type of soil on your property significantly impacts the concrete's foundation. Here's how we address typical soil types in our area:
