Residential Concrete Services Built for Colorado
Concrete in Greeley has to survive expansive soils, heavy snow, sudden spring thaws, and 90-degree summers. The difference between a slab that lasts 30 years and one that starts cracking by year two comes down to prep work: compaction, thickness, reinforcement, and control-joint spacing. At GIMA Renovation, every concrete job starts with a written scope covering exactly how we're going to pour, finish, and cure your project.

How We Prep for Colorado Freeze-Thaw
Most residential concrete failure in Northern Colorado isn't from the pour itself. It's from the sub-base and the control joints. Our process for every driveway, patio, and walkway:
- Proper sub-base prep: excavate to firm soil, then lay and compact road base in lifts.
- Correct thickness: 4" minimum for residential, 5 to 6" for trucks, trailers, and RV pads.
- Reinforcement: fiber mix or rebar grid depending on load, soil, and span.
- Air-entrained mix design: required for freeze-thaw durability on any exterior slab.
- Control joints cut on time: properly spaced and cut within 24 hours to control where concrete cracks.
- Cure & seal: curing compound or wet cure, plus a penetrating sealer to protect against salt and moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Greeley, CO?
Most residential concrete driveways in Greeley run $8–$14 per square foot for a standard broom finish, with stamped, colored, or exposed-aggregate work running $14–$22 per square foot. Tear-out of old concrete, added thickness, and rebar reinforcement add to the total. We quote free after a site visit.
How thick should my concrete driveway be?
4 inches minimum for residential driveways used by cars and light SUVs, 5–6 inches for trucks, trailers, or RV parking. Every driveway gets proper sub-base compaction and reinforcement so it handles freeze-thaw without random cracking.
What's the best time of year to pour concrete in Colorado?
Late spring through early fall is ideal because temperatures stay consistently above freezing and cure times are predictable. We can still pour in cold months with insulated blankets, heated enclosures, and accelerators, but warm-season pours produce the cleanest finish.
How long before I can drive on new concrete?
24 hours to walk on it, 7 days before light vehicle use, and 28 days before parking heavy trucks, RVs, or trailers. That's when concrete reaches roughly 90% of its design strength.
Do you tear out and replace old concrete?
Yes. Full tear-out, haul-away, re-grading, and fresh pour is a core part of our work, especially for older driveways, patios, and walkways that have heaved or cracked. We recycle the broken concrete when possible and prep the sub-base so the new pour actually lasts.
