Concrete contractors in Wheat Ridge, CO

The ground under Wheat Ridge

River sand and gravel

Sand, gravel and silt laid down along the South Platte, Clear Creek and St. Vrain.

River soil drains far better than clay and does not swell. Its problem is the opposite one: loose sand settles under load if the base is not compacted, and groundwater sits closer to the surface near the creek. Slabs here sink at corners and along tire lines rather than heaving.

How we build in Wheat Ridge

Compaction done in lifts, geotextile fabric where the native soil is soft, and a thicker section anywhere a truck, trailer or RV will park.

What fails here first

  • Corners or joints sunk below the next panel
  • Ruts along the tire lines of a driveway
  • Gaps opening under the edge of a slab
  • Damp ground close to the surface after rain
Twelve things worth a look
