Apple Valley concrete from a nearby crew
Apple Valley is on our road. It sits between our base and Hurricane, which makes it one of the easiest places for us to pour.
Apple Valley
Climb Highway 59 out of Hurricane and the land opens up into Apple Valley, high and flat with mesas on the horizon. Lots are measured in acres, neighbors are a long way off, and a typical place has a workshop or a line of trailers parked by the fence. Concrete earns its keep here. A pad that holds a camper level. An apron so the shop door does not open onto mud.
For a crew out of St. George, Apple Valley means a long climb up the hill for a small pour, and small pours often get turned away. We come from the other direction. Our base in Colorado City is nearby, across the state line. Jobs here get paired with Hildale or Hurricane pour days. Text a photo of the ground and a rough size. If it is not clear from the picture, we are close enough to come by.
Pouring in Apple Valley
- Higher and colder than the valley
- Apple Valley sits near 5,000 feet, far above Hurricane. Summers are milder, and winter brings real freezes and some snow. We watch overnight lows closely from late fall to early spring and cover fresh concrete so frost cannot damage the surface.
- Red sand and wind
- The ground is mostly red sandy soil, and the wind across the flat is steady. Dry sand will not stay put under a slab unless it is wetted and compacted. Wind also dries a fresh surface quickly, so we cure it damp.
- Dirt roads and long driveways
- A loaded ready-mix truck is heavy and does not do well on soft or washed out roads. Before we set a date we ask about the route from the highway to your pour spot. After a storm, we may wait a day for it to firm up.
Common jobs in Apple Valley
- 1
RV and trailer pads
With acreage and open space, most Apple Valley properties have a camper or trailer that needs level, solid parking.
- 2
Shed and hot tub slabs
Tack rooms and storage sheds sit better on a level slab than on bare sand, which shifts and washes.
- 3
Driveway add-ons
A concrete apron in front of a garage or shop door keeps dirt and mud from tracking inside.
- 4
Patios
Wind and sand make bare ground hard to live on, so a patio by the back door gets daily use.

Apple Valley: straight answers
Can a concrete truck make it down my dirt road?
Most of the time, if the road is dry, firm and wide enough to turn around. Send a photo of the road and your driveway entrance. If the truck cannot reach the spot, we move concrete the last stretch with a buggy or wheelbarrows.
Does the cold in Apple Valley hurt concrete?
It can if a fresh slab freezes. In cold months we pour on mild days, use a mix made for freeze and thaw, and cover the slab overnight. It also helps to keep de-icing salt off new concrete through its first winter.
How far away are you?
Not far. We are based in Colorado City, nearby, across the state line, and Apple Valley is on our way toward Hurricane. Being close makes it simple to stop and look at a job with a slope or tricky access.
