Glendale concrete, top of Long Valley
Glendale is at the top of Long Valley, right on Highway 89. We come through on the way up the mountain, which makes small jobs here easy to fit in.
Glendale
Highway 89 runs straight through Glendale, a farm and orchard town at the upper end of Long Valley. At about 5,800 feet it is lower than Duck Creek but still cold country, with real snow some winters. The lots are rural, and so are the requests. A patio behind the house, a pad beside the barn for the trailer, a strip of curb to keep the gravel drive out of the lawn.
The town is small enough that no concrete company is set up to serve it alone. Whoever comes is driving in from somewhere else and wants a big job to make it pay. We look at it differently, because Highway 89 through Glendale is our road north. A pour here gets matched with Orderville jobs or dropped onto a mountain run. The drive is carried by the whole route, not by your patio.
Pouring in Glendale
- A longer season than the mountain
- Glendale thaws sooner and freezes later than the cabins up top, so there are more weeks to work with. Winter is still off the table most years. We aim for spring through fall and steer around any cold snap in the forecast.
- Still freeze and thaw country
- Long Valley sees plenty of nights below freezing with sunny days after. That back and forth is harder on concrete than steady cold. We order air-entrained mix for outdoor slabs here, the same as we do higher up.
- Room for trailers
- Lots in Glendale tend to have space, and that space fills up with stock trailers, campers and equipment. Parking any of it on a thin slab is asking for cracks. Our trailer pads go 5 to 6 inches thick, with rebar, over a packed gravel base.
Common jobs in Glendale
- 1
RV and trailer pads
Stock trailers and campers need more thickness and steel than a patio, and they need to sit level.
- 2
Curbing and mow strips
Concrete curb holds a gravel driveway in place and gives the mower a clean line along the grass.
- 3
Patios
A back patio is the best seat in the valley on a summer evening, and a small one is typically a one day pour.
- 4
Sidewalks and paths
Paths between the house, the shop and the garden stay usable in mud season once they are concrete.

Glendale: straight answers
Does Glendale get its own pour day?
Sometimes it shares one. Glendale and Orderville are a few miles apart, so we usually treat Long Valley as one stop. If there is enough work in Glendale alone, it gets its own day. Either way you will know the date ahead of time.
Can you pour in Glendale in winter?
We would rather not. Concrete that freezes before it cures is weak for good, and Long Valley nights get cold enough to do that. If a mild stretch shows up we may take a small job. Most winter requests go on the list for spring.
How thick should a pad for my trailer be?
For a camper, a stock trailer or a loaded flatbed, we pour 5 to 6 inches with rebar. A regular patio or walk is typically 4 inches. Tell us what will park on it when you text, so we plan the right slab.
