Denver's Family-Owned Concrete Contractor

Beautiful, built-to-last concrete patios, sidewalks, driveways and flatwork — poured and finished to resist Colorado's freeze-thaw cycles, across the entire Denver metro area and beyond.

When homeowners and businesses search for a concrete contractor in Denver, they're looking for more than someone who can pour a slab — they want a finished surface that's level, attractive, and engineered to survive Colorado winters without cracking apart. Advance Asphalt Services brings that same craftsmanship to concrete that we're known for in asphalt. We're a family-owned, BBB A+ rated company based in Golden, and we pour concrete patios, sidewalks, driveways and flatwork for properties across the entire Denver metro area and beyond.

Concrete is one of the most durable and versatile building materials available. Done right, a concrete patio or driveway can last 30 to 40 years and dramatically boost a property's value and curb appeal. But "done right" matters enormously at 5,280 feet. Colorado's roughly 150 annual freeze-thaw cycles, expansive soils, and dramatic temperature swings punish concrete that was poured on a poorly prepared sub-base or finished without proper control joints. That's exactly why we obsess over the fundamentals: a compacted, well-drained base, correct concrete mix and thickness, properly placed joints to control cracking, and patient curing. The result is concrete that stays flat, solid and beautiful for decades.

Because we install both concrete and asphalt in-house, we're also in a unique position to give you honest advice about which surface is actually right for your project — we have no incentive to push one over the other. Below is a full breakdown of our concrete services, an honest comparison of concrete versus asphalt, our process, and the questions Denver property owners ask us most. Prefer to just talk it through?

Concrete Driveways

A concrete driveway is a long-term investment — rigid, heavy-duty, and capable of lasting decades with minimal maintenance. We build with reinforced sub-base prep, proper thickness for vehicle loads, and well-placed control joints to manage Colorado's thermal movement. The payoff is a clean, high-curb-appeal driveway that holds up for the long haul. Weighing concrete against asphalt? See our honest comparison below.

Concrete Flatwork & Slabs

From shed and garage slabs to porches, steps, equipment pads and approaches, we handle all types of concrete flatwork. Each pour gets the same attention to base prep, reinforcement and finishing — because a slab is only as good as what's underneath it. Level, square and built to spec for whatever you're putting on top.

Stamped & Decorative Concrete

Want the durability of concrete with the look of stone, brick or tile? Stamped and decorative concrete gives you patterned, colored finishes at a fraction of the cost of natural materials — ideal for patios, walkways and entryways that make a statement. We'll walk you through pattern and color options to complement your property.

Concrete Repair & Replacement

Cracked, heaved, settled or spalling concrete isn't just unsightly — it's a trip hazard and a sign of underlying issues. We assess the cause, then repair or replace damaged sections, addressing the sub-base and drainage problems that caused the failure so it doesn't happen again. Honest recommendations on whether a repair or a full replacement is the smarter value.

Why Denver Concrete Is Different

Pouring Concrete That Survives Colorado

Concrete is incredibly strong in compression but vulnerable to a few specific forces — and Colorado happens to deliver all of them. A concrete contractor who understands the local conditions builds around them from the ground up.

Freeze-Thaw & De-Icing Salts

Denver's ~150 freeze-thaw cycles a year are as hard on concrete as they are on asphalt. Water that soaks into the surface and freezes can cause spalling — flaking and pitting of the top layer. We use appropriate concrete mixes and recommend sealing to reduce water absorption, and we counsel customers on minimizing harsh de-icing salt use, which accelerates surface damage.

Expansive Soils

Much of the Front Range sits on expansive clay soils that swell when wet and shrink when dry. This movement can crack and heave slabs that weren't placed on a properly prepared, well-drained sub-base. Thorough base preparation and grading for drainage are non-negotiable parts of every pour we do.

Control Joints & Curing

All concrete cracks eventually — the craft is controlling where it cracks. We place control joints at correct intervals so the inevitable shrinkage happens along clean, planned lines rather than randomly across your patio. Then we cure the concrete properly, because rushing the cure is one of the most common causes of weak, surface-damaged slabs. Patience here pays off for decades.

Questions & Answers

Denver Concrete FAQ

The questions homeowners and property managers ask our team most often.

How much does a concrete patio cost in Denver?
Cost depends on square footage, finish type (broom, smooth or stamped/decorative), site access and sub-base needs, so every project is different. We provide a free, no-obligation written estimate. Decorative and stamped finishes cost more than a standard broom finish but still come in well below natural stone or pavers.
How long before I can use my new concrete?
Concrete is typically safe to walk on within 24–48 hours, but you should wait about 7 days before heavier use and around 28 days for full strength. For driveways, we'll advise you on exactly when it's safe to park vehicles based on the mix and conditions.
Why does concrete crack, and can it be prevented?
All concrete shrinks as it cures, so some cracking is natural. The key is controlling it: we place control joints at proper intervals so cracks form along clean, planned lines, and we prep a stable sub-base to prevent the heaving and settling that cause random cracks. Proper curing matters too.
Should I choose concrete or asphalt?
Concrete is best for patios, sidewalks and decorative flatwork where longevity and design matter; asphalt is usually better for driveways and parking lots where lower cost and quick installation are priorities. Since we install both, we'll give you straight advice. See our asphalt services page for that side.
Do you do both residential and commercial concrete?
Yes. From backyard patios and front walkways to commercial sidewalks, slabs and HOA flatwork, we handle concrete projects of all sizes across the Denver metro — with the same attention to base prep and finishing on every job.
What areas do you serve?
We're based in Golden and serve the entire Denver metro area and beyond — including Denver, Lakewood, Arvada, Wheat Ridge, Littleton, Centennial, Aurora, Englewood, Westminster, Morrison, Evergreen and surrounding Front Range communities. Not sure if you're in our area? Just call — chances are we cover it.
Should I seal my concrete?
In Denver's climate, sealing is a smart move. A quality concrete sealer reduces water absorption, which limits freeze-thaw spalling and protects against de-icing salt damage — especially on driveways and walkways. We're happy to advise on the right sealer and timing for your surface.
Residential & Commercial

Concrete for Every Kind of Denver Property

Whether it's a backyard patio or a commercial sidewalk system, we bring the same standards to every concrete pour — but the priorities shift depending on the project. Here's how we approach each.

Residential Concrete

For homeowners, concrete is about creating spaces that look great and last. A new patio extends your living space outdoors; a concrete driveway or front walkway sets the tone for the whole property. We focus on clean lines, the right finish for your home's style, and the base work and joint placement that keep that surface flat and crack-controlled through years of Colorado seasons. We'll also walk you through simple steps — like sealing and smart winter de-icing — that protect your investment for decades.

Commercial Concrete

For businesses, property managers and HOAs, concrete sidewalks, slabs and flatwork are a safety and liability matter as much as an aesthetic one. Uneven, cracked or heaved concrete is a trip hazard and a claim waiting to happen. We pour to spec with proper reinforcement and drainage, deliver ADA-conscious slopes and transitions on walkways, and schedule work to keep your property accessible and operating. The result is durable, compliant concrete that protects both your visitors and your bottom line.

And because we also handle asphalt paving and seal coating, many of our commercial clients use us for their entire site — concrete sidewalks and approaches paired with asphalt parking lots — from a single trusted, BBB A+ contractor. One call covers it all. Learn more about Advance Asphalt Services or request your free estimate today.
