Our Concrete & Paving Services

Concrete Flatwork

We specialize in high-quality concrete flatwork in Denver, with a primary focus on durable driveways and walkways. To prevent the major cracking common in our region, we use heavy-duty sub-grade bases and rebar reinforcement. We also incorporate strategic expansion joints that allow the concrete to move without compromising its structural integrity.

Paver Driveway Installation

For a high-end look with added durability, we offer professional paver driveway installation. Unlike solid concrete slabs, pavers provide a flexible surface; if the ground shifts due to soil expansion, individual units can be adjusted or replaced easily. This makes them a practical, low-maintenance solution for Denver homeowners.

Structural Driveway Replacement

If your current driveway is crumbling or sinking, we provide full-service removal and replacement. We manage the entire process, including the disposal of old materials and the preparation of a stable foundation to ensure the new installation remains level and secure.

The Mile Hi Construction Difference

Standard concrete pours often fail in Denver because they don’t account for Colorado’s “expansive soils.” As a local, family-owned team, we don’t cut corners on the structural preparation that prevents slabs from buckling. We pull all necessary permits in Denver and surrounding municipalities, so you can rest assured the work meets every local engineering standard. By prioritizing heavy-duty sub-grade bases and integrated rebar reinforcement, we provide a level of structural integrity that keeps your driveway or flatwork stable for the long haul.

Our Concrete & Paving Process

Step One: Site Preparation & Excavation

We begin by removing existing debris and excavating to the proper depth. This stage is critical for establishing a stable, heavy-duty sub-grade base that supports the weight of the new surface and resists soil expansion.

Step Two: Framing & Reinforcement

Our crew sets the forms to define the shape and slope of your project. For all residential concrete services, we install rebar reinforcement to provide the internal strength necessary to prevent separation and structural failure.

Step Three: The Pour or Placement

For concrete projects, we manage the pour and finish, ensuring the surface is level and properly textured. For paver projects, we lay each stone by hand over a compacted sand and gravel base to ensure a tight, uniform fit.

Step Four: Expansion Joints & Finishing

We cut expansion joints at precise intervals to control where the concrete settles. For pavers, we apply polymeric sand to the joints to lock the stones in place and prevent weed growth.

Step Five: Curing & Quality Control

We conduct a final inspection to verify the pitch and finish. We provide clear instructions on when the surface is ready for use, including the requirement to wait a full seven days before parking vehicles on new concrete.

Step Six: Job Site Cleanup

We take pride in leaving your property better than we found it. Our team thoroughly cleans the work area and removes all forms so your new driveway is ready for immediate use.

Concrete & Paving FAQs

Denver’s expansive soils and rapid temperature changes cause significant ground movement. We mitigate this by using reinforced rebar and strategic expansion joints that allow the slab to move slightly without creating large, structural cracks.

Pavers offer a flexible surface. If the ground shifts significantly, individual pavers can be reset without having to replace the entire installation. They also provide a more decorative aesthetic compared to standard grey concrete.

While you can typically walk on the surface after 24–48 hours, you must wait a full 7 days before parking vehicles on new concrete. This allows the material to reach its full structural strength.
