About Concrete Contractors of Las Cruces
Concrete Contractors of Las Cruces plans commercial concrete, site utilities and earthwork across Las Cruces and Dona Ana County.
What does a concrete and dirt contractor actually do in the Mesilla Valley? Mostly we deal with three things: heat, water and distance. We pour the slabs, build the foundations, pave the lots and dig the trenches, and we do it in a place where summer highs average 96.2 degrees in June, the whole year brings about 9 inches of rain, and the next supplier or the next job site can be an hour down the interstate.
We are Concrete Contractors of Las Cruces. If you are a general contractor, a developer, a farm or dairy operator, a city or a plant manager, this page tells you how we work and what you can expect from us, in plain terms. It also tells you where we go, because the work here follows the highways: I-10 and I-25 meeting at the south end of the city, NM 28 running down the river valley, and the roads out to the border.

How we work
How we work
The process is the same on a small apron and a large site, and we say it plainly. We locate the utilities, including the ditches. We strip and prove the subgrade with a proof-roll and density tests. We set forms and steel and check them to line and grade. We pour inside the window we named in the bid. We cure, protect and test, and we hand over the records.
The bid is where we are most direct. It names the yardage, the mix, the steel, the haul and the weather assumptions, plus the allowance for utility conflicts. Where the ground cannot be known until it is open, we price it by the unit and explain what triggers it. New Mexico sets one statewide commercial code, the 2021 New Mexico Commercial Building Code, which adopts the 2021 International Building Code as amended and took effect July 14, 2023. We confirm local amendments and the permit path before we price, and we build testing into the scope.
If you have a plan set, send it over. If you have a site and a question, tell us about it and we will tell you what we would want to see before we give you a number.
Do you take jobs outside Las Cruces?
Yes. We work across Dona Ana County and the Mesilla Valley, down toward Anthony and Santa Teresa, north along I-25 to Hatch, and west toward Deming and Columbus. For long hauls the bid states the plant, the drive time and the mix plan.
Can you work around irrigation ditches?
Yes. We mark ditches and laterals on the plan, schedule crossings with the district when needed, and build around active flows. That keeps the pour on schedule and the water where it belongs.
Do you do work for farms and dairies?
We do. Equipment pads, feed and wash-down slabs, containment and heavy access roads are all part of our scope. We build them with the base, steel and joints that wet, heavy loads call for.
What is the best time of year to pour?
Spring and fall are easiest, but we pour year-round. Summer calls for evaporation control and early starts, and winter nights at the northern end of our range can call for blankets. Either way, the plan is part of the bid.
Do you handle drainage and stormwater?
Yes. We grade to the plans, set curb and gutter, inlets, pipe and culverts, and build detention basins. We look at where water goes before we set elevations, since flat desert ground floods in sheets.
