Concrete Slab Installation

Strong, stable, and built to last—our slabs are designed to stand up to New Mexico’s shifting soils and seasonal changes.

We pour concrete slabs for:

• Garages and carports
  
• Backyard sheds and workshops
  
• ADUs or guesthouses
  
• Utility and HVAC pads
  
  

Every slab includes:

• 95% compacted subgrade to prevent settling
  
• Rebar reinforcement and expansion joints
  
  

Smooth, level finish ready for building or anchoring structures

Concrete Patio Installation

Your backyard should feel like an extension of your home—and a well-designed concrete patio makes that possible.

We create patios that are:

• Finished with decorative stamping or classic broom textures
  
• Custom-colored to complement the Southwest aesthetic
  
• Sealed to protect against UV rays, moisture, and surface wear
  
  

Whether you want a cozy corner for coffee or a large space for entertaining, we’ll help design a patio that fits your lifestyle.

Concrete Driveway Installation

A driveway isn’t just a place to park—it’s the welcome mat to your home. We build driveways that are as functional as they are attractive.

Our driveways feature:

• Reinforced concrete that holds up under daily vehicle traffic
  
• Proper slope grading for water runoff and drainage
  
• Finishes that boost curb appeal (smooth, broom, or stamped)
  
  

Built right, a concrete driveway can last 30+ years with minimal maintenance.

Walkways & Sidewalk Installation

Safe, stylish, and practical—walkways do more than connect spaces. They enhance the overall flow of your yard or entry area.

We install walkways and sidewalks with:

• ADA-compliant slopes and widths for easy access
  
• Integrated designs that complement your landscape
  
• Slip-resistant finishes like salt, exposed aggregate, or broom texture
  
  

From garden paths to front entryways, our walkways guide the way with durability and charm.

Concrete Repair & Resurfacing

Cracked, sunken, or worn-out concrete doesn’t always need to be replaced. In many cases, we can restore it with the right repair techniques.

We offer:

• Crack sealing and joint resealing to stop water damage
  
• Surface grinding and overlays to restore smoothness and traction
  
• Polyurethane foam jacking to lift settled slabs without major disruption
  
  

It’s a cost-effective way to bring life back to older concrete surfaces..

Local Roots, Local Expertise

We’re based in Rio Rancho, and we understand the challenges that come with sandy soils, seasonal monsoons, and sun exposure. That insight helps us design and pour concrete that lasts longer and performs better across every season.

Proven Craftsmanship

Our crew has decades of hands-on experience delivering high-quality slabs, foundations, walkways, and decorative finishes. Whether it’s a garage slab in Ventana Ranch or a patio in Bernalillo, we follow best practices that ensure long-term value.

We start every project with a free, no-obligation site evaluation. After walking your property, we’ll provide expert suggestions and a detailed estimate—no sales tactics, just helpful advice.

Reseal Every 2–3 Years

Out here in the high desert, the sun can bleach and break down unsealed surfaces, while moisture from monsoon storms can seep in and cause long-term damage.

Regular sealing helps:

• Block UV rays that fade colored or stamped concrete
• Protect from water intrusion during heavy rain
• Preserve decorative finishes and resist wear from road salt in winter

If your concrete looks chalky or dull—it’s time for a reseal.

Choose the Right Ice Melt in Winter

Winters in Rio Rancho may be short, but when it freezes, you’ll want to melt ice without harming your slab.

Here’s what to use (and what to avoid):

• Use calcium chloride or sand for traction
• Avoid ammonium-based deicers—they can chemically break down concrete
• Apply sparingly and sweep off residue afterward



Choosing the wrong deicer just once can reduce your concrete’s lifespan.

Keep It Clean

Our dry climate means dust, leaves, and sand build up fast on outdoor surfaces. A little routine cleaning goes a long way.

Try this:

• Sweep regularly to avoid stains or surface abrasion
  
• Rinse with a garden hose or low-pressure washer
  
• Use pH-neutral cleaners—harsh chemicals can etch decorative concrete
  
  

Clean concrete not only looks better—it lasts longer.

Repair Cracks Before They Grow

Concrete naturally forms small cracks—but Rio Rancho’s freeze-thaw cycles and dry shifts can turn hairlines into big problems if ignored.



Here’s what you can do:

• Fill hairline cracks with flexible sealants
  
• Address issues before water can seep in
  
• Stop weeds from growing and causing further damage
  
  

Early repairs = less expense down the line.

In Rio Rancho, permits are typically needed for concrete projects that alter grading, attach to structures, or impact sidewalks and curbs. We handle:

• Permit applications with the City of Rio Rancho & Sandoval County
  
• Compliance with local slope, drainage, and ADA regulations
  
• Coordination with inspectors to avoid delays or rework

Not all contractors understand the high desert challenges. Be sure to ask:

• Are they familiar with local soil and weather?
  
• Do they guarantee their work?
  
  

At Elite Form Concrete, we proudly say yes to all the above—and we back it up with references from your neighbors in Corrales, Paradise Hills, and beyond.
