Living in Alamosa, CO means enjoying breathtaking views, four distinct seasons, and—you guessed it—some unique challenges when it comes to maintaining your concrete surfaces. From icy winters to sun-baked summers, Alamosa’s climate can do a number on your driveways, patios, sidewalks, and foundations if you’re not proactive. The good news? With a little seasonal TLC and guidance from trusted professionals like SLV Quality Concrete, your concrete can stay strong and look great all year long.
Alamosa is known for its high-desert climate: low humidity, wide temperature swings, and harsh winters. These conditions lead to what’s called freeze-thaw cycling: when moisture enters tiny cracks in concrete, freezes, expands, and causes further cracking or spalling. Add intense UV exposure in summer and you’ve got a recipe for concrete fatigue.
But don’t worry, prevention goes a long way. Let’s break it down season by season.
Winter is tough on concrete. As the snow melts and temperatures warm, spring is the ideal time to inspect all your concrete surfaces.
