Our Process

How Concrete Driveways Works

01

Free On-Site Estimate

We measure the driveway area, assess existing conditions (soil, grade, drainage, demo needs), discuss finish options, and provide a clear written estimate.

02

Demo & Site Prep

If replacing, we break out and haul off the old concrete. The subbase is excavated to the correct depth, graded for drainage, and compacted. Forms are set with proper slope toward the street.

03

Reinforcement & Pour

Rebar or wire mesh is placed for structural strength. Concrete is poured in one continuous session, then screeded, bull-floated, and edged. Control joints are cut to control cracking.

04

Finish, Cure & Cleanup

Your chosen finish is applied — broom texture, stamped pattern, or smooth trowel. Curing compound is applied for New Mexico's dry climate. Forms are stripped and the site is cleaned up.

Why Choose Us

Why Our Concrete Driveways Stands Out

Your driveway is one of the first things people see when they visit your home — and in New Mexico's high desert climate, it takes a beating from UV exposure, temperature swings, and expansive soils. Sombrero Construction builds driveways that look great and hold up for decades. Whether you need a brand new driveway pour for new construction, a full demo-and-replace of cracked or settled concrete, a driveway widening or extension for extra parking, or a decorative stamped finish — we handle every phase from excavation and grading through forming, pouring, finishing, and curing. Every driveway we pour includes proper subbase compaction, reinforcement (rebar or wire mesh), control joints to prevent random cracking, and finishing techniques suited to your chosen look — from standard broom finish to stamped patterns and integral color. Whether you're building a new driveway in Rio Rancho, adding a patio in Corrales, pouring a slab in Albuquerque's North Valley, or installing a block wall in Bernalillo — our crew knows the local soil, climate, and building requirements and delivers quality results on every project.
