Concrete Contractor services in Palmer
Two things set Palmer apart for concrete work: the wind and the silt. The Matanuska wind can blow hard for days in winter, and it built the deep, fine farm soil the valley is known for. That soil grows giant cabbages, but it is poor ground for a slab. Silt soaks up water, freezes and lifts. So in Palmer the topsoil and silt come out and a thick layer of gravel goes in before any forms are set. The same wind dries fresh concrete fast, which causes surface cracks if the slab is not protected and cured. Housing runs from the 1930s colony farmsteads and the old downtown grid to newer subdivisions along the Palmer-Wasilla Highway. Older homes often have thin walks and a carport slab that has heaved out of level.
