Concrete Work Handled by Crews Who Do It Regularly
Concrete is a different trade than asphalt. Forms, reinforcement, finishing windows, and curing all demand skills that do not transfer from paving, and plenty of paving contractors take concrete work they are not equipped to do well. The results show up in cracked sidewalks and ramps that never quite meet grade.
Asphalt Protectors has run concrete crews alongside our paving operation for years, with over 20 years under Podnar family leadership building that capability deliberately rather than treating it as a sideline.
Sidewalks, curb and gutter, dumpster pads, catch basins, entrance aprons, and ramps across the Reno, NV region. We finish what we start and we return if something needs attention.
Our Commercial Concrete Services
- Sidewalks and Walkways — Pedestrian surfaces installed with proper thickness, jointing, and slope for drainage and accessibility
- Curb and Gutter — New installation and replacement that directs water where your drainage design intends it to go
- Dumpster Pads — Heavy-duty pads engineered for refuse truck loading, which destroys asphalt in that application
- Catch Basin Construction and Repair — New drainage structures and reconstruction of settled or damaged existing basins
- Entrance Aprons — Concrete transitions at property entrances where turning traffic concentrates the heaviest wear
- Ramps — Accessible ramps built to required slope and dimension, with the precision that work demands
Benefits of Concrete in the Right Locations
- Superior Under Concentrated Load — Dumpster pads and loading areas hold up under weight that deforms asphalt within a season
- Long Service Life — Properly installed concrete regularly outlasts the asphalt surrounding it by decades
- Drainage Control — Curb and gutter shapes water movement in ways asphalt edges simply cannot
- Accessibility Precision — Ramps and access routes need dimensional accuracy that concrete forming delivers
- Chemical Resistance — Concrete tolerates oil, fuel, and refuse leachate far better than asphalt binder does
- Visual Definition — The contrast between concrete walks and asphalt driving surfaces makes property layout legible at a glance
Our Concrete Process
- Layout and Grade Verification – Elevations and slopes established first, since accessibility and drainage both depend on getting them right
- Demolition and Removal – Existing concrete saw cut and removed cleanly where replacement work is involved
- Subgrade Preparation – Base material placed and compacted, because concrete cracks when what is underneath moves
- Forming – Forms set and braced to hold true line and grade through the pour
- Reinforcement – Rebar or mesh placed where the application calls for it, particularly on pads carrying heavy loads
- Placement and Finishing – Concrete placed, consolidated, and finished within the working window, with texture appropriate to the surface
- Jointing and Curing – Control joints cut at proper spacing and the surface cured correctly, which is where a lot of concrete work quietly fails
- Verification – Grades and finish checked using the same engineering-informed QC applied to our paving work

- We Come Back If Needed – Our accountability does not stop at the edge of the asphalt
