Casper Concrete is a locally owned concrete contractor serving Sheridan, WY with retaining walls, driveways, and foundations built to handle deep frost heave and the hard winters that come with living at the foot of the Bighorns. We respond within 1 business day.
Sheridan properties - especially those on the hillside lots closer to the Bighorn foothills - deal with soil movement and erosion on slopes that shift with every wet spring and frozen winter. Our concrete retaining walls are engineered to stay in place through Sheridan County's frost heave cycles, not just hold for the first season or two.
Sheridan's postwar ranch homes commonly have driveways that are now 50 to 70 years old and have been through repeated freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snow-clearing contact. We pour replacement driveways with adequate slab thickness and base preparation for the deep frost conditions that define northern Wyoming winters.
Sheridan's summers are warm and clear, and many homeowners want an outdoor living space to take advantage of them. We build patios that shed snowmelt cleanly through proper drainage slope and use control joints to keep seasonal ground movement from cracking the slab mid-panel.
Decks, outbuildings, garages, and additions on Sheridan's larger residential lots all need footings dug below the local frost line. We size footings for the specific structure above and the soil conditions on your lot, and handle Sheridan city permits as part of the job.
The Craftsman bungalows and older frame homes near downtown Sheridan frequently have original front steps that have cracked and shifted from frost heave over the decades. We replace steps to current slope and riser standards so they drain properly and stay level through the freeze-thaw cycles each winter.
Sheridan sits at about 3,700 feet at the base of the Bighorn Mountains in northern Wyoming, where winters are cold, long, and heavy with snow - the city averages around 60 inches per year. The ground here freezes several feet deep every winter and thaws out in spring, pushing on anything embedded in it. That frost heave is the reason driveways heave and crack, retaining walls tilt, and steps shift off level. Chinook wind events - rapid warm-air episodes that can raise temperatures 30 to 40 degrees in just a few hours - add to the stress by causing sudden contraction and expansion in any concrete that already has hairline cracks. Hailstorms in summer add another layer of wear on exposed surfaces.
The housing stock here reflects a long history of settlement. A large share of Sheridan's homes were built before World War II, with another wave coming in the 1950s and 1960s. The Craftsman bungalows and two-story frame homes near downtown and the ranch-style homes in the postwar neighborhoods east of the city center all have original concrete that has been through 60 to 100 years of northern Wyoming winters. Many also have detached garages, outbuildings, and large lots typical of a city shaped by ranching culture. Concrete work in Sheridan regularly covers more than just the main house - our crews work on shop pads, barn approaches, and large lot driveways as often as standard residential flatwork.
Our crew is familiar with the variety of property types throughout Sheridan - from the compact lots in the older neighborhoods near the historic Sheridan Inn and Main Street to the larger lots on the west side of the city closer to the Bighorn foothills. Those hillside-adjacent properties require different base preparation and retaining wall design than the flatter ground east of downtown. When we pull permits in Sheridan, we work with the City of Sheridan development office and understand which projects require inspections before the pour.
Sheridan County has a strong ranching identity, and that shapes the work we do here. Outbuildings, shop pads, barn approaches, and multi-structure lots are common. We regularly bid jobs that include a driveway, a separate garage pad, and a concrete approach to a detached shop - all on the same property. That is different from what we see in more urbanized areas, and we price and schedule accordingly.
We also serve homeowners in surrounding communities. If your property is in Worland, WY, south on US-16 through the Bighorns, we work there regularly. And if you are in Gillette, WY, east on I-90, that is another area we serve throughout the year.
Call us or submit a request through our contact form. We respond within 1 business day to schedule an in-person visit. Sheridan properties - especially those with outbuildings or hillside lots - vary too much for us to give a reliable quote without seeing the site.
A crew member visits your property, measures the scope of work, and assesses the existing base condition. We cover the full cost and timeline at this stage - no surprises after we start. We identify any permits required by the City of Sheridan before work begins.
On the scheduled start date, we remove old material, prepare and compact the subgrade, set forms, and pour. We schedule pours during Sheridan's reliable working window to ensure proper curing - concrete that freezes before it sets loses strength it never gets back.
When the job is done, we walk through the finished work with you and cover first-winter care - which de-icing products to avoid on new concrete, how long before heavy vehicle use, and what to watch for as the slab goes through its first full freeze-thaw cycle.
Whether you need a retaining wall, driveway, patio, or foundation work in Sheridan, we are available 24/7 and respond within 1 business day. Free on-site estimates for all Sheridan homeowners.
(307) 337-0907Sheridan is a city of roughly 17,000 to 18,000 people in northern Wyoming, incorporated in 1884 and shaped ever since by the ranching and agricultural culture of Sheridan County. The Bighorn Mountains rise directly to the west and are visible from most parts of the city - they define the local landscape and drive much of the weather that Sheridan homeowners deal with every year. The city's older neighborhoods near Main Street are filled with Craftsman bungalows and two-story wood-frame homes built in the early 1900s, many of which still have their original structural bones and aging concrete flatwork.
Sheridan has a strong owner-occupied housing base and a practical, working-class sensibility about home maintenance. Larger lots with detached garages, storage sheds, and workshop buildings are common throughout the city - properties here often involve more structures than you would typically find in a city of similar size elsewhere. Nearby communities we serve include Worland, WY, about 90 miles south through the Bighorn Basin, and Gillette, WY, roughly 65 miles to the east along I-90.
