Las Cruces Concrete Company serves Anthony, TX with concrete sidewalk construction, driveway installation, and slab work across this tight-knit border community. We work on both sides of the New Mexico–Texas state line, hold an active New Mexico Construction Industries Division contractor license, and have completed residential concrete projects along the I-10 border corridor since 2021. Anthony, TX requests receive a response within one business day.
Anthony, TX sits on the state line between New Mexico and Texas. Every project here is permitted and built to comply with the applicable local authority — the Town of Anthony or El Paso County — before a single form is set.
Anthony's walkable town core — anchored by Triangle Park at the intersection of Antonio, Franklin, and 11th streets and Henry Miramontes Park nearby — connects residents on foot to schools, the post office, and Main Street businesses. A concrete sidewalk built to the correct cross-slope and cured properly for the border region's climate handles the desert temperature swings between summer highs near 97 degrees and winter nights that can drop below freezing, without the surface deterioration that accelerates when curing protocols are skipped in the heat.
With roughly 78 percent of households in Anthony's ZIP code 79821 owner-occupied, driveways here are long-term investments that homeowners expect to last. A 4- to 5-inch reinforced concrete driveway over a properly compacted base handles I-10 corridor traffic patterns — which skew toward trucks and heavier vehicles — without the oxidation and softening that asphalt develops under the sustained summer heat of far West Texas.
The Rio Grande levee trail runs along Anthony's eastern boundary, and the outdoor character of the town makes a durable patio a natural extension of how people use their properties here. A concrete patio graded correctly for this area's occasional intense summer rain drains runoff away from the house rather than letting it pool against the foundation during one of the short, heavy afternoon storms the border region sees in July and August.
Older residential properties in Anthony's core near Doniphan Street and Main Street often have entry steps that have degraded from years of desert temperature cycling and caliche soil movement beneath their footings. Replacement concrete steps with properly set footings and correct riser dimensions restore safe access to the entry and hold their shape through the winter cold and summer heat that define this border climate.
Anthony incorporated in 1952 and has a mix of older residential properties and newer construction on the town's edges along I-10. New builds in Anthony require a slab foundation that accounts for the caliche hardpan and sandy soils common across this stretch of the border. Getting the subgrade preparation right before the pour is not optional here — caliche that is not properly addressed creates an uneven bearing surface that stresses the slab from the first dry season after construction.
Properties along Anthony's Rio Grande levee edge and on any lot with grade changes between street level and the yard can benefit from a concrete retaining wall that holds soil in place through the monsoon season. Concrete handles the lateral load from backfill reliably and does not rot or warp the way timber retaining solutions do under the combination of desert heat and periodic saturation from heavy summer storms.
Anthony, TX is a small, tightly owned community. The homeownership rate in ZIP code 79821 runs approximately 78 percent, well above the national average, with a below-average vacancy rate of around 6 percent. When nearly eight in ten households own their home, concrete work is not an abstract expense — it is a long-term investment in a property most residents plan to keep. That context shapes what people expect from a contractor here: honesty about what will last, not the lowest bid that gets the job done by next week.
The climate along this stretch of the Texas–New Mexico border creates specific demands on concrete. Summer daily highs average 97 degrees Fahrenheit in July, with low relative humidity that causes fresh concrete to lose surface moisture faster than it hydrates — a recipe for plastic shrinkage cracks if the crew does not apply evaporation retarder during finishing and cover the slab within minutes of completion. Winter nights average near 29 degrees in January, meaning Anthony experiences genuine freeze-thaw cycling that does not always get respect from contractors who only think of desert work in terms of heat. Control joints spaced for the actual slab thickness — not a generic pattern — direct the resulting stress to predetermined lines rather than random fractures across the surface.
The soils in this part of El Paso County include caliche hardpan layers at varying depths, and the sandy loam common across the border corridor drains quickly but does not always compact consistently. Neither condition is a problem if a contractor assesses and addresses it during site preparation. Both become expensive problems if a slab is poured over unchecked subgrade and the first full year of seasonal cycling reveals what was underneath.
We work in Anthony regularly as part of our I-10 border corridor coverage, which means we are familiar with the range of soil conditions across the town's 6.5-square-mile footprint. Properties closer to the Rio Grande levee trail on the town's eastern edge sit on soils that have more moisture history than the drier sandy ground farther west toward the state line. That difference shows up in subbase behavior — what works on one side of town may need a different aggregate depth on the other.
Anthony is easy to navigate: I-10 and Texas State Highway 20 run through the town as Main Street and Doniphan Street, and most residential addresses are within a few minutes of either. Triangle Park at the center of town — the triangular green space where Antonio, Franklin, and 11th streets converge — and Wet 'n' Wild Waterworld on South Desert Boulevard are the landmarks we use when communicating with customers about location. The Anthony Independent School District campus complex on Wildcat Drive adjacent to Town Hall is a reference point near the middle of the residential area.
Customers in Anthony, NM — directly across the state line — face nearly identical soil and climate conditions, and we serve both communities as one continuous service area along the I-10 corridor. Customers in Canutillo, TX south along the Rio Grande are also within our regular service territory.
Call or use the contact form with a description of the work and your Anthony, TX address. We respond within one business day. No payment or commitment is needed to schedule a site visit.
We visit the property to check subgrade conditions, drainage, and access. The written estimate separates subbase work, reinforcement, concrete materials, labor, and permit costs. If subgrade surprises are found during excavation, we communicate that before proceeding — not after the pour.
We coordinate the required permit before scheduling the pour. Summer pours are timed for early morning to stay ahead of peak heat. You do not need to be on-site, but we provide a same-day update when the pour is complete and the curing has begun.
Curing compound is applied immediately after finishing. We walk you through the waiting period for foot traffic and vehicle use before leaving the site. A final walkthrough confirms the finished surface matches the estimate. We remain available by phone if questions come up in the days after the pour.
All Anthony, TX estimate requests receive a response within one business day. The form submission is no-obligation — you get a written, itemized quote after the site visit. Most sidewalk, driveway, and patio projects along the I-10 border corridor are scheduled within two to three weeks of estimate approval.
(575) 222-9104Anthony, TX is an incorporated town in El Paso County situated directly on the Texas–New Mexico state line, approximately 16 miles northwest of downtown El Paso. It holds the informal distinction of being the first town a traveler enters when crossing into Texas from New Mexico on Interstate 10 — a role that gives it the civic identity of a true gateway community. The town was laid out around 1881 when the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway was extended to the site, and it formally incorporated on July 5, 1952. The 2020 Census recorded a population of 3,671 across 1,412 households, concentrated in a compact 6.5-square-mile footprint. More about the town's history is available on the Anthony, Texas Wikipedia article.
The town has a strong civic identity built around community green space and an unusual national distinction. Triangle Park — where Antonio, Franklin, and 11th streets converge near the center of town — serves as the community's central gathering point, with a large metal welcome sign facing I-10. Henry Miramontes Park, expanded through a roughly $780,000 Texas Parks and Wildlife grant, provides organized recreation space for residents. The town also shares joint recognition with Anthony, NM as the officially designated Leap Year Capital of the World — a designation formally entered into the Congressional Record in 1988 and celebrated with a quadrennial festival at Anthony Municipal Park. The Anthony Independent School District operates three campuses — elementary, middle, and high school — within a single fenced complex on Wildcat Drive adjacent to Town Hall, with a school mascot of the Wildcats.
The Rio Grande levee trail runs along the eastern boundary of the town's municipal limits, providing a paved public path accessible to walkers, cyclists, and anglers that runs north to the state line. Wet 'n' Wild Waterworld on South Desert Boulevard is the largest recreational attraction physically within Anthony and draws visitors from across the El Paso–Las Cruces metro region each summer season.
