Expert Concrete Contractor in Hatch, NM — Foundations Sized for Valley Soil

We coordinate Hatch-area permit applications through the NM CID Las Cruces field office at 505 South Main Street — the same office that handles residential structural permits across most of Doña Ana County, including the Village of Hatch. Projects outside the village limits in communities like Garfield or Salem may involve slightly different parcel-level jurisdiction, and we confirm that before submitting paperwork on any Hatch Valley job.

Hatch sits at Exit 41 off I-25, and the village itself is compact enough that most residents know each other. Sparky's restaurant on the main street is a genuine local institution, and the Historic St. Francis de Sales Church reflects the village's layered history going back well before its 1928 incorporation. The annual Hatch Chile Festival on Labor Day weekend draws over 30,000 visitors to a village of roughly 1,500 — that ratio says everything about what this place means to the region. We schedule project access and material deliveries around the Festival window when work is planned for late summer.

Percha Dam State Park sits just south of the village along the Rio Grande, and the riparian bosque along the river corridor creates a distinct microenvironment compared to the open desert farther south. Irrigation canals and ditches cross many residential and agricultural parcels. We flag those features during site assessment because they affect drainage design for every concrete project near them. To the south, Las Cruces is where our base of operations sits — 37 miles down I-25 — so Hatch is a straightforward run for us.

Hatch is a small incorporated village in northern Doña Ana County with a 2020 population of about 1,539, sitting at Exit 41 on I-25 between Las Cruces and Truth or Consequences. It is internationally known as the Chile Capital of the World, a title earned by the distinctive flavor profile of the New Mexico green and red chiles grown in the surrounding Hatch Valley's fertile, irrigated soil. The village was first settled in 1851 and named after General Edward Hatch, commander of the Military District of New Mexico, after Apache raids twice forced earlier settlers out before the community took permanent hold.

The Hatch Valley's economy centers on agriculture. Chiles, onions, cotton, and corn grow in fields irrigated by a combination of Rio Grande surface water and groundwater wells. Farming is not background scenery here — it is the daily reality of most families in the area. The unincorporated communities surrounding the village, including Garfield, Salem, Placitas, and Rincon, extend the Hatch Valley's residential footprint well beyond the village limits.

The annual Hatch Chile Festival on Labor Day weekend draws more than 30,000 people, swelling the village to many times its normal size for two days. Outside of festival season, Hatch's pace is quiet — residents know their neighbors, and local businesses that provide reliable work earn lasting loyalty. Percha Dam State Park sits along the Rio Grande just south of the village, offering fishing, camping, and bird watching under the cottonwood bosque that lines the river.

We also serve Las Cruces to the south — the county seat and our home base — and the surrounding communities throughout Doña Ana County. Hatch is a natural extension of that service area for us.
