About Boulder
Boulder is a city at the base of the Flatirons in Boulder County, home to the University of Colorado Boulder. It sits at about 5,400 feet along the foothills.
Regional considerations
Colorado's dry air, strong sun and wide temperature swings affect how concrete sets and cures. Cold-weather pours may need protection such as blankets, and hot, windy days can speed up surface drying.
