About Colorado Springs
Colorado Springs is the county seat of El Paso County and sits at the base of Pikes Peak at roughly 6,000 feet of elevation. It is one of Colorado's largest cities, with neighborhoods spread from the foothills on the west side to the plains on the east.
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.
