9. Call Us — One Call Does It All

Most concrete contractors in Albuquerque do one thing. They pour concrete. If you need the old concrete torn out first, that’s a different contractor. If you need the site excavated and graded, that’s another contractor. If you need debris hauled away, that’s yet another call. By the time you’ve got three or four crews scheduled on the same project, you’ve got three or four schedules to coordinate, three or four invoices to manage, and three or four different people to blame when something goes wrong between phases.

M&M Concrete doesn’t work that way. We are a genuinely full service concrete contractor in Albuquerque NM — meaning one call gets you excavation, demolition, grading, site prep, concrete pouring, finishing, and sealing. Our subsidiary ABQ Backhoe & Bobcat Services handles all the heavy equipment work. Our concrete crew handles everything from the first pour to the final seal. One company. One crew. One point of contact. Call us at (505) 550-0418.

The Problem With Hiring Multiple Contractors

We’ve been in this business for 45 years. We’ve seen what happens when homeowners try to coordinate multiple contractors on a single concrete project. It goes wrong more often than it goes right. Here’s what we see constantly:

• Scheduling gaps. The demo crew finishes on Thursday. The concrete crew can’t start until Monday. It rains Friday and Saturday. Now the excavated sub-grade is saturated and needs to be reworked before anything can be poured. The concrete crew shows up Monday, sees the condition of the site, and either delays further or pours on a compromised base. Neither outcome is good for you.
• Nobody owns the outcome. When the concrete cracks two years later, the concrete contractor says the problem was the site prep. The excavation contractor says the problem was the concrete mix. The demo crew says they just did what they were asked. With no single party responsible for the whole job, you’re left holding the bag.
• Quality control gaps between phases. The grading contractor compacts the base to their standard. The concrete contractor has a different standard. Nobody verified that the two were aligned. The result is uneven compaction under the slab — and eventually uneven settling and cracking.
• Communication failures. The excavation crew digs three inches too shallow because nobody communicated the required footing depth. By the time the concrete crew notices, the excavation crew is already on another job. Now you’re either pulling the forms and redigging — or pouring shallow footings that will heave in the first winter.
• Multiple markups. Every subcontractor adds their margin. By the time you’ve paid the general contractor’s markup on the demo crew’s markup on the excavation crew’s markup, you’ve paid significantly more than you would have if one company handled everything directly.

None of this happens when one company handles the whole job. When we’re responsible for every phase — from the first shovel of dirt to the final coat of sealer — there’s no finger-pointing, no scheduling gaps, and no quality control handoffs between crews who don’t know each other’s standards.

What Full Service Actually Means

The term “full service” gets thrown around a lot by contractors who don’t really mean it. For us it means something specific — we handle every phase of your concrete project with our own crew and our own equipment. Here’s what that actually looks like on a real job:

A homeowner in North Albuquerque Acres calls us about replacing a cracked, sunken driveway. Here’s what happens when M&M Concrete handles it as a full service contractor:

• We come out and assess the site — soil conditions, existing concrete thickness, drainage, caliche depth, access for equipment.
• We give you one written quote covering demo, haul-off, excavation, base prep, forming, reinforcement, pour, finish, and sealing. One number. No surprises.
• Our demo crew breaks up the old concrete using our own equipment. Our haul-off truck removes the debris. Same day — sometimes same morning.
• Our Bobcat operator grades and compacts the sub-grade to our standard — the standard we know works for Albuquerque’s soil conditions and for the concrete mix we’re going to pour on top of it.
• Our concrete crew sets forms, installs rebar, pours, finishes, and seals. The same people who prepared the base are watching the pour. Nothing got lost in translation between phases.
• We clean up and leave. You have a new driveway. One invoice. Done.

That’s full service. Not a general contractor managing four subcontractors and taking a markup on each one. One company, start to finish.

We Own Our Own Equipment — Here’s Why That Matters

This is the part that separates legitimate full service contractors from ones who just say they are. We own our backhoes. We own our Bobcats. We own our haul-off equipment. Our operators are our employees — not subcontractors called in from a rental yard.

Why does that matter?

• Our equipment operators know our concrete standards. They’ve worked alongside our concrete crews for years. They know how deep we need the excavation, how level the grade needs to be, what compaction we require, and how drainage needs to be designed for the concrete that’s going on top. A rental operator or subcontracted excavation crew doesn’t know any of that.
• We control the schedule. When we own the equipment, it’s available when we need it. We’re not waiting on a rental yard’s availability or a subcontractor’s schedule. Your project moves on our timeline, not someone else’s.
• One crew, consistent quality. The operator who excavates your site is working alongside the crew that pours your concrete. If something doesn’t look right during excavation — a soft spot, unexpected caliche, drainage issues — it gets addressed immediately by people who understand how it affects the concrete phase. Nothing falls through the cracks between separate crews.
• You pay one company’s rates. No subcontractor markup. No general contractor overhead layered on top of equipment rental costs. We own the equipment, we operate it, and we charge you our rate — not a marked-up rate on someone else’s work.

Everything We Handle Under One Roof

Here’s a complete breakdown of every service M&M Concrete and ABQ Backhoe & Bobcat Services provide as part of our full service offering:

Concrete Demolition and Removal

We break up and remove existing concrete — driveways, patios, foundations, sidewalks, slabs — using our own heavy equipment. We haul it away the same day in most cases. You don’t need a separate demo contractor. We do it, we haul it, we move straight into site prep without a scheduling gap.

📖 Further reading: Our concrete demolition page | Concrete demolition and replacement guide

Excavation and Site Preparation

Excavation for foundations, driveways, patios, trenches, and any other concrete work. We dig to the required depth, remove unstable material, address caliche and clay pockets, and prepare the sub-grade for concrete. All with our own equipment, our own operators, on our schedule.

Dirt Grading and Land Leveling

Precision grading for proper drainage, new construction, and landscaping projects. In Albuquerque’s terrain — with monsoon runoff, expansive soils, and varying grades — proper grading is the difference between concrete that lasts and concrete that fails. We grade for the specific concrete that’s going on top.

Land Clearing and Grubbing

Full vegetation and root removal to prep raw land for construction. Roots left under a concrete slab will lift and crack it as they decompose and as the soil settles around them. We clear completely — not just the surface.

Concrete Driveways

Standard broom finish, exposed aggregate, or decorative stamped — we pour driveways that last 30-50 years in Albuquerque’s climate. Every driveway includes proper base prep, rebar reinforcement, control joints, and sealing as part of the full service package.

Concrete Patios and Walkways

Outdoor living spaces built to handle Albuquerque’s heat, UV exposure, and monsoon season. Properly graded, reinforced, and sealed. Plain finish or decorative — we build patios that last and look great doing it.

Stamped and Decorative Concrete

Flagstone, Ashlar slate, cobblestone, wood plank, brick — we do all of it. Stamped concrete in Albuquerque requires an experienced crew because the timing window is narrow in our summer heat. We’ve been doing it for 45 years.

Concrete Foundations

Monolithic slabs, stem wall foundations, garage slabs, metal building foundations, home additions. Every foundation poured to the right depth, with the right rebar, on a properly prepared base. We don’t separate the foundation pour from the site prep — we do both.

Gravel Removal and Installation

Hauling out old gravel and delivering and spreading fresh base or decorative gravel. Part of site prep on many concrete projects — and something we handle in house without subcontracting.

Trenching

Digging trenches for water lines, gas lines, electrical conduit, irrigation, and footings. Precision trenching with our own equipment — no rental operator who doesn’t know your project.

Tree and Stump Removal

Full removal of trees and grinding of stumps. Roots and stumps left under a concrete slab are a ticking clock — they decompose, soil settles, concrete cracks. We clear them completely before any pour.

Junk Removal and Lot Clean-Up

Clearing debris, old materials, and junk from residential and commercial properties. Before concrete goes in, the site needs to be clean. We make it clean.

General Demolition

Tearing down structures, sheds, walls, and outbuildings safely and efficiently. We’ve demolished everything from small backyard sheds to large commercial structures. Our equipment makes it fast and our crew makes it safe.

Real Full Service Jobs We’ve Done in Albuquerque

Here’s what full service looks like on actual projects we’ve completed:

Complete Driveway Replacement — North Albuquerque Acres

A homeowner had a 1,200 sq ft driveway that had been cracked and sunken for years — originally poured without proper base prep or rebar. We demolished and hauled the old concrete, excavated and compacted the sub-grade, hit caliche at about three feet and broke through to stable soil, formed and poured a new 5-inch reinforced slab, finished with a decorative exposed aggregate surface, and sealed it. One crew, one company, start to finish. The homeowner made one call and wrote one check.

Foundation and Site Prep — Custom Home, Sandia Foothills

A custom home builder needed excavation, foundation prep, and a full stem wall foundation for a 3,200 sq ft custom home in the Foothills. We cleared the site, excavated to the required footing depth through granite substrate, installed the stem wall footings, poured the interior slab, and handled all the drainage grading around the perimeter. No separate excavation contractor, no scheduling coordination between companies. We handled it all.

Commercial Slab and Lot Clearing — South Valley

A South Valley business needed a large parking area — approximately 8,000 sq ft. The site had old asphalt, debris, and overgrown vegetation that needed clearing before concrete could go in. We cleared the site, removed the old asphalt, graded and compacted the sub-grade, and poured a reinforced commercial slab in sections. One company managed every phase of that project from the first day of clearing to the final day of pouring.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does full service concrete contractor mean?

It means one company handles every phase of your concrete project — from demolition and excavation through the final pour and sealing — with their own crew and their own equipment. No subcontractors, no scheduling coordination between separate companies, no quality control gaps between phases. M&M Concrete and our subsidiary ABQ Backhoe & Bobcat Services handle everything start to finish.

Why is it better to use one contractor for the whole concrete job?

Three main reasons. First, quality control — when one crew is responsible for every phase, nothing gets lost between handoffs. Second, scheduling — no gaps between demo crew finishing and concrete crew starting. Third, accountability — if something isn’t right, there’s no finger-pointing between separate contractors. One company owns the outcome from start to finish.

Do you handle both the excavation and the concrete pour?

Yes. Our subsidiary ABQ Backhoe & Bobcat Services handles all excavation, demolition, grading, and site prep. Our concrete crew handles forming, pouring, finishing, and sealing. Both are part of M&M Concrete — one company, one crew, one invoice.

How much does full service concrete work cost in Albuquerque?

It depends on the scope of the project. A full service driveway replacement — demo, haul-off, excavation, base prep, pour, finish, seal — typically runs $5,000 to $12,000 for a standard two-car driveway in Albuquerque. A full service foundation project runs $7,000 to $20,000+ depending on size and foundation type. See our complete 2026 pricing guide for detailed breakdowns.

Do you work on commercial concrete projects in Albuquerque?

Yes. We handle both residential and commercial concrete work throughout Albuquerque and central New Mexico. Commercial projects — parking lots, commercial slabs, warehouse floors, equipment pads — benefit especially from our full service capability because the scope and coordination demands are larger. One company managing all phases of a large commercial pour is significantly more efficient than multiple subcontractors.
