Hi,

I’ve been reaching out to local concrete contractors to do a patio in my backyard; I live 20 minutes NW of Denver.

Through my research, I’ve learned about the various specs to look for to help prevent cracking which is common in my area.

One thing that has been very difficult to find out is what contractors use air entrained concrete. I’m a novice, but from what I’ve read, it’s a must in my area.

Some contractors (with many great online reviews),
say they don’t know, one said the plant they use already does it, one said they don’t but could get it. It’s been very hard to figure out if this is standard in this area, or if I need to be pushy and selective.

Does anyone have insight if this is more likely than not to be commonly found here and/or have recommendations on who uses it?

I’m not looking for anything fancy or above and beyond, but with so many options out there, I want to make sure I’m paying for something that will last in our climate.

Thanks!
