Replacing the Sidewalks

Asphalt Coatings Company started at Retreat at Cheyenne Mountain by replacing worn concrete sidewalks that lead to the apartment doors. The sidewalk work ran over three days, from tear-out to finished concrete.

Four Steps

• Tear out: the crew dug out the old walks, which had loose rock along their edges.
• Form: wood forms and rebar then set the shape of each new walk.
• Pour: on the second day, fresh concrete was spread into the forms and finished smooth.
• Cure: tape and cones kept residents off while the concrete cured, and the forms came off the next day.

Sealcoating the Lots and Drives

Asphalt Coatings Company sealcoated the parking lots and drives at Retreat at Cheyenne Mountain about two weeks after the sidewalk work. Black sealcoat now covers the drives, the parking rows and the spaces under the carports.

While each section dried, cones closed it off, so residents could use the rest of the property during the work.

Striping and Red Curbs

Asphalt Coatings Company striped the sealcoated lots at Retreat at Cheyenne Mountain. White stall lines and ADA stalls were painted on top of the new coat, and the curbs along the drives were painted red.

Painting curbs red along the drives marks where parking is not allowed and keeps the drive lanes clear.

Yellow Speed Humps

Asphalt Coatings Company painted the speed humps at Retreat at Cheyenne Mountain in bright yellow. Yellow speed humps cross the main drive and the lane by the carports. More were painted about two weeks after the sealcoating, with cones holding traffic back while the paint dried.

Bright paint on speed humps helps drivers see them in time to slow down on residential drives.
