Clovis Concrete Crew pours concrete for homeowners in Kerman, about 21 miles west of Clovis at the crossing of State Routes 180 and 145.
How Kerman Got Its Name
Kerman began around 1891 as a water tank and pump on a new Southern Pacific line, first named Collis after railroad president Collis P. Huntington. In 1892 train bandits robbed a Southern Pacific train there. Later, two Los Angeles investors, William G. Kerckhoff and Jacob Mansar, bought the land, brought in water from the Enterprise Canal off the Kings River, and combined the first three letters of their last names into "Kerman." The city incorporated in 1946 and had 16,016 residents at the 2020 census. At about 220 feet, it sits lower than Clovis on the western side of the Valley.
Kerman Concrete Projects
Most of what we pour in Kerman falls into a few groups:
- Driveway replacement or extension: cracked older slabs and more vehicles than the original drive was built for
- RV and boat pads: side-yard parking for trailers
- Patios and covered patio slabs: shade for long summer evenings
- Walkways and steps: fixing trip hazards on older walks
The Things We Watch For
Heat
Kerman summers are long and dry. Fresh concrete in that weather needs an early start and proper curing, or the surface can crack and dust.
Drainage on flat lots
Water doesn't run off a flat lot on its own. We build a gentle slope into every slab so rain moves away from the house.
Heavy loads
Pads for trailers and trucks get extra thickness, rebar, and a compacted Class II aggregate base.
Permits
Kerman is an incorporated city, so work on the public sidewalk or driveway approach goes through the City of Kerman. We check before scheduling.
