Claude & Armstrong County
Claude, Texas sits 28 miles east of central Amarillo on US-287 and is the county seat of Armstrong County. Small town (~1,150 population), county-seat character, and a heavily rural surrounding. The concrete work here skews ag and ranch — long driveways, working ranch infrastructure, shop slabs, occasional oil-and-gas pours in the Panhandle field extension into Armstrong County.
Armstrong County borders Palo Duro Canyon on the west and the canyon-country badlands to the east. Ranching runs the county economy along with some oil-and-gas, tourism from the canyon-adjacent scenic drives, and light retail along US-287.
What We Do in Claude
- Long rural driveways — acreage lots, driveways run long, join FM roads or county roads, need real cross-slope drainage
- Ranch and shop slabs — 6″–8″ pours for equipment barns, welding shops, hay storage buildings
- Cattle working infrastructure — chute pads, handling floors, feed pads, water trough foundations
- Residential in the town of Claude — patios, sidewalks, driveways in the older residential grid
- Oil-services — Panhandle Field production extends into Armstrong County
- Canyon-adjacent custom home foundations — properties on the east side of Palo Duro Canyon
Canyon-Adjacent Residential + Ranch Work
Some of the most beautiful custom homes in the Amarillo area sit on the east rim of Palo Duro Canyon in Armstrong County. These lots need custom foundation design (often pier-and-beam or over-excavated pad with engineered fill), slope-stability review, custom decorative concrete (stamped patios and pool decks with canyon-view orientation), and longer driveway runs (500+ feet from the FM road to the house).
Ranch Concrete
Working ranches in Armstrong County need concrete that survives 20+ years of livestock, weather, and heavy equipment:
- Chute pads — textured broom finish for grip, ~4' × 20' typical
- Working corral floor pads — high-slope drainage, sealed for cleanability
- Feed trough foundations — anchor bolts for metal trough attachment, sloped
- Cake feeder pads — square pads at trough locations
- Water trough foundations — level pads with pipe penetrations pre-set
