Concrete Driveway Contractor in Arcadia, Phoenix, AZ
Old Arcadia driveways, rebuilt under the shade of Camelback.
Phoenix · River and wash alluvium
Arcadia sits at the foot of Camelback Mountain, and half its homes were built before 1966. A lot of those houses still have the narrow single-car drive they started with, now heaved by a citrus root or cracked where a newer car keeps parking half on the grass. Owners here usually want a drive that fits two cars and suits a remodeled house, so we do full tear-outs, widening, circle drives and side parking pads, finished in stamped, colored, exposed-aggregate or a clean broom texture.
Typical Phoenix-area price$8–$12 / sq ftinstalled · free written estimateWhat Arcadia driveways need
Under the lawns is river and wash alluvium, silt and sand that drains well and stays stable as long as it's packed tight. Ground that was never compacted settles when it gets wet or carries weight, and Arcadia lots get both: flood irrigation, sprinklers along the edge and heavy vehicles on old base. We take out the soft soil, compact new base in lifts, pour a thicker section where trucks park and keep irrigation water running away from the slab and out from under it.
Arcadia is in the City of Phoenix, so the part of the drive in the street right-of-way is built to city standards, 6 inches thick, usually under a city permit, and we handle that piece. Mature trees and tight side yards shape access, and we plan around both before the crew shows up. Summer pours start in the cool morning hours.

What’s included
Every Arcadia driveway we pour starts with the ground under it, river and wash alluvium here, and the same list of work goes into the quote:
- New concrete driveways
- Driveway replacement and tear-out
- Extensions, widening and side parking
- RV and trailer parking pads
- Stamped, colored and exposed-aggregate finishes
- Aprons at the street, with the city permit where one is needed
- Caliche, fill and soil checked before forming
- Compacted aggregate base, deeper where you park heavy
- Slope that sends water away from the garage
- Control joints laid out before the pour
- A pour timed and cured for the heat
River and wash alluvium
Layered silt, sand and gravel laid down by the Salt River and the desert washes, across the flood plains and alluvial fans of the central and west Valley.
Compaction done in lifts at the right moisture, with loose or soft soil dug out and replaced, a thicker section anywhere a truck, trailer or RV will park, and grading that keeps runoff off the slab and out from under it. Washes and drainage easements stay open.
What fails here first
- Corners or joints sunk below the next panel
- Ruts or cracks along the tire lines of a driveway
- Gaps opening under the edge of a slab
- Soil washed out along an edge after a monsoon storm
