Concrete Patio Contractor in Chandler, AZ
Builder patios from the '80s and '90s, made big enough to live on.
Maricopa County · Caliche desert floor
Half of Chandler's homes went up between the mid-1980s and 2000, and in north and central Chandler that shows in the backyards. The original patio is often a narrow strip under the roofline, about deep enough for two chairs. Most of our Chandler patio jobs extend that strip out into the yard, square it off for a dining table, or carry it around the side of the house to a grill or a fire pit. Many owners add a stamped or colored border to tie old and new concrete together.

Chandler sits on caliche desert floor. That hard, cemented layer can be a few inches or a few feet below the grass, and it holds water like a pan. The soil above it gets soft when irrigation runs long, which is why so many older patios here sag at the yard edge. We dig to firm ground, break out caliche that sits high and replace it with compacted base, then place rebar on chairs before the pour.
Permits and inspections in Chandler go through the City of Chandler, and we'll check whether your patio cover or shade structure needs one. Most Chandler subdivisions also have an HOA, so we prepare the layout, finish and color for review. Backyard access is usually through a side gate, and we'll measure it at the estimate to plan how concrete gets in. Call (602) 773-1313 for a free on-site visit and a printed quote.

- Fire-pit, grill and outdoor-kitchen slabs
- Step pads and paths to the patio

Caliche desert floor
Gravelly desert soil on the fans and terraces of the Valley floor, often with a layer of caliche, soil cemented hard by calcium carbonate or silica, anywhere from a few inches to a few feet down.
Dig to firm ground, break out caliche that sits high in the base and haul it off the site, bring in aggregate base compacted in lifts, and slope the slab and the grade so roof and sprinkler water run away from it and off the hardpan.
What fails here first
- Slabs sunk or cracked beside sprinkler beds and downspouts
- Water standing along an edge for days after a storm
- Corners and edges dropped below the next panel
- Cracks that keep opening over the same low spot
