Concrete Patio Contractor in Melrose, Phoenix, AZ
Neighborhood patios a few blocks from the Melrose Curve.
Phoenix · River and wash alluvium
Melrose grew up along the 7th Avenue Melrose Curve, and the streets behind the shops are lined with 1940s and 1950s ranch homes. Many of them have been fixed up by owners who like the mid-century look, and the backyard patio is often the next project. Original slabs here are usually small, with a dropped panel or a crack across the middle. People in Melrose ask for a patio sized for friends and a grill, a cleaner finish, and a covered area or pergola that suits a ranch roofline.
Typical Phoenix-area price$7–$12 / sq ft · stamped $12–$18installed · free written estimatePlanning a patio in Melrose
Melrose sits on river and wash alluvium, sandy silt that compacts well when it's done right and settles when it isn't. The usual reason old patios here failed is water: a downspout aimed at the slab, a lawn watered right up to the edge, or a patio that sloped toward the house. We pull the old concrete, dig out soft ground, compact the base in lifts and set the slab to drain toward the yard. Beds and lawns at the edge get a border so watering stays clear of the base.
Melrose is in the City of Phoenix, so a new cover follows city rules, and the crew checks what your project needs. Side yards and gates are often narrow, and a pump or wheelbarrows get the concrete to the back when needed. Summer pours start early in the morning with curing started right away, and monsoon storms are planned around.

What’s included
A Melrose patio gets planned around the yard, the shade and where storm water goes on river and wash alluvium, and the quote spells out each part:
- New patios and patio extensions
- Stamped, colored and exposed-aggregate finishes
- Pergola and shade-structure pads, with footers
- Fire-pit, grill and outdoor-kitchen slabs
- Step pads and paths to the patio
- Patio replacement and resurfacing
- Slope away from the house
- Compacted base for caliche or clay
- Joint layout that fits the design
- Color that holds up in the sun
- A UV-resistant sealer, renewed every few years
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
