Concrete Patio Contractor in Youngtown, AZ

From 1960 blocks to 2000s streets, one crew for every Youngtown patio.

Maricopa County · Caliche desert floor

Youngtown covers about a square and a half miles beside the Agua Fria River, and its streets cover a lot of years. Some blocks were built mostly around 1960, the median home dates to 1979, and other streets went up after 2000. On the oldest lots, the patio is often a thin slab that has cracked, sunk at a corner or been patched more than once. Behind the newest houses, owners usually want to extend a builder slab. We handle both: tear-outs and full replacements, extensions, stamped or colored finishes, and pads for a pergola or grill.

Planning a patio in Youngtown

Under Youngtown the ground is caliche desert floor. A hard, cemented layer sits somewhere from a few inches to a few feet down, and water can't drain through it, so the soil above stays wet and soft after a storm or a long run of the sprinklers. An old patio poured on that soft layer is the one that rocks or settles. Where caliche sits high, we break it out and replace it with compacted aggregate base. Then the slab goes in with rebar on chairs and a slope that sends water toward the yard.

Youngtown is its own town of about 7,000 people, so permits go through the Town of Youngtown, and covers or shade structures are what most often need one. Older homes sometimes have tight side yards, so we check the path for a wheelbarrow or pump hose at the estimate. Youngtown is about 17 miles from North Phoenix, inside our area, next to El Mirage, Sun City and Peoria. Summer pours start in the cool morning hours.

  • Joint layout that fits the design
  • Color that holds up in the sun
  • A UV-resistant sealer, renewed every few years
The ground under Youngtown

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

Youngtown patio questions

Straight answers

Sam The Concrete Man North Phoenix builds patios in Youngtown, where the median home was built in 1979 and many backyards still have an original slab. We extend or replace it on compacted base, sloping the surface so water heads away from the house. Pergola or shade footings are dug through the gravelly caliche ground, and a lighter integral color or a cool-deck style finish keeps the patio cooler in summer.
