Concrete Driveways & Slabs in Tempe, AZ

Driveways, slabs, walkways and decorative concrete, formed and finished — Tempe, Maricopa County.

Most concrete work in Tempe is replacement work, and replacement work is decided by access before it is decided by anything else. These are narrow streets with cars on both sides, small front setbacks, side gates that were sized for a wheelbarrow, and in a lot of neighbourhoods a mature tree hanging over exactly where a truck needs to stand. So the first thing we work out is how the material gets to where it is going, because that shapes the whole job. We pour driveways and driveway approaches, back patios and slab extensions, walkways, equipment and shed pads, curbing, and decorative finishes — stamped, broom-finished or coloured. Under all of it the subgrade gets cut to a consistent depth, soft ground dug out and replaced with compacted material, and control joints cut where the slab will want to move anyway.

Concrete in Tempe

Something to raise on an older Tempe lot is what the tree roots have been doing. A driveway or a front walk that has lifted at one edge next to a big tree has usually lifted for a reason that is still there and still growing. Pouring a new slab over the same roots without dealing with them is how a homeowner ends up paying twice, so we look at what is under the old surface before agreeing on a scope.

Landlocked since the 1990s, so nearly every yard is an old one being redone rather than a new one being built

Questions about concrete in Tempe

The concrete truck cannot get to the back yard. Now what?

It is a normal situation on these lots and there are ways around it, but the method changes the plan, so it is the first thing we look at rather than something discovered on pour day.

My front walk has lifted at a joint. Can just that piece be replaced?

Often yes, section by section between the existing joints. Whether the new piece will stay level depends on what lifted the old one, which is the part worth looking at first.

Can new concrete be stamped or coloured instead of plain grey?

Yes. Stamped patterns and integral colour are both options, and they are decided before the pour rather than after, since the finish goes on while the concrete is still workable.
