What moves the price

Six things that decide what your project costs

01

Size and shape

The crew, the truck and the setup cost about the same for a small pad as for a big patio, so small jobs cost more per square foot. Curves, steps and tight corners add forming time.

02

Tearing out the old slab

Breaking out, loading and hauling away old concrete is its own line on the estimate, and thick or heavily reinforced slabs take longer.

03

The ground under it

Caliche that sits high has to be broken out and hauled off, wash soil needs compaction in lifts, and clay pockets mean digging out soft soil for compacted aggregate base. Foothills lots add rock excavation and drainage.

04

Thickness and reinforcement

Six inches with rebar for trucks and RVs costs more than four inches under a walk. It is also the difference between a slab that lasts and one that cracks.

05

The finish

Broom finish is the baseline. Integral color, exposed aggregate and stamped patterns add material and labor, and they need sealing to keep their look.

06

Access, timing and permits

A truck that can reach the forms is cheaper than pumping or wheeling concrete to the back yard. Summer pours are scheduled for early mornings, and work in the street right-of-way can add a city permit.

Cost questions

Questions about concrete prices

Not much. Prices in the Phoenix area sit close to national ranges: concrete finishers here earn about the national average, and local contractors’ published 2026 prices line up with the national ones. The bigger difference is the ground. Caliche that sits in the way of the base has to be broken out and hauled off, and national averages don’t include that.
