Concrete Driveway and Patio Contractor in Arrowhead Lakes, Glendale, AZ
Lakefront yards in Glendale, poured right down to the water's edge.
Glendale · River and wash alluvium
Arrowhead Lakes is the waterfront part of Arrowhead Ranch in Glendale, where houses back onto the lakes and canals. The backyard is the whole point here, and it usually slopes down toward the water. Owners call us for a patio that faces the lake, a walk down to the shoreline, or steps and pads that turn a grade into usable space. Getting there means planning crew and equipment access through a narrow side yard, since the water blocks the back.
Working in Arrowhead Lakes
Arrowhead Lakes is the waterfront part of Arrowhead Ranch in Glendale, where homes back onto the lakes and canals and the HOA reviews exterior work, including the yard on the water side.
The HOA here reviews exterior work, including the yard on the water side, so we prepare the layout, finish and color for that review before anything is formed. The ground is river-laid silt and sand that settles if it was never compacted, so we compact in lifts and slope each slab to send runoff toward the yard, clear of the house. The wider Arrowhead Ranch community and the rest of Glendale have pages of their own. The City of Glendale handles permits.
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.
Most river and wash soil drains well and swells very little. Its problem is settlement: loose, dry silt and sand that was never compacted packs down when it gets wet or carries a load, so slabs sink at corners and along tire lines. Close to a wash, monsoon runoff can also cut away the soil at the edge of a slab.
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
