Concrete Driveway and Patio Contractor in Lehi, Mesa, AZ

Long drives, horse lots and ditch banks along the river in Lehi.

Mesa · River and wash alluvium

Lehi is the north Mesa area along the Salt River where Mesa's first settlers arrived in 1877. The lots are bigger here, there's plenty of horse property, and irrigation ditches run along many of the streets. That shapes the work: long driveways from the road to the house, trailer and RV pads, barn aprons, a walk from the house to the stalls, and a patio that looks out over the pasture.

About Lehi

Working in Lehi

Lehi is the north Mesa area along the Salt River where Mesa's first settlers arrived in 1877, with larger lots, horse property and irrigation ditches along many of its streets.

The ground is river and wash alluvium, silt and sand that drain well but settle when they're wet or loaded and were never compacted. Trucks and horse trailers are heavy, so we compact the base in lifts and pour thicker sections where they park and turn. We keep ditch water and runoff out from under the slab. The City of Mesa handles permits, and we check its rules for your address.

The ground under Lehi

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.

How we build in Lehi

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
Twelve things worth a look

Signs your Lehi concrete needs attention

Lehi questions

Straight answers

Sam The Concrete Man North Phoenix repairs cracked driveways in Lehi, Mesa, where slabs rest on layered river alluvium and many lots sit near irrigation ditches. Water moving through loose sand and silt can wash out support, and heavy trucks or trailers on a thin slab add to the cracking. We seal stable cracks, level a panel that dropped in one piece with mudjacking or foam, or replace broken panels to the nearest joints on new base, and the estimate shows which one fits.
