Concrete Driveway and Patio Contractor in New River, AZ
Long drives and big lots in open desert around Daisy Mountain.
Maricopa County · Caliche desert floor
New River is open, unincorporated desert spread around Daisy Mountain, about 17,300 people across 56 square miles. Lots are large and homes sit well back from the road, so jobs here tend to be long driveways, wide turnarounds, parking pads for trailers and equipment, and patios built to take in the view. Many owners pour in stages, starting with the drive and coming back for the patio later.
Working in New River
New River is open, unincorporated desert around Daisy Mountain, with about 17,300 people across 56 square miles. Maricopa County handles permits there.
Much of the ground here has caliche below the surface, which traps water and softens the soil above. We dig down, break out caliche that sits high and replace it with compacted base. Because New River is unincorporated, Maricopa County handles permits, and our crew checks what applies to your parcel. It's about 18 miles from our office, and the estimate is free.
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.
Caliche does not dig like dirt, and it does not drain like it either. A tight layer will not let rain or sprinkler water soak through, so the water sits on top of it and softens the soil above. Where caliche is broken out and thrown back in loose, or a slab goes over a soft, wet pocket, the base settles unevenly and the slab cracks over it. Breaking it out takes a breaker or a jackhammer, which is why it often shows up as its own line on a Phoenix quote.
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.
