Concrete Driveway and Patio Contractor in Tolleson, AZ
Stream-laid soil, small-city streets, slabs built to stay level.
Maricopa County · River and wash alluvium
Tolleson is a compact city of under six square miles between Phoenix and Avondale. It had about 7,200 people in 2020 and an estimated 9,350 by 2024, and its median home was built in 1996. That mix means some driveways here are close to thirty years old while new houses keep going up, so we get calls for both tear-out and replacement and for first-time patios and extensions.
Working in Tolleson
Tolleson is a small city of under six square miles between Phoenix and Avondale, on stream-laid soils (Glenbar and Gilman in the NRCS soil survey). It had about 7,200 people in 2020 and an estimated 9,350 in 2024, and its median home was built in 1996.
The NRCS soil survey maps stream-laid soils here, Glenbar and Gilman, silt and sand that drains well but settles if it isn't compacted. We compact in lifts, thicken the section where vehicles park, and keep runoff from getting under the slab. The City of Tolleson handles permits, and we check its rules for your address. Tolleson is about 17 miles from our office.
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.
