Concrete Driveway Contractor in Ahwatukee Foothills, Phoenix, AZ
Late-'80s Ahwatukee driveways, rebuilt for the decades ahead.
Phoenix · River and wash alluvium
Ahwatukee Foothills is the part of Phoenix on the south side of South Mountain, built mostly from the late 1980s through the 1990s. Many driveways are the originals, thirty-plus years on, with cracks at the garage, faded color and aprons that have dropped at the street. Owners usually want a replacement, sometimes a wider drive or a side pad for a trailer or an extra car, and often a finish that brings the front of an older house up to date.
Typical Phoenix-area price$8–$12 / sq ftinstalled · free written estimateWhat Ahwatukee Foothills driveways need
The ground is river and wash alluvium, silt and sand washed down off the mountain. It drains well but settles when wet or loaded if never compacted, and runoff from the mountain side can be heavy in a storm. We dig to firm ground, compact base in lifts, and build thicker where trucks park. The slab gets a slope that carries water to the street, with runoff kept off it and out from under the edges.
Ahwatukee Foothills is in the City of Phoenix, so the section of a driveway in the street right-of-way is built to city standards, 6 inches thick, usually under a city permit, which our crew handles. Part of the area falls under the Ahwatukee Board of Management, registered with the City as an HOA, and other neighborhoods have their own boards. We prepare the layout, finish and color for review.

What’s included
Every Ahwatukee Foothills driveway we pour starts with the ground under it, river and wash alluvium here, and the same list of work goes into the quote:
- New concrete driveways
- Driveway replacement and tear-out
- Extensions, widening and side parking
- RV and trailer parking pads
- Stamped, colored and exposed-aggregate finishes
- Aprons at the street, with the city permit where one is needed
- Caliche, fill and soil checked before forming
- Compacted aggregate base, deeper where you park heavy
- Slope that sends water away from the garage
- Control joints laid out before the pour
- A pour timed and cured for the heat
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.
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
