Concrete Driveway Contractor in Arrowhead Lakes, Glendale, AZ

Driveways and side-yard concrete for the waterfront homes of Arrowhead Lakes.

Glendale · River and wash alluvium

Arrowhead Lakes is the waterfront corner of Arrowhead Ranch in Glendale, where the back yards slope down to a lake or a canal. Owners here put most of their attention on the water side, so the driveway out front tends to get left alone until it cracks across or sinks at the garage. When we're called, the job is often two in one: a new driveway, then a walk or pad through the side yard toward the water. The wider Arrowhead Ranch community has its own page; this one is about the homes on the lakes.

What Arrowhead Lakes driveways need

Ground along the lakes is river silt and sand. It drains well, and it settles if it's wet or carrying weight and was never compacted. On a lot next to the water, keeping the base under a slab dry and firm matters even more, and the side yard leading to the shore can be soft fill. We take out soft soil, compact aggregate base in lifts and pour thicker where cars and trucks park. Each slab is sloped so roof and sprinkler water heads to the street out front and away from the house.

The City of Glendale handles permits, and our crew checks its rules for the slab and the apron. The HOA reviews exterior work in Arrowhead Lakes, including the yard on the water side, so we prepare the layout, finish and color for that review before anything is poured. Back yards here are often reached only through a side gate, and we plan wheelbarrows or a concrete pump hose around it and protect the landscaping on the way. Summer pours start at dawn.

What’s included

Every Arrowhead Lakes 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
The ground under Arrowhead Lakes

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

Sam The Concrete Man North Phoenix builds driveways in Arrowhead Lakes, the waterfront section of Arrowhead Ranch in Glendale, with its own crews. The ground here is layered silt, sand and gravel left by the washes, so we dig past the loose top layers and compact aggregate base in lifts before any rebar goes down on chairs. The apron and any RV pad or widened side get a thicker section, and work at the street end is checked with the City of Glendale.
