Concrete Driveway Contractor in Chandler, AZ
Chandler driveways from the 80s and 90s, torn out and poured new.
Maricopa County · Caliche desert floor
Half of Chandler's homes were built between the mid-1980s and 2000, and the north and central parts of the city are where we work most. Driveways from that era are reaching the age where the problems show: a corner broken off by the street, a panel lifted near the garage, stains that won't wash out. Many owners also want more room, so widening a two-car drive or adding a side pad for a boat or trailer comes up often.
Typical Phoenix-area price$8–$12 / sq ftinstalled · free written estimateWhat Chandler driveways need
Chandler's soil is mostly caliche desert floor. The caliche layer holds water, the dirt above it softens, and a driveway built on that soft layer settles unevenly. Our crew digs down until it hits firm ground, breaks out caliche that sits too high, and fills back with compacted aggregate base. We set rebar on chairs, lay out control joints before the pour and slope the slab so runoff goes to the street and away from the garage.
The City of Chandler has its own standards for driveway work at the street, and we confirm the permit and spec for your address before we start. A lot of Chandler subdivisions from the 1990s have HOA design review, and we put together the layout, finish and color they ask for. Summer pours start early in the morning.

What’s included
Every Chandler driveway we pour starts with the ground under it, caliche desert floor 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
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.
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.
What fails here first
- Slabs sunk or cracked beside sprinkler beds and downspouts
- Water standing along an edge for days after a storm
- Corners and edges dropped below the next panel
- Cracks that keep opening over the same low spot
