Concrete Driveway Contractor in Maryvale, Phoenix, AZ
Sixty-year-old Maryvale driveways, torn out and poured new.
Phoenix · River and wash alluvium
Maryvale has some of Phoenix's older tract neighborhoods, and in ZIP 85031 the median home dates to 1959. Those houses came with modest driveways, many of them a single car wide, and plenty are still the original slabs. After decades of cars, tree roots and patches, they're cracked, sunken at the street and stained. Farther west the neighborhoods are newer, with wider drives that need extensions or a side pad. Many households here need room for more cars, so widening comes up often at the estimate.
Typical Phoenix-area price$8–$12 / sq ftinstalled · free written estimateWhat Maryvale driveways need
The ground across Maryvale is river and wash alluvium, silt and sand that drains well and settles under water or weight if it was never compacted. Older slabs often sit on thin base or none at all, which is why they crack in the wheel tracks. We dig out to firm ground, compact aggregate base in lifts, set rebar on chairs and build thicker where trucks park. The slope sends water toward the street and keeps it from running under the slab.
Maryvale is part of the City of Phoenix, so the portion of a driveway in the street right-of-way is built to city standards, 6 inches thick, usually under a city permit. Our crew checks and handles that. Most of these streets have easy truck access, and summer pours start in the cool morning hours.

What’s included
Every Maryvale 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
