Concrete Patio Contractor in Avondale, AZ

Avondale yards with room to grow, and a patio to fill them.

Maricopa County · Caliche desert floor

Most of Avondale was built from the 1990s on, so the typical backyard has a modest covered slab by the house and plenty of room beyond it. That room is what owners want to use. We pour patio extensions that run the length of the house, separate pads for a fire pit circle or a ramada, outdoor-kitchen slabs, and stamped or colored finishes that make a plain yard feel finished. The Agua Fria River runs through the city, and homes on both banks are in our area.

Planning a patio in Avondale

The ground under Avondale is mostly caliche desert floor. A hard, cemented layer lies a few inches to a few feet down, and water stops on top of it, so the soil above stays soft after storms and watering. A patio that sits on that soft layer settles and cracks. Our crew digs to firm ground, breaks out caliche that sits high, and builds a compacted aggregate base. Then the slab goes in with rebar on chairs and control joints laid out before the pour.

Permits in Avondale go through the City of Avondale, and a patio cover or pergola is what most often needs one. Many neighborhoods also have HOA design review, and we prepare the layout, finish and color it asks for. Nearly all of Avondale sits inside our 25-mile radius, about 20 miles from North Phoenix, next to Tolleson, Goodyear and Litchfield Park. We pour in the cool morning in summer and plan around the monsoon. Call (602) 773-1313 for a free estimate and a printed quote.

  • Fire-pit, grill and outdoor-kitchen slabs
  • Step pads and paths to the patio

  • Compacted base for caliche or clay
  • Joint layout that fits the design
  • Color that holds up in the sun
  • A UV-resistant sealer, renewed every few years
The ground under Avondale

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

Avondale patio questions

Straight answers

Sam The Concrete Man North Phoenix pours and extends patios in Avondale, on both sides of the Agua Fria River. Each slab is pitched away from the house so monsoon rain drains off, and the base is compacted over the gravelly desert soil. We set pergola and shade footings at the same time, and lighter integral colors or cool-deck style finishes help the patio stay cooler.
