Concrete Patio Contractor in Gilbert, AZ
Patios built for clay that swells after every storm.
Maricopa County · Expansive clay pockets
North Gilbert is mostly 1990s and early-2000s subdivisions, and by now plenty of those backyards are ready for a real outdoor room. We pour a lot of patio extensions here, plus pads for pergolas, outdoor kitchens and fire pits. Owners often want the patio carried out past the covered porch so the table sits in the open on winter evenings and under shade in summer. Stamped and colored finishes are popular, and so is a simple broom finish with a decorative border.

The ground is the big difference in Gilbert. NRCS soil maps show Contine clay loam over much of north Gilbert, one of the more expansive soils in the Valley. It swells after a monsoon storm and shrinks as it dries, and a lawn or drip line on one side keeps that side wetter than the other. We take out the soft clay, put in compacted base, keep turf and drip lines back from the edge, and plan the drainage so moisture under the slab stays steady.
Gilbert projects go through the Town of Gilbert, and we'll confirm whether a covered patio or shade structure on your lot needs a permit. Nearly every subdivision here has HOA design review, so we put the layout, finish and color on paper for you to submit. We plan pours around the monsoon forecast and pour early on summer mornings.

What’s included
A Gilbert patio gets planned around the yard, the shade and where storm water goes on expansive clay pockets, and the quote spells out each part:
- New patios and patio extensions
- Stamped, colored and exposed-aggregate finishes
- Pergola and shade-structure pads, with footers
- Fire-pit, grill and outdoor-kitchen slabs
- Step pads and paths to the patio
- Patio replacement and resurfacing
- Slope away from the house
- 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
Expansive clay pockets
Pockets of clay-rich soil on the fan terraces and old basin floor that the soil survey flags for shrink-swell, such as the Carefree and Contine soils.
Remove the soft and organic soil, bring in compacted aggregate base, set rebar on chairs, and keep the moisture under the slab steady: drainage away from it, and turf and drip lines held back from its edges.
What fails here first
- Cracks that move with the seasons, worst after the monsoon
- Lifted edges along walks and patio borders
- Slabs tipping back toward the house or garage
- Cracks that line up with a lawn or planter bed
