Concrete Patio Contractor in Kierland, Phoenix, AZ
Resort-style patios a short walk from Kierland Commons.
Phoenix · Caliche desert floor
Kierland homeowners live a few minutes from Kierland Commons and the Westin, and many want the backyard to feel a bit like that: a clean patio with a modern finish, a gas fire feature, a covered lounge and a pad for a built-in grill. Houses and townhomes here are tidy and fairly close together, so the patio usually fills most of the yard. The work we see is often an upgrade, taking out a plain original slab and pouring a larger one with stamped or colored concrete and new shade.

Under Kierland the desert floor has caliche, a hard cemented layer that can sit a few inches or a few feet down. It looks like solid support, but it holds water like a pan, so the soil above it softens after storms and heavy watering. When caliche shows up high in a patio dig, we break it out and replace it with compacted base so the slab rests on something consistent. Slope is set away from the house and pool, and the soil under the patio is kept free of sprinkler overspray.
Kierland homes carry Scottsdale mailing addresses in ZIP 85254, but permits come from the City of Phoenix, which matters for shade structures and walls. Most streets also have an HOA, and we prepare the layout and colors they ask for. Small side yards mean planning access for a pump. Summer pours begin early, with curing started right away, and monsoon storms are watched closely. Free estimate and printed quote: (602) 773-1313.

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
