Concrete Patio Contractor in Old Town Scottsdale, AZ
Small-space patios for condos and older homes near the arts district.
Scottsdale · Caliche desert floor
Around Old Town Scottsdale, close to the shops and the arts district near Scottsdale Road and Indian School Road, the housing is a mix of older single-family homes, condos and townhomes. Outdoor space is often a walled courtyard, a narrow side yard or a modest backyard. Patios here are about making that space count: a stamped or colored slab that looks finished, a small fire table area, a shaded corner, and good drainage so a courtyard doesn't hold water after a storm.

The ground under Old Town is caliche desert floor. That hard layer can sit just a few inches down, and it holds water, so the soil above it softens after rain or heavy watering. In a closed courtyard that combination is what makes old patios sink in the corners. We dig the patio area, break out caliche that sits high, put in compacted base, and set the slab to fall toward a drain or opening. Planters along walls get an edge so their water stays out of the base.
Old Town is in the City of Scottsdale, and covered structures and walls often need city review; the crew checks your plan. Many condos and townhomes have an HOA, and we prepare the layout, finish and color it asks for. Access through gates or garages and parking on busy streets get planned at the estimate. Summer pours start early with curing right away. Free on-site estimate and printed quote: (602) 773-1313.
What’s included
A Old Town Scottsdale patio gets planned around the yard, the shade and where storm water goes on caliche desert floor, 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
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
