Concrete Patio Contractor in Tolleson, AZ

Thirty-year-old Tolleson patios, replaced on firm, compacted soil.

Maricopa County · River and wash alluvium

Tolleson is a small city, under six square miles, set between Phoenix and Avondale. It's growing, too: about 7,200 people in 2020 and an estimated 9,350 by 2024. The median home was built in 1996, so many backyards still have their first patio, a plain slab that has aged right along with the house. Common jobs here are replacing a slab that has cracked or tipped toward the house, extending a small patio across the back, and pouring a pad for a grill, a shade structure or a family table under a pergola.

Planning a patio in Tolleson

The NRCS soil survey maps stream-laid soils under Tolleson, Glenbar and Gilman, fine silt and sand left by water. They drain well, but loose fill settles when it gets wet or carries weight, which is why older patios here dip at the outer edge. We compact in lifts, use a thicker section under heavy features, and keep runoff off the slab and out from under it. The patio slopes toward the yard, and downspouts that dump next to the edge get extended.

Permits in Tolleson go through the City of Tolleson, and a cover or pergola is the part most likely to need one. Where a side yard is tight, we check the access at the estimate and plan a pump hose when a truck can't reach the back. Tolleson is about 17 miles from North Phoenix, near Avondale, Maryvale and Laveen. Summer pours begin in the cool morning, with curing started right away.

  • Fire-pit, grill and outdoor-kitchen slabs

  • Compacted base for caliche or clay
  • Joint layout that fits the design

The ground under Tolleson

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

Tolleson patio questions

Straight answers

Sam The Concrete Man North Phoenix builds patios in Tolleson, where the median home dates to 1996 and many original back slabs are ready for an extension. The new concrete sits on compacted base over the Glenbar and Gilman soils and falls away from the house. Pergola or shade footings go in with the job, and lighter integral colors or cool-deck style textures keep the surface cooler.
