A concrete driveway in Phoenix has to handle your car every day and 111 days a year at 100°F or hotter. When it cracks across, sinks at the garage or breaks at the edges, it looks bad and it keeps getting worse. Maybe you've filled the cracks and they opened right back up. We tear out failed driveways and pour new ones on a solid base, and we can walk yours the same week you call.
When You Need Concrete Driveways
You need a new driveway when cracks run all the way across, when sections have sunk or lifted so they no longer line up, when the edges are breaking off where tires roll, or when water pools on the driveway or runs toward the garage. A driveway that's simply too small or poorly laid out is a reason too.
Cracks let water into the base, and a soft base lets the slab sink and break further. Left alone, a cracked driveway keeps letting water in, so replacing it before it falls apart usually costs less than waiting.
Driveway damage in the Valley often starts at the edges and the garage. Tires that roll off the side break the edge, and the strip right in front of the garage can sink if water from the roof or the yard drains there. Tree roots near the driveway can lift panels too.
Our Concrete Driveways Process
After the site walk you get a written bid within 24 hours. On the job, we demo and haul off the old driveway, grade and compact the base, set the forms and wire mesh, and pour 4,000 psi concrete. We slope the driveway so water runs off toward the street, give it a broom finish or the finish you pick, cut control joints and clean up.
With a standard mix, you can walk on it in 24 to 48 hours and drive on it after 7 days. We'll give you the date. If your driveway meets a city sidewalk or street, we'll go over any city rules for that part at the walk.
We'll talk about parking while the driveway is out. Most people park on the street for the week the new concrete cures, and we'll tell you when you can walk on it and when you can drive on it, so nobody guesses.
If you want a wider driveway, a parking pad beside it or a new walk to the front door, it's usually cheaper to pour them at the same time while the crew and truck are already there.
Concrete Driveways Cost in Phoenix
Driveway cost depends on the size, how much old concrete has to come out, base repair, the thickness, the finish and how easy the site is to reach. Larger driveways usually cost less per square foot than small ones.
Your written bid lists demo, haul-off, base prep, mesh, the concrete spec, finish, joints and cleanup, and the price is fixed to that scope.
