Residential concrete pour in progress in a Phoenix backyard: wooden forms, rebar on chairs, a concrete truck chute in the foreground and a screed board leveling wet concrete, stucco block wall and desert sky behind

Phoenix Concrete Contractor

Concrete Contractor in Phoenix, AZ

Residential and light commercial concrete, from forms and rebar to the finish and the cure.

How We Pour Concrete in Phoenix

Every concrete job follows the same order: mark the layout, remove old concrete or soil, grade and compact the subgrade, set forms, place rebar or mesh on chairs, pour, screed, float, finish, cut joints and cure.

We pour for homeowners and for light commercial properties such as small offices, retail pads, dumpster enclosures and sidewalks. The steps are the same; thickness, reinforcement and joint layout change with the load.

Arizona law requires contacting Arizona 811 before digging, and the service is free. Locators have two full working days to respond, and we don't dig until every utility on the ticket has. Within 24 inches of a marked line, the law allows hand tools only.

Inside a Concrete Pour

Wooden form boards staked along string lines for a new concrete slab in desert soil, ready for gravel and rebar

Forms and layout

Form boards staked to string lines set the shape, height and slope of the slab.

The pour

Ready-mix placed straight into the forms and worked around the rebar.

Finishing

Screed, bull float, edger and broom, timed to how fast the slab is setting.

Joints and curing

Control joints cut early and the surface kept from drying too fast.

What Drives the Cost of Concrete Work

Cost factorWhat it coversWhy it matters
Demolition and haul-offBreaking out old concrete, loading and disposalRemoving an old driveway or patio can take as much labor as pouring the new one.
Grading and baseCutting to grade, breaking caliche, compacting the subgradeA slab poured on loose or uneven ground settles and cracks.
Thickness and reinforcementSlab depth, rebar or mesh, thickened edgesDriveways and RV pads carry more weight than patios and need more concrete and steel.
FinishBroom, stamped, colored or exposed aggregateDecorative finishes take more crew time and materials on pour day.
AccessPump truck, wheelbarrows, gate widthA backyard the truck can't reach needs a pump or more hands.

Your price comes down to how much concrete goes in, how much prep it takes to get the ground ready, and the finish. We list each one separately in your written estimate.

How a Concrete Project Works

  1. Site visit. We measure, check grade and drainage, and look at access for the truck.
  2. Estimate. You get thickness, finish options and a written estimate with each part listed.
  3. Locates and review. We request Arizona 811 locates and check whether the right-of-way needs a permit.
  4. Prep and pour. Demolition, grading, forms, rebar, then the pour and finish on one day.
  5. Cure and walkthrough. We go over curing, when you can walk and drive on it, and care.

Concrete Contractor Questions

How much does a concrete contractor cost in Phoenix?

It depends on the square footage, thickness, finish and how much prep the site needs. Removing old concrete, breaking caliche and limited truck access all add labor. We measure first and give you a written estimate with demolition, base, concrete and finish listed separately.

Do you do commercial concrete?

Yes, light commercial work such as sidewalks, small parking pads, dumpster enclosures and slabs for small buildings. Large commercial jobs with engineered plans are outside what we take on.

Rebar or wire mesh?

Rebar on chairs holds its position in the slab better than mesh that gets stepped on during the pour. We pick reinforcement for the load the slab will carry.

How long before I can use new concrete?

Foot traffic usually comes first and vehicles later. We give you dates for your pour, since mix, thickness and weather all change the timing.
