Concrete Across Glendale's Neighborhoods

Glendale is on the west side of the Valley, and when we travel there as concrete contractors, the job is usually on a home from the 1970s, 1980s or 1990s. Census data summarized by Point2Homes puts the median Glendale home at 1986, with about 23 percent built in the 1970s, 23 percent in the 1980s and 21 percent in the 1990s. The city had 248,325 residents in 2020 across roughly 65 square miles. It started as an 1895 townsite platted by William John Murphy.

Catlin Court and the older core

Near downtown, the Catlin Court Historic District dates to 1914 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 9, 1992, with a boundary increase in 2007. Bungalows are its most common style. Front walks and porch steps on these homes are a big part of how the street looks, so we keep new work simple: a plain broom finish, joint lines that match the house's proportions and a color close to the old concrete.

Glendale grew from 8,179 people in 1950 to 15,893 in 1960, and the postwar neighborhoods around the old core often have narrow driveways and thin original patios that owners want to widen or replace.

Lot coverage and site plans

Glendale's sample residential site plan shows a 40 percent maximum lot coverage, measured as everything under roof, and asks for patios to be shown on the plan. A plain slab with no roof over it is not roof area, but if you are planning a covered patio on new concrete, the cover counts. We help you sketch the layout so the slab and any future cover fit your lot.

Arrowhead and the north side

Arrowhead Ranch began as a citrus farm bought in 1978 and annexed in 1979, and the Arrowhead Towne Center mall opened in 1993, drawing more housing nearby. Homes in the north part of Glendale tend to be newer, with larger backyards, pools and HOA design rules. There the common jobs are pool deck replacements, patio extensions and driveway borders.

Heat and storms

Glendale's climate data comes from the Phoenix Sky Harbor station, which records a 122 degree record high and about 7.22 inches of rain a year. We pour early on summer days, cure carefully and slope slabs so monsoon runoff does not sit against the house.

Glendale Questions

Does a new patio count against lot coverage in Glendale?

Glendale's sample site plan measures lot coverage as area under roof. An open slab is not under roof, but a patio cover over it would count.

Can you make new concrete fit a Catlin Court bungalow?

Yes. We usually suggest a simple broom finish, joint spacing that suits the house and a color close to the original.

My 1980s Glendale driveway has a big crack. Is replacement needed?

Not always. If the slab is level, we may replace only the cracked panel. If it is sinking or breaking up, full replacement is the better fix.
