Concrete Contractors in Mesa, AZ

Mesa is the next city east of us, and homeowners there call concrete contractors for jobs that range from a cracked 1920s front walk near downtown to a full backyard of patio and pool deck on a newer East Mesa lot. The city stretches about 18 miles from Price Road to Meridian Road and counted 504,258 people in the 2020 census. Back in 1960 it had 33,772. That kind of growth means most of the flatwork in Mesa was poured in a few busy decades, and a lot of it is now old enough to need attention.

Most Mesa slabs date from the 1970s and 1980s

Census housing data summarized by Point2Homes puts the median Mesa home at 1989, with about 19 percent built in the 1970s and 24 percent in the 1980s. A driveway from those years has spent 35 to 50 summers expanding in the heat and shrinking on cool nights. On those homes we tend to find a few familiar problems: a crack running across the drive where no control joint was cut, a panel by the garage that dropped after years of irrigation water soaked the base, and patios that were poured thin and never reinforced.

Not every old slab has to go. If the panels are level and the cracks are narrow, we may recommend cutting out and replacing one or two sections. If the surface is breaking up or water is running under it, a full tear-out with a new compacted base usually lasts longer for the money.

Historic districts near downtown

Mesa has eight locally designated historic districts, including Evergreen, Robson, Temple and West Second Street. The Evergreen Historic District alone holds 197 single-family homes, 125 of them contributing, with a period of significance from 1910 to 1948. Changes to locally designated historic resources go through a Certificate of Appropriateness review, so on those blocks we plan front walks, steps and driveway work with the city's process in mind. A plain broom finish and narrow joints usually suit those bungalows better than a heavy stamped pattern out front.

A wide spread of lots

About 55 percent of Mesa housing is single-family detached and roughly 12.5 percent is mobile homes, so our Mesa work is not one size. We pour pads and walkways for manufactured home lots, RV pads on large-lot properties, and decorative patios on newer homes in the east. Mesa's weather station in East Mesa records a July mean high of 105.9 degrees, a record of 121 and about 10.76 inches of rain a year, a little wetter than central Phoenix. We schedule summer pours for early morning, keep the slab damp while it cures, and set grade so monsoon water heads for the yard or street.
