Concrete Contractors in Paradise Valley, AZ

Paradise Valley is a different kind of job for concrete contractors. The town incorporated on May 24, 1961, largely to keep its low-density character, and postwar settlement came on lots of one to five acres. It covers 15.41 square miles with 12,658 residents in 2020, about 823 per square mile. Mummy Mountain sits in the middle of town, Camelback Mountain forms the southern edge and the Piestewa Peak area lies to the west. A driveway here may run a few hundred feet, and a single backyard can hold a pool deck, a ramada pad and long garden walks.

Homes from every decade since the 1950s

Census data summarized by Point2Homes puts the median Paradise Valley home at 1985, with about 9 percent built in the 1950s, 14 percent in the 1960s and 18 percent in the 1970s. Nearly all homes, around 96 percent, are single-family detached, and about 95 percent are owner-occupied. Many of the older estates have original driveways that have cracked and settled over decades, and many newer homes were built on lots where an older house was removed.

On these properties, concrete is often part of a bigger outdoor plan. We work with the homeowner, and with a landscape designer or architect if there is one, on the driveway, motor court, pool deck and walks so the finishes and joint lines read as one design.

Long driveways need a different approach

A long driveway is not just a big rectangle. It needs control joints planned along its length, a base that will hold up under delivery trucks, and drainage that carries water across or off the drive without eroding the shoulders. On sloped sections near the mountains, we add a broom texture or exposed aggregate for grip and plan swales or crossings for runoff. Large pours are scheduled in sections so each one can be finished and cured properly in desert heat.

Hillside properties

Lots near Mummy Mountain, Camelback and the Phoenix Mountains can be steep. Paradise Valley has a hillside development ordinance that covers mountains, foothills and land over a set slope, with limits on grading and retaining walls. We confirm current town standards before we design a slab or driveway on a hillside lot, and we keep new concrete within the area the lot is allowed to disturb.
