New driveways, full replacements, widening and approaches poured to carry daily traffic.

Concrete Driveways for Phoenix Homes

A concrete driveway carries far more weight than a patio, so the base, thickness and reinforcement matter more. Done right, it handles daily parking for decades without sunken corners or split panels.

Most of our driveway work in Phoenix is replacement: an older driveway cracked by roots, settling or heavy trucks, removed and poured new. Widening for an extra car is the next most common job.

Phoenix's driveway policy for single-family homes covers the part of a driveway inside the street right-of-way, between your property line and the street. It calls for Class A concrete, 6 inches thick, for residential driveways there. On streets with roll curb or ribbon curb and gutter, a concrete driveway up to 10.5 feet long in the right-of-way needs no driveway permit, and a longer one needs a separate driveway permit. Where the road has no curb, gutter or sidewalk, a driveway permit is required.

Concrete Driveways Questions

Do I need a permit for a concrete driveway in Phoenix?

Only for some parts. On streets with roll or ribbon curb, a concrete driveway up to 10.5 feet long in the right-of-way needs no driveway permit, while longer ones and streets with no curb need one. The section on your own lot is a separate question we check during the estimate.

How thick should a driveway be?

Phoenix's policy calls for 6-inch Class A concrete for residential driveways in the right-of-way. We pour driveways to carry the vehicles you'll park on them.

Can you widen my driveway without replacing it?

Yes. We pour a new strip next to the existing slab and tie it in. The new concrete won't match the old color exactly at first.

Can I get a stamped driveway?

Yes, on your lot. In the right-of-way, Phoenix's policy needs a maintenance agreement for finishes other than rough broom past 10.5 feet, so many stamped driveways switch to broom finish at the property line.
