TRC Concrete Driveway Phoenix – Your Local Concrete Contractor in Phoenix, AZ

Right now, you’re lookin’ at around $135 to $165 per yard, give or take. That’s just the raw concrete. Once you add in delivery, prep, labor, finishing, and cleanup—it climbs. We always tell folks: one yard is like a 3x3x3 cube. Most driveways need more like 8-10 yards. So yeah, price adds up. But we don’t upsell. We quote it fair and we pour it right.

Depends what you’re having done. For a driveway in Phoenix, expect $7 to $12 per square foot. Simple broom finish is cheaper. Fancy stuff—like stamped, stained, or colored? That’s more. Also depends how hard the job is. Hills, tree roots, tight spaces—that all takes more time. But we break it down real simple before we start. No guessin’.

Probably LafargeHolcim or Cemex. They run huge operations worldwide—trucks, plants, cement production, the whole thing. But they ain’t who’s showin’ up to your house. That’s us. Local guys like TRC Concrete Driveway Phoenix who get in the dirt, sweat under the sun, and pour slabs that last. We keep it personal.

Texas, hands down. Big roads, big cities, and a ton of construction goin’ nonstop. Phoenix ain’t too far behind though—we’re growing fast, and it shows. Everywhere you look, there’s dirt being moved and concrete getting poured. New homes, roads, warehouses…we’ve been busy.

Don’t let it dry too fast. Especially in this Phoenix heat. If it cures too quick, it gets weak and cracks easy. We always work early mornings or use water sprays and blankets if needed. Concrete needs to be babied for a few days. Rush it, and it’ll fall apart. Patience matters more than power tools.

People think it’s just “gray stuff in a truck,” but there’s a lot goin’ on. The prep work, the crew, the timing, the tools, the finishing, and then clean-up too. Add in rising material costs, fuel, insurance, and labor, and yeah—it’s not cheap. But when done right, it lasts decades. That’s the trade-off.

Two times: when it’s way too hot or freezing cold. In Phoenix, summer can mess things up quick. If it’s over 105°F, the mix sets too fast. Concrete needs time to settle in. And freezing? Not much of an issue here, but in other places, it’ll crack from frost. We watch the weather like hawks before every pour.

Usually places with big union jobs—like California, New York, or Chicago. But Arizona’s not bad either, especially with all the new building goin’ on. If you’re good with a trowel and don’t mind the sun, Phoenix is a solid place to earn. We keep our crew fed and paid well—good hands are hard to find.

Mostly ‘cause of old habits and wood being cheaper. In other countries, concrete’s more common ‘cause of earthquakes, hurricanes, or just heat. Here, it’s wood frames and drywall. Concrete homes are stronger and fireproof, but the cost upfront turns people off. Still, we get a few requests a year for concrete block homes in Phoenix.

If you mean big-time production, probably Holcim or Cemex. But best for driveways, patios, and local work in Phoenix? That’s TRC Concrete Driveway Phoenix. You don’t want a giant company. You want someone who knows your neighborhood and picks up the phone.

At the joints, near corners, or anywhere it wasn’t poured right. Expansion and movement happen—especially with Phoenix’s wild temps. That’s why we always cut control joints, use rebar, and pour at the right time. A little crack might still happen—it’s concrete—but we do everything to keep it tight and clean.

Asphalt’s cheaper and quicker. That’s it. Concrete lasts longer but costs more up front. For high-traffic roads, some states are switching back to concrete ‘cause it saves money over 30 years. But cities still love asphalt—it’s fast, black, and easy to patch. We’ve done concrete road patches around Phoenix though. It’s coming back.
