How this works

Phoenix Concrete Pads is a concrete pad service for the Phoenix metro, Arizona. It does not pour concrete itself. It connects homeowners with an independently licensed Arizona contractor. Our featured contractor is Richard, who has more than 15 years in block and concrete work around the Valley.

Arizona law requires a contractor's ROC license number on written bids, so you can look it up on the Registrar of Contractors' website before you sign anything.

We are not affiliated with or endorsed by the City of Phoenix, or by any other city whose rules we quote.

Why a site about concrete pads only

Most concrete contractor websites in Phoenix lead with driveways, stamped patios and decorative work. Pads get one line in a list, even though they are what a lot of homeowners actually need: somewhere legal and level to park an RV, a shed that stops rocking, an AC unit that sits flat again.

Pads also come with questions a general page never answers. How thick does a pad have to be for a 30,000 pound motorhome? Does Phoenix let you park an RV in the side yard on gravel? Do you need a permit for a slab in the backyard? Can you pour in July? This site answers those with the source quoted next to the answer.

What we do, and what we send elsewhere

We quote ground-level pads. RV and trailer pads, side-yard parking, driveway extensions on your own lot, carport slabs, shed pads, equipment and spa pads, patio extensions, walkways and replacement of cracked or sunken pads.

We do not quote foundations or any slab that will carry a house, a casita, a garage or another enclosed building. Those are structural jobs with engineered plans, and outside what this site covers.

How this site is sourced

Every price, rule and technical figure was read at its source before it was published. The sources that do the most work:

  • The City of Phoenix Planning & Development Department's 'Work Exempt from Permit' and 'Driveway Policy for Single Family Development' bulletins
  • Phoenix City Code 36-145 and Zoning Ordinance 702, for dust-free parking surfaces
  • City of Mesa Code Compliance and the Town of Gilbert Land Development Code, for RV parking
  • Maricopa County Air Quality Rule 310.01, for unpaved parking areas
  • The American Concrete Institute's hot-weather and joint-spacing guidance, via the Arizona Rock Products Association
  • Published 2026 Phoenix concrete slab prices, for cost ranges
  • The National Weather Service, for monsoon dates and Phoenix heat

Last reviewed October 2026. Where a rule could change, the page tells you to confirm it with the city.

What this site does not claim

What a concrete pad quote should contain

A quote you can compare with another quote line by line. One number for "12 by 40 pad" cannot be compared with anything.

  • The contractor's ROC license number and classification
  • Pad dimensions and square footage
  • Thickness in inches, and whether it thickens at the edges
  • Reinforcement: rebar size and spacing, or wire mesh, or fiber
  • Base: depth of compacted aggregate, and how the subgrade is prepared
  • Demolition and haul-off of any old concrete, priced separately
  • Caliche or rock: how it is handled and priced if it turns up
  • Slope and drainage: which way water leaves the pad
  • Control joints: saw-cut or tooled, and roughly where
  • Finish: broom, smooth or exposed
  • Curing method and when you can walk, drive and park on it
  • Payment schedule, with no large payment up front

Typical ranges are in the concrete pad cost guide and the RV pad thickness and rebar guide.
