How to use these

Most Phoenix pad questions are really three questions: what will it cost, how should it be built, and am I allowed to park there. The concrete pad cost guide answers the first with published Phoenix prices.

For an RV, read how big should an RV pad be and RV pad thickness and rebar together, then decide on concrete or gravel.

Before you pour anything you will park on, check the permit and parking rules for your city, then see concrete RV pads for how the job runs.

Concrete pad guides: frequently asked questions

Which concrete pad guide should I read first?

If you are budgeting, start with the concrete pad cost guide, or the RV pad cost guide for an RV. If you are planning an RV pad, read the size guide and the thickness and rebar guide together. Before you pour anything for parking, read the permit and parking rules guide for your city.

Are these guides specific to Phoenix?

Where do the numbers come from?
