Glendale has one of the older housing stocks in the West Valley, with large areas built from the 1950s through the 1980s. Concrete from those decades is now well into the part of its life where things start to go wrong, and a good deal of our Glendale work is repair and replacement.

It is also a city with generous older lots, mature trees and detached garages and workshops — which brings a steady stream of slab work alongside the flatwork.

Concrete Work in Glendale

  • Concrete that has reached the end of its life

    Driveways, walkways and patios poured in the sixties and seventies are commonly spalling at the surface, cracked through, or settled at a corner. The useful question is whether the slab underneath is still sound, because that decides whether resurfacing is realistic or replacement is the honest answer.

  • Mature trees and lifted flatwork

    Established Glendale streets have big, old trees, and a root under a walkway or driveway lifts and cracks it. Replacing the surface without dealing with what is under it just resets the same problem, so root and base conditions get looked at first.

  • Detached garages, shops and outbuildings

    Older Glendale lots have room behind the house, and a lot of them have a shop, a shed or a detached garage — or the space to add one. Slabs for those buildings, and replacing floors in existing ones, are regular work here.

  • Trip hazards at joints and transitions

    As older flatwork settles unevenly, one side of a joint ends up above the other. Beyond being a nuisance it is a genuine hazard on a front walk, and correcting the transition is often a small, contained job rather than a large one.

Concrete in Glendale: Common Questions

My 1970s driveway is flaking on the surface. Does it all need replacing?

Not necessarily. Surface spalling and a structurally failed slab are different problems. Where the slab underneath is sound, resurfacing can give you a new wearing surface without removing everything. Where it is cracked through or has settled, replacement is the honest answer. We will tell you which yours is.

A tree root has lifted my front walk. What are the options?

The lifted section has to come out, and then the root situation has to be dealt with before new concrete goes down — otherwise the same thing happens again. Depending on the tree and the root, that can mean rerouting the walk, changing the base or, occasionally, involving an arborist. We will talk you through what your situation allows.

Can you pour a slab for a detached garage or workshop?

Yes, and it is common work on older Glendale lots. Thickness, base and reinforcement are set by what the building will be used for — a storage shed and a working shop with a vehicle in it are different slabs.
